The outcome of a practitioner-orientated joint project between Unilever's Elida Gibbs and FDI, together with Elida Gibbs patient-orientated programme is described. The practitioner-orientated project concentrated on activities associated with the use of the Community Periodontal Index of Treatment Needs (CPITN) in general dental practice. These activities, involving sponsored research at a dental school and a study with UK dentists, have shown the potential of CPITN as a screening method for patients in general practice for periodontal diseases. There is evidence to show that patient-orientated programmes have increased periodontal awareness in the UK.
本文描述了联合利华旗下的伊丽达·吉布斯公司与国际牙科联合会开展的一项以从业者为导向的联合项目成果，以及伊丽达·吉布斯公司以患者为导向的项目。以从业者为导向的项目主要聚焦于在普通牙科实践中使用社区牙周治疗需求指数（CPITN）相关的活动。这些活动包括在一所牙科学院开展的赞助研究以及一项针对英国牙医的研究，结果显示CPITN作为一种在普通牙科实践中筛查牙周疾病患者的方法具有潜力。有证据表明，以患者为导向的项目提高了英国民众对牙周病的认知。
