Professor Phoebus Madianos, chair of Europerio10, is not concerned with #prevention at all. In fact, he is looking forward to more disease!

"I am not sure how periodontal practice will look exactly in 10-20 years from now. But I am convinced ..."
" ... that the need for treating periodontally compromised teeth will increase, as well as the need of treating biological complications of implants." -\- #PityThePatients

Almost eighty four years ago now, Dr Bass published his first paper. Four generations of #Dentistry have gone by. In all that time, two, maybe three, out of a hundred #Dentist's see the value in preventing #dentaldisease.
The rest are too busy treating the diseases they all say is "largely #preventable'. Organized #Dentistry ignored Dr Bass, while #PreventiveDentistry quietly did its thing.
One serves #Dentistry, one serves the public health-welfare.

This is really a marvelous addition to the twtrsphere. threadreaderapp.com/thread/1535627…
Good for #FluorideFriday! #EndFluoridation, it doesn't prevent tooth decay if you control for personal oral hygiene and/or diet; we would bet that even Dr Limeback's "one tooth, maybe" postulation would disappear & go the other way if such controls were taken.
The biggest fallacy of adding bioavailable #fluorine to our potable water supply, to prevent tooth decay?

A good one for this weeks #FluorideFriday. Good find!
#TheyDontKnowAndTheyDoItAnyway. -|- "Conclusions

Bi-lingual bad flossing. These jokers just can't find anyone who knows how to hold dental floss. Much less use it. Stock photo's are just not cutting it. Almost as bad as using teeth models to teach brushing. Does no one ever stop and think? Image

Wasn't that the paper that showed beyond a shadow of a doubt that kids in Edmonton suffer #fluorosis 3X more than kids in Calgary? Why, yes, yes it is! Seems to be some credibility fluffing going on.
That was the paper ginned up for the #Calgary vote. If one reads it, it doesn't support #fluoridation. #FluorideFriday! -|- "For smooth surface caries in the permanent dentition (DMFS-SS), there were no statistically significant differences between Calgary and Edmonton samples."
DYK? Enamel #fluorosis is the first, most obvious sign of long term, chronic #fluorine intoxication? -|- "Table 1 also shows that the crude prevalence of dental fluorosis (% TSIF ≥ 1) was statistically significantly lower in Calgary (fluoridation cessation) ..."

Heartening to know that today there are gobs & scads of young #Dentist's who want to learn more about who precisely WAS "C.C. Bass, M.D", and what did he have to say about #PreventiveDentistry? Image
For the last few decades or so, just about any young #Dentist, when they first learn the real story of who "C. C. Bass, M.D." is, and what he actually did, are puzzled.
A couple of channels results from their #DentalSkool teaching, and thus their thinking.
