DENTAL ATTENTION FOR CHILDREN, DENTAL ATTENTION, TEENAbstract
An analysis is made of the strategies established and the results attained in dental care of children and adolescents (population from 0 to 18 years old). Emphasis is made on the established strategy where children and adolescents are classified according to their localization at home, at children's institutions, or at primary and middle level educational centers. It continues with the network of institutions of the National Public Health System providing dental care and the working group or team of oral health arranged hierarchically by the stomatologist. Reference is made to the 3 levels of attention and services: the organization of the attention by the incremental system, the surveillance and evaluation of the health status previous to the diagnosis and the action plan. Finally, the results of the National Comprehensive Dental Care Program for this population are given in accordance with the data of the National Health Statistics System, the results of the "oral health survey" oriented by the WHO, and their comparison with the goals proposed by the WHO/IDF for 2000, which are successfully fulfilled. No. 1 and 2 are accomplished in more than 100 % and No. 3 at 89.20 %.Downloads
