Workshop Synopsis:
An Introductory iTOP Oral Hygiene Instruction Workshop - Dr Tihana Divnic-Resnik
Individually trained oral prophylaxis (iTOP) is the main pillar of maintenance of oral
health and has been implemented in dental practices worldwide.
Effective regular mechanical plaque control, as the principal component of iTOP
concept, is a gold standard that can be achieved only in well informed and trained
individuals.
It is of a paramount importance for prevention and successful treatment as well as
maintenance of results achieved following the therapy.
As one size does not fit us all, iTOP advocates individual approach that is tailored to
individual needs of our patients. As such, it is highly effective in promoting positive
behaviour and habits towards prevention of the most common oral diseases such as
dental caries and periodontitis. iTOP – individually trained oral prophylaxis – is a method to learn optimal oral health
management through hands-on training (T2T) on the use of selected tools and
techniques.
Learning objectives:
- Understand biofilm, phases of its accumulation and keystone pathogens
- Understand pitfalls related to earlier & current preventive concepts
- Understand basic criteria of iTOP
- Be proficient in providing individually tailored mechanical biofilm control information
and
Training using T2T method.
