Posted: January 3, 2025
The article highlights the importance of promoting primary prevention and oral health in dental education through Integrated Oral Health Care Pathways (IOHCPs). The study focused on designing IOHCPs for adults and children at Tehran University of Medical Sciences, School of Dentistry, emphasizing primary prevention of oral diseases. Qualitative methods and the Delphi method were employed to develop these care pathways, covering dental caries, periodontal diseases, pre-cancerous lesions, and TMJ problems. The pathways include risk assessment, follow-up protocols, home care instructions, and preventive interventions for dental students. This innovative approach integrates prevention with treatment to enhance patients' oral health.
