Adolescent are the only age groupe that has not had an improvement in its overall health status in any country, during the past 30 years. This population group is difficult to attract and shows high buccal disease levels. Therefore, it is suggested the treatment of dental caries as an infectiuos disease, based on risk diagnosis, so as to adecuate our intervention to the pacient´s risk for this disease.
Risk determinants are analyzed as well as the possibity of modifying them by means of educational measures, oral hygiene training , dietary counselling, use of sealants for cavities and fissures, use of fluorides, antimicrobial agents, and rehabilitation techniques tailored for each patient. It is also carried out a meticulous study on indications, advantages and limitations of each intervention modality,as well as factors that might affect the succes of this treatment. The same intends to foster the development of behaviors that promote the health of adolescent in our country.
