Differences in caries experience were found among race and race-ethnicity subpopulations 5 Kaste LM, et al. Coronal caries in the primary and permanent dentition of children and adolescents 1-17 years of age: United States, J Dent Res Feb; 75 Spec No: % of Children Have 80% of Caries DentaQuest A human health condition or disease that is persistent or otherwise long-lasting in its effects. The term chronic is usually applied when the course of the disease lasts for more than three months. [1] [1] A growing body of evidence supports that prevention is effective in reducing the effect of chronic conditions; in particular, early detection results in less severe outcomes. [2] Chronic Disease is a long-lasting condition that can be controlled but not cured.

JADA 2006;137; Fluoride Recommendation DentaQuest Many patients presenting with recurrent gingivitis without additional attachment loss after definitive periodontal therapy may be adequately maintained with PM performed semiannually. In general, data suggest that most patients with a previous history of periodontitis should obtain PM at least four times per year, since that interval will result in a decreased likelihood of progressive disease, compared to patients receiving PM on a less frequent basis Periodontal Maintenance (2003) J Periodontol 2003;74: Frequency for Periodontal Maintenance DentaQuest First goal is to increase the percentage of perio patients receiving at least 2 maintenances per year 22 Perio Patients Receiving Perio Maintenance DentaQuest 23 Identify Relevant Subpopulation for Proactive Care Provide Timely Reminders for Providers & Patients DentaQuest 24 Health System: Provide Incentives Based on Quality DentaQuest 25 Results for Populations DentaQuest Names of Providers on X Axis 26 Fluoride Results for Network Providers DentaQuest Names of Providers on X Axis 27 Perio Results for Network Providers DentaQuest The highest bonuses are in $7,000 - $8,000 range Around 60% of dentist achieve the fluoride goal Around 75% of dentists achieve the perio goal Around 85% of dentists receive a financial bonus Improved quality of care Improved our Program Quality Score Reimbursed for quality not just quantity (P4P) 28 Overall Results for Network Providers DentaQuest 29 ECC Disease Management Early Childhood Caries and Severe ECC DentaQuest The disease of ECC is the presence of 1 or more decayed (noncavitated or cavitated lesions), missing (due to caries), or filled tooth surfaces in any primary tooth in a child under the age of 6. In children younger than 3 years of age, any sign of smooth- surface caries is indicative of severe early childhood caries (S- ECC). From ages 3 through 5, 1 or more cavitated, missing (due to caries), or filled smooth surfaces in primary maxillary anterior teeth or a decayed, missing, or filled score of 4 (age 3), 5 (age 4), or 6 (age 5) surfaces also constitutes S-ECC. 30 AAPD Early Childhood Caries DentaQuest Empower and prepare patients to manage their health and health care Emphasize the patients central role in managing their health Use effective self-management support strategies that include assessment, goal-setting, action planning, problem-solving and follow-up Organize internal and community resources to provide ongoing self-management support to patients Chronic Care Model: Self Management Support DentaQuest 32 INITIAL OR RECALL APPT Medical history Caries Risk Assessment (CRA) Exam/X-rays Behavioral assessment INITIAL OR RECALL APPT Medical history Caries Risk Assessment (CRA) Exam/X-rays Behavioral assessment VISIT 1 Self-management goals (diet, oral hygiene, home fluoride) Fluoride varnish Indicated clinical care VISIT 1 Self-management goals (diet, oral hygiene, home fluoride) Fluoride varnish Indicated clinical care D ISEASE M ANAGEMENT V ISIT Caries Risk Assessment Clinical/X-ray exam Fluoride varnish Re-define or re-emphasize self-management goals Behavioral assessment D ISEASE M ANAGEMENT V ISIT Caries Risk Assessment Clinical/X-ray exam Fluoride varnish Re-define or re-emphasize self-management goals Behavioral assessment R ESTORATIVE ITR V ISIT ( S ) Provide restorative care as indicated Provide ITR as indicated Schedule OR time if indicated R ESTORATIVE ITR V ISIT ( S ) Provide restorative care as indicated Provide ITR as indicated Schedule OR time if indicated C HILDREN AT H IGH R ISK Schedule next Disease Management visit in 1 month C HILDREN AT H IGH R ISK Schedule next Disease Management visit in 1 month C HILDREN AT M EDIUM R ISK Schedule next Disease Management visit in 3 months C HILDREN AT M EDIUM R ISK Schedule next Disease Management visit in 3 months C HILDREN AT L OW R ISK Schedule next Disease Management visit in 6 month C HILDREN AT L OW R ISK Schedule next Disease Management visit in 6 month 32 Risk-Based Disease Management Protocols DentaQuest 33 DentaQuest 34 ECC disease management approach based on premise that a patients caries risk status is not static, but can be managed and improved over time. 34 Patients Caries Risk Status is Not Static DentaQuest 35 Improved Outcomes and Patient Experience DentaQuest 36 DentaQuest Contact information Robert Compton, DDS Executive Director DentaQuest Institute October 2013
