The vision is that every dental health care professional, upon seeing a patient with gingivitis and \/ or periodontitis, can and will:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Make a diagnosis(es) and communicate the relevance of the condition to the patient. Explore risk factors and modify behaviour for successful outcomes<\/li>\n<li>Help every patient who receives the diagnosis(es) to be empowered to improve their oral health for life.\u2019<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Julie Deverick commented: \u2018I\u2019m excited about the vision in the statement, because it\u2019s something we can all now bring to our Societies and to our profession.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Johnson &amp; Johnson have an ongoing commitment to the vision statement, and will work with that in mind, ensuring that all professional communications support the concept, to the benefit of the profession and patients.<\/p>\n<p>The OH! Panel was a natural extension of The OH! Challenge, which was launched at the 2017 British Dental Conference and Exhibition. At the event, dental health care professionals (DHCPs) were invited to undertake a simple survey, created to test their knowledge in relation to key oral health topics. This provided valuable data for the creation of a communications programme to support DHCPs in keeping their knowledge current.<\/p>\n<p>In total, 464 dental health care professionals took part in the survey. Overall, the average score amongst all participants was 51%.<\/p>\n<p>Further key findings included:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>46% did not know that gingivitis and periodontitis are a continuum of the same inflammatory disease<\/li>\n<li>Only 44% knew the updated BPE guidelines for code 3 sextants<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Please visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.listerineprofessional.co.uk\">www.listerineprofessional.co.uk<\/a> to see the results in more detail, to take the test and to access the supporting programme of evidence-based content.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On 15 March, Johnson &amp; Johnson hosted The OH!
