PREVECC : Prevention of Early Childhood Caries

Modeling a multi-level prevention intervention for early childhood caries patients and their families

Project overview Following on from the EPIECC study, the PREVECC research project aims, via its various components, to propose a complex intervention model, centred on therapeutic patient education and aimed at reducing social inequalities in oral health. Beyond a model centered on the hospital, this proposal questions the implementation in a defined territory of a network of actors graduated according to the stage of the carious disease and the places frequented by implementing interventions in favor of the development of an educational continuum in oral health.
