Hanoverian prevention concept to improve (self-responsible) home-based oral hygiene

Caries and periodontitis are biofilm associated diseases with multifactorial causes. In addition to regular visits to the dentist and dietary control, the efficient removal of oral biofilm plays a major role in the prevention of these diseases. The removal of biofilm should not only be the concern of the dental professional, but rather that of the patient who should routinely employ home-based oral hygiene measures. Therefore, self-responsible, home-based oral hygiene is an important pillar for maintaining oral health.
