Spanish term

desfocalización

Spanish to English Medical Medical: Dentistry
Does anybody know the equivalent of this term in English?

Context: School Health and Nutrition (SHN) program implemented in rural areas.
"Se realizaron 2,000 atenciones odontológicas...de las cuales 357 fueron tratadas con la practica de restauración atraumatica (PRAT). Tambien se ejecutaron 1,059 desfocalizaciones y 367 exodoncias. Esta intervención ha demostrado que existe población escolar en necesidad de contar una atención que pueda prevenir la salud oral..."

cleaning (procedures)

seems to be something like this

Cabe resaltar que la labor del odontólogo no es solamente asistencial; su aporte en la educación para la prevención y el control de las infecciones orales es bien importante, debiendo aplicar medidas educativas sobre higiene y procedimientos locales de desfocalización (lavados o irrigaciones, destartrajes, alisados, radiculares, terapia pulpar, exodoncias y otros), todo lo cual debe apuntar hacia un alivio de la condición oral.

Regular teeth cleaning (Prophylaxis) by a dental hygienist is recommended to remove tartar (mineralized plaque) that may develop even with careful brushing and flossing, especially in areas that are difficult for a patient to reach on his own at home. Professional cleaning includes tooth scaling and tooth polishing and debridement if too much tartar has accumulated. This involves the use of various instruments or devices to loosen and remove deposits from the teeth.

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thank you, Rachel. Your explanation is the most suitable one given that the SHN program in question is implemented in remote rural areas of Bolivia and laser treatments seem unlikely in that context."

laser treatment in defocused mode/defocused laser treatment

Only one hit for “defocalization” and not on a bona fide English language medical site.

http://209.85.229.132/search?q=cache:CrrS4vA_WC8J:scielo.isc...

= defocalization

http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&safe=off&num=100&q=defo...

here “defocalization” has been translated as “defocusing”

However, hits for “defocused/defocused mode”
