▼ Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine if
early
dental care had an effect on the behavior of a child. The
American Academy of pediatric dentistry recommends a child have
their first
dental visit by age one. Research shows this
recommendation of an early
dental visit is beneficial in prevention
due to early childhood caries being so prevalent amongst the
pediatric patient population, but there is no current research
suggesting early
dental care will affect a child’s behavior at
dental appointments. Methods: A retrospective study was completed
using a convenience sample of patients in a private pediatric
dental practice. To be included in the study patients had to have
at least a two-year
dental history in the
dental practice, they had
to be between the ages of six months to eight years old, and their
first visit had to include a prophylaxis. Patients with a medical
alert were excluded from this study. The Frankl behavior scale was
used to measure patient behavior. Results: The results showed a
slight positive correlation between patient age and Frankl behavior
(r=.282, p=.001). There was no significant difference of behavior
based on gender. There was also no significant in the age of a
child at their first
dental visit and the behavior of a child at
their first
dental visit. Conclusion: Evidence suggests a slight
positive behavior change as a child increases in age. This study
also showed no significant evidence of the age of a child at their
first
dental visit having a direct effect on the child’s behavior
as they get older and gain more
dental experiences. Establishing a
dental home by the recommended age of the AAPD (age one) is
important in educating parents on prevention of decay, but
according to this study, establishing a
dental home at an early age
does not affect behavior.

▼ The purpose of this study was to learn about various Intensive
Care Units’ current oral hygiene
care protocols, nurses’ values, and interests in interprofessional collaboration with a
dental professional. An online survey was created and intended recipients included 1,696 members of the Trauma ICU Nurses/Critical
Care Medicine Facebook page. Participants were asked about their value of oral hygiene, oral hygiene education, and interest in interprofessional collaboration. Of the 1,696 nurses 34 (2%) opted to participate in this survey study. Findings from this study suggest that these nurses’ value oral health in themselves and in patients. Half of the survey participants reported that their nursing education did prepare them in performing oral hygiene
care, but also reported that they did not have proper resources for assistance. The sample of nurses were receptive to interprofessional collaboration with
dental professionals to assist in hands on learning as well as steps to ensure accountability.

▼ Background. The relationships between crestal bone topography and implant positioning on interproximal soft tissue morphology adjacent to sintered porous-surfaced (SPS) dental implants were investigated.
Methods. Assessment of implant position and osseous topography of 102 SPS implants was conducted using digitized standardized radiographs and interpreted with computer software. Gingival papilla morphology was assessed using the Jemt Papillary index from digital photos.
Results. The mean bli (bone level-to-implant) was 1.00 mm. The retention of mid-proximal crestal bone height (pcl ) was optimal at a horizontal inter-implant distance (hiid ) of >4 mm or a horizontal implant-to-tooth distance (hitd ) of >1.5 mm. Neither contact point distance nor pcl effected gingival papillae form. Papilla morphology appeared to be influenced most by horizontal distance and the adjacent tooth bone height.
Conclusion. Optimal gingival papilla form adjacent to SPS implants appears to rely mainly on: (1) the horizontal distance and (2) the osseous support of the adjacent tooth.

▼ This randomized-controlled and double-blinded clinical study assessed the antibacterial efficacy of (1) final rinse with BioPure™MTAD™, and (2) intracanal-medication with 2% chlorhexidine gel (CHX) in teeth with apical periodontitis in consenting humans. Thirty teeth were chemomechanically prepared using NaOCl, then rinsed with MTAD, or coloured saline. Bacteriological samples were obtained from canals before preparation (IA), after preparation (1B), and after the final rinse (1C). After 7d medication with CHX canals were flushed, sampled (2A), further irrigated and re-sampled (2B). Bacteria were enumerated by colony-forming-unit (CFU) counts after 14d incubation and epifluorescence-microscopy.
High counts in 1A samples were >99% lower in 1B samples. Lower counts in 1B, 1C, 2A and 2B samples were not significantly different from each other. Microscopic counts were higher than CFU counts.
A final rinse with MTAD and intracanal-medication with CHX did not reduce bacterial counts in infected canals beyond levels achieved by chemomechanical preparation using NaOCl.

▼ In previous studies at The Ohio State University,
significant impact energyabsorption differences were found for
mouthguard materials tested in dry and wetconditions. Objective:
Measure energy absorption of 3 popular mouthguard materialsexposed
to an artificial saliva (Roxane Laboratories, Columbus, OH) and
compare toenergy absorption for the dry condition and after
conditioning in deionized water.Methods: Thirty specimens with 12.7
cm æmdash; 12.7 cm æmdash; 4 mm dimensions of (a) ethylene vinyl
acetate (EVA; T and S
Dental and Plastics, Myerstown, PA), (b)
Pro-form™ (
Dental Resources Inc., Delano, MN), another ethylene
vinyl acetate material, and(c) PolyShok™ (Sportsguard Laboratories,
Kent, OH), an ethylene vinyl acetatecontaining polyurethane, were
prepared following manufacturer recommendations. Tenspecimens of
each material were conditioned for 1 h at body temperature (37°C)
in thedry condition, deionized water and artificial saliva.
Specimens were impacted at 20 mphby a 0.5-inch diameter indenter
containing a force transducer (Dynatup Model 9250 HV,Instron Corp.,
Canton, MA), based upon ASTM (American Society for Testing
andMaterials) Standard D3763. Energy absorption was determined from
the area under theforce-time curve during the impact event
(approximately 5 or 7 millisec depending on thematerial). Groups
were compared using ANOVA and the Tukey test. Regions near
theimpact site were examined with an SEM. Results: Energy
absorption values, normalizedto specimen thickness (mean ± SD in
J/mm), were: (a) Dry: EVA (n = 10) 4.73 ± 0.27,Pro-form™ (n = 10)
3.55 ± 0.25, PolyShok™ (n = 10) 6.32 ± 0.24; (b) DI water: EVA (n=
10) 4.82 ± 0.40, Pro-form™ (n = 10) 3.78 ± 0.33, PolyShok™ (n = 10)
5.87 ± 0.38;(c) Artificial saliva: EVA (n = 10) 5.63 ± 0.49,
Pro-form™ (n = 10) 4.01 ± 0.54,PolyShok™ (n = 10) 6.37 ± 0.55.
PolyShok™ was the most energy-absorbent material inall three
environments. EVA was also significantly more impact resistant
thanProForm™ in all three environments. EVA and ProForm™ performed
significantly betterafter saliva conditioning than dry or water
conditioned, but Polyshok™ did not show anydifference in energy
absorption when conditioned in any of the three
environments.Characteristic deformation patterns from impact
loading were observed for each material.Conclusions: The superior
energy absorption for PolyShok™ is attributed to thepolyurethane
additive.

▼ The purpose of this prospective, randomized,
single-blind study was to evaluate the reversal of soft tissue
anesthesia in endodontic patients. Eighty-five adult subjects (51
females and 34 males) who had asymptomatic teeth requiring
endodontic treatment received either OraVerse™ or sham injection(s)
at the end of the procedure. Soft tissue anesthesia was monitored
by the subjects every 15 minutes for 5 hours. Subjects reported
postoperative injection site and experimental tooth pain using a
Heft-Parker visual analog scale every 30 minutes for the first two
postoperative hours, and every hour for three
hours. There was a statistically significant
difference in time to return to normal sensation for the maxillary
lip/cheek, mandibular lip, maxillary gingiva, and mandibular
gingiva. Subjects who received OraVerse™ experienced a 88-minute
decrease in time to return to normal maxillary lip/cheek sensation,
a 47-minute decrease in time to return to normal mandibular lip and
maxillary gingival sensation, and a 41-minute decrease in time to
return to normal mandibular gingival sensation. There was a
27-minute decrease in time to return to normal tongue sensation for
subjects in the OraVerse™ group, which was not statistically
significant. Subjects who received OraVerse™ did
not experience significantly more postoperative discomfort at the
injection site or from the endodontically-treated tooth.
Postoperative complications were minimal, and no adverse reactions
to the OraVerse™ were reported. OraVerse™ may be beneficial for
asymptomatic patients who would like to experience a faster return
to normal soft tissue function and sensation after the
administration of local anesthesia for endodontic
treatment.

▼ Numerous studies have been published exploring
reliable variables to predict success within
dental hygiene
programs and on subsequent National Board
Dental Hygiene
Examination (NBDHE). Variables include demographics, American
College Testing (ACT), Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT), high school
grade point average (GPA),
Dental Hygiene Aptitude test, college
science GPA, mock examinations, college grades in sociology,
general psychology, nutrition and anatomy as some possible
predictors of pass/fail status on the NBDHE. However, no studies
were found using data collected since the NBDHE format changed in
1998 to investigate if traditional predictors persevere.The
objective of this study was to examine the relationship between
pre¬admission requirements, the cumulative
dental hygiene GPA (CDHY
GPA), basic college science requirements, the site of academic
preparation and the NBDHE score. Data from the academic records of
the 133 graduates of the
dental hygiene program of The Ohio State
University from 1998 through 2002 were entered into an Excel
spreadsheet under identification numbers. Demographic information
for the description of the subjects, course transfer data, course
grades in program prerequisites, course grades in basic science
requirement, CDHY GPA and NBDHE scores were entered. Data were
imported into the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences
(SPSS) for analysis and summarized using frequencies, percentage,
and means. Specific research questions were answered using
Pearson's r correlations, regression analysis and analysis of
variance (ANOVA) with a pre-determined level of significance at
.05.Results indicate the existing prerequisites for the
dental
hygiene program remain strong predictors for success. However, a
stronger correlation was noted between Human Nutrition and the CDHY
GPA. Thus admission committees should consider rearranging its
position within the curriculum to a pre-admission requirement to
add more validity to predictors. Other core science courses
completed while in the program, Anatomy, Physiology and
Microbiology also rendered a moderately strong correlation to the
CDHY GPA. Regression analysis verifies Human Nutrition to be the
greatest predictor of the CDHY GPA with Anatomy, Biology and
Chemistry 1 following in descending order. The single greatest
predictor for success on the NBDHE was the student’s CDHY GPA.
Consistency in site of science preparation also revealed a positive
correlation to the CDHY GPA and NBDHE. Regression analyses of the
variables that account for NBDHE performance were the CDHY GPA and
the prerequisite 3-science GPA. However, coefficients of regression
show them to be moderately weak predictors.

▼ Introduction: The study aims to determine if a battery-operated toothbrush will result in a greater improvement in oral health as compared to a manual toothbrush and if the provision of oral home care instructions will lead to an improvement in oral health
Background: Populations with a diagnosis of serious mental illness (SMI) have a greater incidence of poorer oral health as compared the general population.
Participants and Methods: A total of 87 participants from outpatient mental wellness center in N.J. completed the study. Pre-test and post-test gingival and plaque indices were collected on all participants. Two groups received a battery toothbrush and two groups received a manual toothbrush. One of each of these received oral home care instructions. Additional data collected included smoking and a survey to assess level of negative symptoms.
Results: The study found that the battery operated toothbrush resulted in a significant improvement in the mean change in gingival index: F(1,86) = 4.52, p < .05, η2 = .05. The study also found that oral home care instructions, smoking and level of negative symptoms did not have an effect on the mean change in plaque or gingival indices.
Discussion: Collaboration between the oral health care provider and the mental health care provider is important in improving the oral health of the patient with a diagnosis of SMI. The implementation of a simple, cost effective measure such as a battery operated toothbrush can result in an improvement in oral health in this population.

▼ This study examines aspects of how dental therapy began and developed, since it was introduced as one of the first public health occupations in New Zealand, in 1921. Dental therapy began as dental nursing, and was introduced by visionary dentists in order to treat widespread dental disease within the New Zealand population. The occupation gained international recognition. Dental nurses performed their tasks under the direct supervision and direction of a public health dentist and the occupation was restricted to females and child-patients.
Investigating issues that have influenced the development of dental therapy is critical in today's climate. Background research in the thesis reveals an interplay of issues relating to gender, professional development and measures of how successful the occupation has been in relation to oral health need. The latter is particularly questionable for our indigenous people in New Zealand. How has the role of the dental therapist in New Zealand been utilised? Has the delivery of care been based on sound knowledge and dental need? Has the role progressed in order to provide effective and appropriate care within a publicly funded system? These issues are important issues, particularly when New Zealand's dental therapy profession becomes one of the many health professions that will be affected by the new Health Practitioners Competence Assurance Act when it is implented over the following year.
In order to improve oral health for the population, it is vital that the dental therapist is appropriately and effectively utilised. How oral health workers perceive the past role and future role in achieving oral health gain is investigated in this study by using interviews and postal surveys, and the results are discussed.
The findings show that the dental therapist has not always been utilised and developed using sound epidemiological evidence. Elements of professional protection by the dental profession coupled with depleted health funding rather than dental need have appeared as driving factors. Furthermore, the dental therapy profession has remained in a sub-ordinate role to the dental profession. The findings of this study show that a large number of the current dental therapy workforce do not feel that they are ready to provide dental care autonomously.
Information in the thesis argues that past legislation and subordination to the dental profession has largely affected the development of dental therapy, and whether this has always assisted in improving oral health for the New Zealand population is questioned in this work. With a depleted number in the workforce, the role has become focussed on a reparative form of care, not one that promotes and improves oral health. This is not acceptable in a publicly funded system.
Implementing changes to the dental therapy role must be undertaken, but undertaken with caution and based on progressive health-promoting ideology.

▼ Older adults visit their dentists at the lowest rate
of any age group. Regular
dental visits appear to peak in mid-life
and then decline dramatically by age 65. This qualitative study
sought to understand the barriers, facilitators, and misconceptions
that affect the utilization of
dental health services among older
adults. The results of this study, which involved 12 senior center
participants, found distinct misconceptions, barriers, and
facilitators to accessing
dental health
care. Misconceptions were
especially prevalent among participants with total tooth loss, but
also included participants whose outlook toward
dental care use was
misguided. Barriers to
dental care included costs of
dental care,
as well as ineffective office procedures to manage appointments. On
the other hand, some
dental office procedures were found to be
helpful and would be considered facilitators to
dental care. Other
facilitators were “lay consultants” who assist participants in
accessing
dental services, as well as
dental providers whose
educational efforts are consistent with the needs of the patients.
Implications highlight potential interventions to create better
access to
dental care for older adults.

▼ Background: Utilization of hospital emergency departments (EDs) for
dental complaints is increasing. Approximately 79% of
dental-related ED visits are for non-emergency conditions. Most visits are avoidable, and directing them to alternative settings could result in substantial savings to the United States health
care system. Methods: This retrospective cohort study assessed patient and
dental condition characteristics associated with presentation to a pediatric hospital ED versus urgent
care (UC) for after-hours non-emergency complaints from 2014 to 2016. Data were collected from the electronic medical records at Seattle Children’s Hospital from patients presenting from 5:00 pm to 10:30 pm Monday through Friday and 11:00 am to 8:00 pm on weekends and holidays. Logistic regression was performed to estimate adjusted odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals (CI) to assess the association of characteristics such as age, sex,
dental home, and triage acuity with presentation to the ED versus UC. Differences in types of medical and
dental services in the ED versus UC were compared using Chi-squared testing. Results: A total of 266 visits were assessed, 189 (71.0%) visits occurred in the ED, and 77 (29.0%) occurred in the UC. Children with a community clinic
dental home had a 4.05-fold increased odds of presenting to the ED compared to those with private practice
dental homes (95% CI 1.06 - 15.52). For every unit decrease in triage acuity there was a 91% lower odds of presenting to the ED (95% CI 0.04 – 0.19). More children in the ED received at least one medication (60% versus 26%, p<0.001), non-narcotic analgesics (36% and 20%, p=0.01), at least one prescription for medication (31% versus 15%, p=0.004), prescription for non-narcotic analgesics (10% and 2%, p=0.03), primary tooth extraction (37% versus 24%, p=0.04), and interim tooth restoration (12% versus 2%, p=0.01). Fewer children seen in the ED received definitive tooth restoration (0% versus 9%, p<0.001). Conclusions: Future strategies to reduce non-emergency
dental-related ED visits should focus on patient and provider education, especially at community clinic
dental offices, to triage and direct patients to low acuity venues such as UCs with
dental services.

▼ Dental hygienists are oral health professionals and providers who focus on providing primary oral
care for preventing and treating oral diseases to help the population maintain their oral health. However, no relevant law in Taiwan protects the rights of
dental hygienists. This study aimed to understand peopleâs views of the profession and willingness to establish
dental hygienist legislation in Taiwan and to explore related factors.
In this study, we collected a total of 356 questionnaires from the Taiwanese population, and we found 347 of these questionnaires to be valid after excluding invalid questionnaires. SPSS20.0 statistical software was used for statistical analysis. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent sample t test, one-way analysis of variance, Chi-square test, Pearson correlation analysis, multiple linear regression, and logistic regression.
The results showed that most of the participants were females (70.9%), with a mean age of 30.31 years. Of these participants, 57.3% were undergraduate level, 40.6% worked in health
care, 36.0% were residents of the south, 70.9% were unmarried, and 30.8% had an average monthly income of NT 40,000â59,999. The statistical analysis indicated the following results: (1) there was a significant positive correlation between attitude toward
dental hygienists and identification with
dental hygienist legislation; (2) the positive attitude toward the establishment of
dental hygienist legislation will affect peopleâs currently favor; and (3) most people have positive attitudes toward oral hygienist legislation and have high degree of recognition for
dental hygienistâs role and responsibility.
The study also found that participants currently working in
dental-related industries would be more supportive of the establishment of
dental hygienist laws or regulations. Additionally, most of the participants agreed that oral hygienists should implement
dental assistance, oral health
care and oral hygiene education.
Dental hygienists can not only assist dentists as part of the
dental team but can also provide better medical quality and efficiency. We hope that the government will address the issue of
dental hygienist legislation and thereby assist
dental hygienists in bringing their professional skills and abilities into full play.

▼ Oral disease continues to be a significant issue across the United States and throughout the world. Oral disease is multifactorial and links to general health. Poor oral hygiene is associated with a lack of education and low socioeconomic status. A literature review was conducted to determine the issues related to oral disease, access to quality dental care, and the implementation of a midlevel dental provider being a solution to improve these issues. The research was gathered from peer-reviewed literature. There are no articles used that are older than seven years, except for historical data. The results of the studies support the need for a midlevel dental provider, especially in communities of low socioeconomic status and the uninsured. The limitations include the research completed, populations used in the research studies, statistical testing, and the outcomes of the studies. The populations chosen in the research studies were mainly of the disadvantaged and underserved. These groups of people are associated with low socioeconomic status, lack of education, lack of medical and dental insurance. Based on the findings, this literature review shows the benefit of a midlevel dental provider and how the implementation of this profession across the United States could positively impact oral health care and improve oral health disparities.

▼ AbstractDental hygiene has long been a female
dominated profession with low gender diversity and no significant
increases in male
dental hygienist students in decades. Yet
evidence shows how diversity can enrich the educational experience
and curricula can best be taught in a richly diverse intellectual
and social environment.1 It is time that we start to look at
barriers to men in the profession, so in the future we can break
down these barriers and increase the gender diversity of the
dental
hygiene profession. This study is meant to explore and identify
barriers that may limit males from entering undergraduate
dental
hygiene programs while also determining whether females and males
opinions differ on whether these barriers exist. This was achieved
by interviewing male and female first year undergraduate
dental
hygiene students through the examination of their thoughts,
perceptions, and experiences of the
dental hygiene profession both
before and after they entered their
dental hygiene programs.
Interviews of 5 male students and 4 female students were
transcribed and analyzed to show if any comparisons could be made.
Differences between male and female participant’s responses were
evident in the interviewing process, specifically in the male
student’s experiences before and after they entered their
dental
hygiene programs. It is through these differences and perceptions
of the
dental hygiene profession by male students in the study that
we can begin to understand what barriers men face entering
dental
hygiene. Barriers such as female imagery in the profession,
stereotypes, public perception, gender discrimination, lack of male
role models, isolation in their program, visibility within their
program, fear of the unknown, and history of female dominance in
the profession can all be identified throughout the interviews.
More research is required to confirm or deny that these barriers
exist and whether they have an impact on male undergraduate
students and their entry into
dental hygiene
programs.

▼ Objective: To explore the changes in the accessibility of dental services among middle-class Canadians in response to recent changes in the labour market and the increasing costs of dental plans. Methods: Secondary analyses of all Canadian surveys that collected information on dental insurance, utilization and out-of-pocket expenditures were conducted. Descriptive analyses were used to identify and compare trends among middle-class against the Canadian average. Results: Since 1996, the number of insured middle-class grew from 43% to 48%, with the number perceiving cost-barriers to dental care increasing by 2.7 times. In 2009, 30% of middle-class visited a dentist only when emergency happened. Since 1978, fewer middle-income households spent out-of-pocket on dental care, while per capita costs per household spending increased. Compared to national average, middle-class trends implied to poorer access. Conclusions: Access to dental care issues might be ascending from lower income sectors to involve middle-income earners as well.

▼ ABSTRACT Background and Objectives. Oral health is an integral part of maintaining the overall health of every individual and therefore an essential component of primary health care for older adults. Oral health service utilization is multifactorial and financial support plays an important part in determining the degree of oral care received. Past studies report a strong association between dental insurance coverage and dental service utilization by the elderly population. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a reduction in dental insurance for enrolled nursing home residents under Minnesota's Medicaid plan in 2010. As part of research hypothesis, it was theorized that Minnesota's Medicaid budget cuts, which took effect in January 2010, resulted in a reduced utilization of basic dental services among nursing home residents. Material and Methods.For this study, a retrospective cross sectional survey method was employed and data were collected from the dental practice software systems used in University of Minnesota's two community-based dental clinics for older adults. The Experimental Group included subjects above 55 years, who were nursing home residents and had dental visits between January 2009 and December 2010 and had any type of Medicaid dental coverage. The Comparison Group included subjects above 55 years of age who were nursing home residents and had dental visits and did not have any Medicaid dental insurance for the same time period. Outcome variables analyzed were dental services provided for MA and non-MA groups in three categories depending upon the changes that occurred after the 2010 Minnesota Medicaid cutbacks. These were: 1) non-impacted, services; 2) reduced services; or 3) eliminated services. Summary dental utilization measures such as overall visits, overall services, as well as visits per patient per year and services per patient per year were also analyzed. Results: For the Experimental (MA) group, no or marginally statistically significant differences were found from 2009 to 2010 in overall dental visits and overall services, although large and statistically significant increases were found in overall visits and services provided for the Comparison (non-MA) group in 2010 versus 2009. No statistically significant differences were found in both MA and non-MA groups for total visits per patient and total services per patient from 2009 to 2010. For those dental services unaffected by the 2010 Minnesota MA benefit changes, no statistically significant changes occurred from 2009 to 2010 for either the MA or non-MA groups. However, large and statistically significant reductions were found from 2009 to 2010 for dental services that were reduced in coverage in the 2010 Minnesota MA dental benefit cutbacks, and extremely large reductions were found for eliminated services in 2010. These reductions in reduced or eliminated dental services during 2010 occurred in both the Experimental (MA) and Comparison (non-MA) Groups. Conclusion. While the overall process of care in these two…

▼ Oral
care is often dismissed or undervalued in the overall health and wellness of individuals and can be detrimental to patients in hospital-like settings. Although
dental hygienists are educated to practice in alternative practice settings like pediatric offices, hospitals, nursing homes, schools and federally qualified health centers they are underutilized in such arenas. The purpose of this study is to learn about the University of New Mexico Hospital’s (UNMH) current oral hygiene
care practices and protocols, nurses’ values and interests in inter-professional collaboration with a
dental hygienist.
A feedback survey was created and intended recipients included all UNMH nurses regardless of specialty unit. However, this survey was disseminated to 240 UNMH Intensive
Care Unit nurses. Of the 240 nurses only 28 (11.6%) opted to participate in this survey study. The result of this study revealed the majority of nurses: value oral hygiene
care in themselves and in their patients; report their nursing education did prepare them in performing oral hygiene
care on patients; interested in inter-professional collaboration with a
dental provider like a
dental hygienist.

▼ The purpose of this study was to investigate the
perceived need, according to
dental practitioners, for anesthesia
providers in dentistry. This was accomplished through surveying a
population of
dental practitioners who currently practice within
the State of Ohio. The data was used to evaluate the sectors of
dentistry which may benefit the most from utilization of
anesthesiology services. We found that the respondents to our
survey felt there was a need for anesthesia services for their
patient population. We measured perceived need for anesthesia
services in two ways. “Practitioner Need” measured those dentists
who either currently utilize the services of an anesthesia provider
or would consider using the services of an anesthesia provider.
“Patient Need” measured the frequency of those dentists who have
patients who could benefit from dentistry performed while also
receiving general anesthesia. We found that 46.1% of dentists had a
“Practitoner Need”, and that 71.0% of dentists had a “Patient
Need”. “Unmet Need”, measured by cross-referencing those dentists
who did not intend to use an anesthesia provider with those
dentists who felt they had patients who could benefit from
anesthesia services, was found to be 34.4%. To better understand
the needs of the
dental community, we analyzed the responses with
reference to the area of dentistry in which the respondents
practiced. Our analysis showed that there is clearly a need for
anesthesiology services to be provided to the
dental community in
the State of Ohio, and there seemed to be some reluctance among the
general
dental practitioners population to utilize the services of
anesthesia providers.
Dental practitioners themselves have
recognized the need for anesthesia providers to aid in treating
their patients, be they fearful, anxious, medically compromised,
special needs, and/or “high maintenance”. Increased knowledge and
awareness of the field of anesthesiology in dentistry must be a
priority in order to facilitate integration of anesthesia providers
into private practice.

▼ Objectives: To provide a costing framework for and to cost a publicly financed dental program for low-income uninsured Ontarians. Methods: The costing framework includes: 1. Specifying the terms for examining costs; 2. Describing the service baskets; and 3. Identifying resources for program delivery; measuring resource utilization; and attaching a monetary value to resources and services; and 4. Including additional costs. The robustness of the estimates was assessed using sensitivity analyses. Demographic and insurance data were sourced from national surveys. Utilization and expenditure data were sourced from existing local public programs. Results: Eleven of 36 public health units provided data. The cost of providing dental care to uninsured low-income Ontarians was 262 million per year. The cost was 299 million when including additional services for adults. Conclusions: While this study provides the approximate costs of a publicly funded program for uninsured low-income Ontarians, the lack of outcome data prevents a complete cost-effectiveness analysis.

Management in dental health care
Predmet istraživanja u ovoj tezi je izvrsna usluga
u stomatološkoj praksi. Kako je definisati, kako je modelirati,
kako razviti model organizacije stomatološke zdravstvene zaštite,
čija usluga će imati ove karakteristike. Sve ove aspekte treba
razmatrati kao model koga treba primeniti u Srbiji, gde se ovim
pitanjima u poslednjih nekoliko godina pridaje posebna pažnja, ali
ne za ovu oblast, već za neke druge grane medicine. Iz tih razloga
ova istraživanja imaju poseban značaj. Osnovni cilj ovih
istraživanja je da se razvije model za izvrsnu stomatološku
organizaciju koja će sama od sebe da generiše izvrsnu stomatološku
uslugu. Danas imamo razvijene modele organizacija koje upravljaju
kvalitetom svog biznisa primenjujući modele poslovne izvrsnosti.
Naravno, ovde se radi o organizacijama koje generišu proizvode ili
usluge svetske klase kvaliteta. Zato je sekundarni cilj ovih
istraživanja da se na bazi iskustva iz razvijenih zemalja, izvrši
ocena dostigntog nivoa upravljnja kvalitetom u SZZ u našoj zemlji,
pa da se na bazi toga projektuje model izvrsne stomatološke

▼ Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory infection caused by the overgrowth of bacteria harbored in tooth-retained plaque. It is estimated to affect 50% of American adults over 30, with an increased incidence of up to 70% for those over 65. The disease is characterized by the destruction of the periodontal tissues, including the periodontal ligament (PDL), root cementum, and alveolar bone. As the PDL provides tooth anchorage by connecting the root cementum to the alveolar bone, damage to this tissue results in a loss of integration with the surrounding bone and cementum, eventually leading to complete tooth detachment. This is the primary reason for tooth extractions and/or loss. Current treatments for periodontitis fail to achieve consistent PDL regeneration and integration of soft and hard tissues, thus alternative approaches are needed to improve long term outcomes. This thesis focuses on the development of a biomimetic, fiber-based, polymer composite scaffold that will enable the regeneration and integration of the hard and soft tissues comprising the periodontium, while also controlling residual infection at the wound site. This work is guided by the hypothesis that a multi-phased scaffold optimized in structure and composition to promote tissue regeneration and integration, as well as control the presence of pathogenic organisms, will augment integrative periodontal healing.
The first aim of this thesis investigated scaffold design parameters for ligament regeneration, exploring polymer chemistry, fiber alignment, and antibiotic dose for the support of PDL cell growth and matrix biosynthesis. In addition, the efficacy of antibiotic-containing scaffolds in controlling the growth of periodontal pathogens was evaluated. With the overarching goal of supporting hard tissue integration, aim two optimized scaffold fiber diameter, mineral composition and dose, as well as method of mineral incorporation in order to promote PDL cell viability, growth, differentiation, and mineralized matrix deposition. In the third aim of this thesis a composite scaffold was fabricated, combining the optimized elements from the previous two aims into a multi-phased system that is mimetic of the native periodontal structure. The composite scaffold was then evaluated for tissue healing as well as for integrative potential with native tissue in a tooth-in-bone explant model. Collectively, the results of this thesis demonstrates that a scaffold with optimal structure and composition for PDL growth and integration supports enhanced periodontal healing as assessed through functional evaluation and tissue biosynthesis.
In summary, the studies in this thesis led to the development of a novel, anti-infective, multi-phased scaffold which promotes integrative periodontal ligament healing. The broader implications of this work, which includes the elucidation of cell-biomaterial interactions and the implementation of complex scaffold design strategies, can be extended toward the integrative and functional repair of other composite tissue…

▼ Background
Oral health-related quality of
life (OHRQoL) is an abstract concept which cannot be directly
observed. Measurement instruments have been developed and
constructed to assess it. Conventional methods in evaluating
psychometric properties are common yet involve unrealistic
assumptions. Item response theory (IRT) relaxes these assumptions
and enables assessment of additional measurement properties. This
study aimed to assess additional measurement properties of two
8-item short forms of Child Perceptions Questionnaire (CPQ11-14
RSF:8 and ISF:8) using IRT. The study also explored factors
associated with OHRQoL in the 12 years old children and the change
over 3 years by IRT explanatory analysis.
Methods
In the
baseline survey, 668 children aged at 12 were recruited and 436
(65.3%) were followed up successfully after 3 years. Data on the
CPQ11-14 RSF:8 and ISF:8, demographics, oral health behavior and
status were collected. Before assessing the measurement properties,
the assumptions of unidimensionality and local dependency were
tested. The data were then fitted using the graded response model
(GRM) to obtain the estimates of the discriminatory parameters,
threshold parameters and information functions. Thereafter, the
equality of discriminatory parameters across items and the equality
of test information functions between the 2 short forms were
tested. Differential item functioning (DIF) across gender and the
longitudinal invariance were also assessed. Explanatory GRM was
fitted to the CPQ11-14 data. The Bayesian estimation method – MCMC
with Gibbs sampling was adopted for parameter estimation and the
credible intervals were obtained.
Results
After confirmation
of unidimensionality, both short forms were found to distinguish
people with poor OHRQoL well, but not for people with good OHRQoL.
Items related to oral symptoms were not informative to OHRQoL.
Discriminatory parameters were found unequal across items and RSF:8
did not provide a significantly more precise OHRQoL estimate than
ISF:8. Three items had DIF across gender but the bias induced to
the scale was minimal. Four items lacked longitudinal invariance:
three items from the domains of emotional and social well-being and
the other one from the domain of functional limitation. Since items
concerning oral symptoms were not informative, these items were
removed, resulting in RSF:6 and ISF:6. The 6-item versions and
8-item versions were almost identical in terms of measurement
precision of OHRQoL. For the 12 years old children, healthier oral
health behavior, better gum status, families with both parents
employed, higher father’s education level and lower mother’s
education level were found to be associated with better OHRQoL.
With statistical adjustment of longitudinal invariance, OHRQoL
level in general has improved over 3 years but no predictor was
associated with OHRQoL in follow-up. For those with decreased
family income, their OHRQoL had worsened over 3 years.
Conclusions
This study illustrates the use of IRT validation on
the 8-item…

▼ Background: The control and management of
dental caries highly depends on people’s adoption of healthy
behaviors. Prevailing health education (PE) usually fails to
promote sustained behavioral changes. Motivational interviewing
(MI) is a collaborative conversational style for strengthening
one’s own motivation and commitment to change and has great
potential to change health behaviors.
Objectives: This
single-blinded randomized controlled trial investigated the
effectiveness of PE, MI, and MI coupled with interactive caries
risk assessment (RA) in improving adolescents’ oral health
self-efficacy and behaviors and preventing
dental caries.
Methods: Fifteen secondary schools were randomly assigned to three
groups: (I) PE, (II) MI, and (III) MI+RA. Adolescents aged 12-13
years with unfavorable oral health behavior (“toothbrushing less
often than twice a day” AND/OR “snacking three times or more a
day”) were eligible to participate. A total of 512 adolescents were
recruited; 161, 163 and 188 in Groups I-III respectively. Group I
received oral health talks and pamphlets. Each participant in Group
II joined a one-on-one, face-to-face MI session with a
dental
hygienist. In Group III, RA was incorporated to facilitate the MI
session. At baseline and after 6, 12, and 24 months, questionnaires
were completed to collect information on participants’
sociodemographic background, oral health self-efficacy and
behaviors, and
dental visits. Participants’ oral hygiene and tooth
status were recorded using the Silness-Löe Plaque Index and the
International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS).
Intention-to-treat analyses were performed. Generalized linear
mixed model was used to account for clustering effect.
Results:
There was no significant among-group difference in the
sociodemographic, behavioral or clinical variables except for
gender, at baseline. After 6, 12 and 24 months, 492 (96.1%), 482
(94.1%) and 460 (89.8%) participants were followed up. At the
24-month follow-up, comparisons with Group I showed that (i) Group
II had higher likelihood to change negative self-efficacy in
controlling snacking [OR (95% CI): 3.63 (1.02-12.94); p=0.048],
whereas the change of negative self-efficacy in brushing was more
likely in Group II [OR (95% CI): 4.65 (1.86-11.63)] and Group III
[OR (95% CI): 4.30 (1.74-10.64)]; (ii) restriction of frequent
snacking was more likely in Group II [OR(95% CI): 3.91
(1.48-10.33)] and Group III [OR(95% CI): 6.33 (2.46-16.27)],
whereas participants in Group III were more likely to adopt the
behavior of brushing twice a day [OR (95% CI) of 4.80
(1.79-12.85)]; (iii) there was no significant difference in plaque
score reduction across three groups (p>0.05); and (iv) Groups II
and III developed fewer cavitated carious teeth (△DICDASII 3-6MFT)
[β (95% CIs): -0.19 (-0.37, -0.01) and -0.20 (-0.38, -0.02)
respectively], whereas increment of teeth with caries experience
(△DICDASII 1-6MFT) was lower in Group III [β (95% CI): -0.63(-1.24,
-0.02)]. The 6- and 12-month results showed similar trends.

▼ Background: More than 10% of UK adults suffer extreme dental anxiety. Effective verbal and non-verbal communication (VNVC) in the dental dyad following handover of a completed Modified Dental Anxiety Scale (MDAS) had been hypothesised to reduce dental state anxiety. This study aims to consider whether: (1) ‘MDAS completion and handover effects long term dental trait anxiety, and (2) ‘what VNVC elements influence patient anxiety reduction?’ Trial Design: Mixed methods: (i) a randomised cross-over study and (ii) an observational study. Methods: Six NHS Highland Salaried Dental Practices were randomised to start either with the experimental arm, where dentally anxious patients (MDAS score = 19 or 5 in any one question) complete and handover MDAS to the dentist, or the control arm where no handover occurred. Within the observational study, all participants had their dental treatment appointment videoed. The primary outcome was dental trait anxiety as measured by MDAS, pre-treatment and at 3 month follow-up. Secondary outcome was dental state anxiety, measured pre and post treatment using both the Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-S) and Heart rate.The observational study analysed the first 2 minutes of video and related this data to the behavioural and affective outcomes. Results: 54 patients agreed to take part in the study with 47 completing 3 month follow-up. The randomised cross-over study found no difference in state or trait dental anxiety however observational outcomes showed dental state anxiety remained high when handover was blocked. A significant lack in decline in dental trait anxiety was shown when dentists blocked patient expressed cues and concerns; this occurred irrespective of patient gender, age or number of appointments received in a 3 month period (F[155.06]=7.51, P=0.009). Conclusions: VNVC flow is fundamental to dyadic balance even within the first two minutes of the patient-dentist interaction. The balanced dyad is key to dental anxiety reduction.

▼ Akuutin lymfoblastisen leukemian (ALL) hoito aiheuttaa monenlaisia ongelmia suun alueella. Syöpähoitojen aiheuttama kivulias mukosiitti vaikeuttaa hampaiden harjaamista, ja huonovointisuus ja ruokahalun heikkeneminen muuttavat ruokavaliota kariogeenisempaan suuntaan. Lisäksi syljeneritys vähenee. Nämä yhdessä johtavat reikiintymisriskin kohoamiseen. Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli kartoittaa lasten suun terveydentilaa ennen hoitoja, hoitojen aikana ja niiden jälkeen. Tutkimuksessa selvitettiin myös, miten hammashoito toteutui.
Aineiston muodostivat vuosien 2005-2008 aikana alle 10-vuotiaana ALL:an sairastuneet lapset, joita hoidettiin HYKS Lastenklinikalla. Näitä potilaita oli yhteensä 50. Potilasasiakirjoista rekisteröitiin tarvittavat tiedot sairauskertomusten perusteella.
Tutkimuksemme osoitti, että 77%:lla niistä potilaista, joilla ei ollut alkutarkastuksessa kariesta, ei ollut myöskään lopputarkastuksessa kariesta. Kariesriski näyttäisi olevan niillä lapsilla pienempi, joilla ei ennen syöpähoitojen alkamista esiinny kariesta. Aineiston potilaiden hammasterveydessä ei ollut suurta eroa yleisesti suomalaislasten hammasterveyteen. Hyvä lähtötilanne suun terveydessä suojaa myös hoitojen aiheuttamilta haasteilta. Huomion arvoista on myös se, että 20%:lla potilaista alkutarkastus jäi tekemättä. Tulos suuresta tarkastamattomien osuudesta johti siihen, että epäkohtaan on jo puututtu.

▼ Purpose: The study investigated if viewing a simulated
dental exam on virtual reality glasses between two visits would desensitize participants with autism spectrum disorder to the
dental environment and improve their anxiety and behavior.
Methods: This randomized prospective cohort study compared behavior between a Control Group and Experimental Group who wore the glasses between visits. Blinded raters watched video recordings of participants and assessed behavior using the Venham scale. Heart rate and post-visit questionnaires completed by guardians were also analyzed.
Results: Five subjects were enrolled (two in the Control and three in the Experimental groups). The median heart rate at visit one was 61 and reduced to 55 for visit two. The maximum heart rate was always observed in the waiting room (n=10, 100%). Raters agreed on anxiety scores for 10% of visits and 80% for behavior scores (k=0.2, 0.5 respectively). Guardians that completed the post-study surveys agreed (n=3, 100%) the glasses were easy to use, enjoyed by the child, and improved anxiety and cooperation at visit two.
Conclusion: Although not statistically significant, median heart rate deceased and behavior stayed the same or improved at the second visit in both groups. The maximum heart rate was observed in the waiting room at each visit. Post-visit questionnaires demonstrated high guardian satisfaction with the virtual reality simulation and they felt their child’s anxiety and behavior improved at the second visit.

▼ Background: This study was built on a previous Australian randomized controlled trial. Intervention practices in the trial were provided with evidence-based preventive protocols to guide their treatment of dental caries. During that trial, the numbers of decayed, missing and filled teeth were monitored. Outcomes in the intervention practices varied widely; this qualitative study was designed to explain how dentists, their teams and patients adopted evidence-based preventive care in practice. Methods: 40 participants (10 dentists, 2 hygienists, 9 dental assistants, 2 practice managers and 17 patients) were interviewed about their experience and work processes. Analysis involved transcript coding, detailed memo writing, and data interpretation. Results: Dentists and their teams talked about a process of slowly adapting their practices towards preventive care. Dentists spoke spontaneously about two “assumptions” or “rules” underpinning continued restorative treatment. They said that these assumptions were deeply held, and acted as a barrier to provide preventive care: 1) dentists believed that some patients were too “unreliable” to benefit from prevention; and 2) dentists believed that patients thought that only tangible restorative treatment offered “value for money”. Dentists also described other factors that could hinder prevention: in particular, having an historical restorative background and being “focused on cutting cavities fast and well”. On the positive side, successful adaptation was possible (1) when the dentist-in-charge brought the whole dental team together – including other dentists – and got everyone interested and actively participating during preventive activities; (2) when the physical environment of the practice was re-organized around preventive activities, (3) when the dental team was able to devise new and efficient routines to accommodate preventive activities, and (4) when the fee schedule was amended to cover the delivery of preventive services, which hitherto was considered as “unproductive time”. Whether or not they were able to adapt, all dentists trusted the concrete clinical evidence that they had produced themselves, that is, seeing results in their patients mouths made them believe in a specific treatment approach. Patients talked about their experience of dental care, particularly about the relationship between patients and dentists during the provision of preventive care and advice in general dental practices. Historical, biological, financial, psychosocial and habitual dimensions of patients’ experience of dental care and self-care were revealed. Participants were amazed by their new experience of dental care without “drilling and filling” teeth and characterised dentists as either “old-school” or “new-school” based on the treatment options provided and the clinical relationship offered. Conclusion: Translating evidence into dental practice entailed a slow and complex adaptation process, requiring more than the removal of barriers. The findings suggest that dentists should…

▼ The purpose of this prospective, randomized,
double-blind study was to compare the anesthetic efficacy of 1.8 mL
of 4% articaine with 1:100,000 epinephrine to 1.8 mL 4% articaine
with 1:200,000 epinephrine in mandibular buccal infiltration
injections given next to the first molar. Using a cross-over
design, 86 adult subjects (43 males and 43 females) randomly
received two primary buccal mandibular infiltration injections
given next to the first molar of 1.8 mL of 4% articaine with
1:100,000 epinephrine and 1.8 ml of 4% articaine with 1:200,000
epinephrine, in two separate appointments, spaced at least one week
apart. The second molar through the first premolar were tested with
an electric pulp tester every 3 minutes for a total of 60 minutes.
The pain of injection and any postoperative discomfort over the
next three days was rated by the subjects on a Heft-Parker visual
analogue scale.Statistical analysis found no significant
differences between the test solutions in frequency of pulpal
anesthesia (80/80 readings) for any of the teeth tested. Anesthetic
success was determined using three definitions of success. Success1 was defined as achieving the first of two consecutive 80/80
readings by the third testing cycle (7 minutes for molars and 8
minutes for premolars) and maintaining the 80/80 readings
throughout the testing period (60 minutes). Success #2 was defined
as achieving the first of two consecutive 80/80 readings by the
third testing cycle and sustaining this reading continuously for 60
minutes. This definition excluded subjects that experienced
non-continuous anesthesia. Success #3 was defined as the occurrence
of two consecutive 80/80 readings at any time during the testing
period. There were no statistically significant differences between
the two solutions using Success #1, Success #2 or Success #3 for
any of the teeth tested. The two solutions showed no statistically
significant differences for any tooth when comparing onset of
pulpal anesthesia, failure, short duration of anesthesia, slow
onset of anesthesia and non-continuous anesthesia. No significant
difference in pain intensity existed between the two solutions for
needle insertion, needle placement, or anesthetic deposition.
Comparisons of mean post-operative pain ratings revealed no
significant differences at the cessation of anesthesia or for any
of the post-operative days.In conclusion, the anesthetic efficacy
of 4% articaine with 1:200,000 epinephrine is comparable to 4%
articaine with 1:100,000 epinephrine in a single primary mandibular
buccal infiltration injection given next to the first
molar.

▼ Background: Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) affects
premature infants who require oxygen therapy at birth. According to
The National Heart, Lung, and Blood institute these children have a
gestational age of thirty-six weeks or less and weigh less than two
pounds at birth. There has been a significant increase (36%) in the
incidence of premature births over the past two decades.
Accompanying this increase are fundamental shifts in neonatology
therapies such as; short-term intubation and more efficient
delivery of surfactant. There have been studies associating
prematurity with defects in dento-alveolar complex development
including; structural palatal defects, disruptions in amelogenesis,
disruptions in eruption and caries risk. Objective: To assess
incidence of dento-alveolar defects in subjects with a history of
BPD compared to controls. Methods: This case-cohort study was IRB
approved. Subjects were recruited from an urban hospital BPD and
Dental clinic. All patients were between 12-36 months of age. A
complete
dental exam was completed. Results: Data were collected
from 53 children (25 BPD subjects and 28 control subjects). The BPD
subjects were significantly younger (p<0.008). The BPD subjects
had significantly lower gestational ages (p<0.0001). Control
subjects had a greater incidence of first
dental visit history
(p=0.038). The BPD subjects had more hypoplastic teeth (p=0.002).
Conclusion: BPD was not associated with significant defects in
dento-alveolar development.

▼ Dietary and microbial factors were evaluated in 21
healthy subjects and 21 subjects with severe
dental caries. An
interview-based 24-hour multiple-pass recall questionnaire was used
to record dietary information. Supragingival plaque was collected
from healthy teeth and carious lesions. The bacteria were
identified and quantified using an unbiased genetic technique.
Analysis of the dietary questionnaire revealed that the exposure
time of carbohydrates on the teeth was significantly different
between the groups; exposure time also correlated with caries
increment. There were no significant differences between percent
RDI calories, total carbohydrates, or body mass index. Analysis of
the bacterial profiles in plaque showed that the most significantly
disease-associated bacteria are <i>Streptococcus
mutans</i>, Lactobacillus species, and Veillonella species.
The significantly health-associated species are
<i>Streptococcus mitis</i>,
<i>infantis</i>, <i>pneumoniae</i>, and
<i>oralis</i>. This study shows that eating behavior
may be the most significant contributor to
dental caries, which
involves many different species.
