Patient-, organization-, and system-level barriers and facilitators to preventive oral health care:A convergent mixed-methods study in primary dental care

Background: Dental caries is the most common chronic disease of adult and childhood, a largely preventable yet widespread, costly public health problem. This study identified patient-, organization-, and system-level factors influencing routine delivery of recommended care for prevention and management of caries in primary dental care. Methods: A convergent mixed-methods design assessed six guidance-recommended behaviours to prevent and manage caries (recording risk, risk-based recall intervals, applying fluoride varnish, placing preventive fissure sealants, demonstrating oral health maintenance, taking dental x-rays). A diagnostic questionnaire assessing current practice, beliefs, and practice characteristics was sent to a random sample of 651 dentists in National Health Service (NHS) Scotland. Eight in-depth case studies comprising observation of routine dental visits and dental team member interviews were conducted. Patient feedback was collected from adult patients with recent checkups at case study practices. Key informant interviews were conducted with decision makers in policy, funding, education, and regulation. The Theoretical Domains Framework within the Behaviour Change Wheel was used to identify and describe patient-, organization-, and system-level barriers and facilitators to care. Findings were merged into a matrix describing theoretical domains salient to each behaviour. The matrix and Behaviour Change Wheel were used to prioritize behaviours for change and plan relevant intervention strategies. Results: Theoretical domains associated with best practice were identified from the questionnaire (N-196), case studies (N = 8 practices, 29 interviews), and patient feedback (N = 19). Using the study matrix, key stakeholders identified priority behaviours (use of preventive fissure sealants among 6–12-year-olds) and strategies (audit and feedback, patient informational campaign) to improve guidance implementation. Proposed strategies were assessed as appropriate for immediate implementation and suitable for development with remaining behaviours. Conclusions: Specific, theoretically based, testable interventions to improve caries prevention and management were coproduced by patient-, practice-, and policy-level stakeholders. Findings emphasize duality of behavioural determinants as barriers and facilitators, patient influence on preventive care delivery, and benefits of integrating multi-level interests when planning interventions in a dynamic, resource-constrained environment. Interventions identified in this study are actively being used to support ongoing implementation initiatives including guidance, professional development, and oral health promotion

Does oral health influence school performance and school attendance? A systematic review and meta-analysis.

AIM: To examine the evidence on the influence of oral health status on school performance and school attendance in children and adolescents. DESIGN: A systematic review was performed in accordance with PRISMA included epidemiological studies that assessed concomitantly oral health measures, participants' school performance and/or school attendance. Electronic search was conducted on MEDLINE, SCOPUS, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, and LILACS. Studies published up to May 2018 in any language were eligible. The risk of bias was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. Meta-analysis was used to obtain pooled estimates between oral health measures and school performance and school attendance. RESULTS: Eighteen studies were included. Of them, fifteen studies were used for the meta-analyses. Most studies were assessed as moderate quality. Children with one or more decayed teeth had higher probability of poor school performance (OR = 1.44 95%CI: 1.24-1.64) and poor school attendance (OR = 1.57 95%CI: 1.08-2.05) than caries-free children. Poor parent's perception of child's oral health increased the odds of worse school performance (OR = 1.51 95%CI: 1.10-1.92) and poor school attendance (OR = 1.35 95%CI: 1.14-1.57). CONCLUSIONS: Children and adolescents with dental caries and those reporting worse oral health experience poor school performance and poor school attendance

O potencial impacto financeiro dos problemas bucais na família de pré-escolares

Resumo O objetivo do estudo foi avaliar a percepção dos pais/responsáveis quanto ao impacto financeiro dos problemas de saúde bucal na família de pré-escolares. Um estudo transversal, foi realizado com 834 crianças pré-escolares, em Campina Grande, Brasil. Pais/responsáveis responderam ao Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale (B-ECOHIS). O item “impacto financeiro” foi a variável dependente. Questionários de variáveis sociodemográficas, histórico de dor de dente e percepções de saúde foram administrados. Os exames clínicos foram realizados por três dentistas previamente calibrados (Kappa: 0.85-0.90). Estatística descritiva foi realizada, seguida de regressão logística para amostras complexas (α = 5%). A frequência de impacto financeiro devido a problemas de saúde bucal em pré-escolares foi de 7,7%. As seguintes variáveis foram significativamente associadas com o impacto financeiro: percepção ruim dos pais sobre saúde bucal, a interação entre histórico de dor de dente e ausência de cárie dentária e interação entre histórico de dor de dente e presença de cárie dentária. Pode-se concluir que na maioria das vezes os pais/responsáveis relatam impacto financeiro em decorrência da procura por tratamento tardio, principalmente pela presença de dor e complicações no quadro clínico

Internal Resorption Management Using Hybrid Irrigation with bioceramics: A Report of Three Cases

Three-dimensional sealing and disinfecting is a very difficult challenge in the canals affected by internal resorption. Hybrid irrigation is a method that takes advantage of both ultrasonic / sonic activations, which has previously proven effective in cleaning the root canals. Also, modern biological materials are suitable to seal these canals.</jats:p
