Abstract:

Dental records must comply with National Standard of Dentistry, Medical Record must contain data that identity of the patient, patient's general condition, odontogram, dental care data and the name and signature of the dentist and dental records are more important filled completely. This study aim to know the knowledge of all dentists in Padang to dentall record. The design of this study is Descriptive. The populations in this study were all dentists who working in health centers and hospitals of Padang. The sampling technique is Total Sampling and data collection through questionnaires and observation of dental records. The results showed that the rate of the level of knowledge about the importance of dentall record low according to national standards where knowledge about medikolegal aspects is the subject to a level of knowledge is low, reaching only 4.2%. Knowledge of dentists about the medical records dental national standards is low because of the lock of socialization and conducted a related-party factor. It could be need to socialization and provide the policy of dental record based on national standard for all dentists.

Abstract:

AbstractThe third and last of the successful Alliance for a Cavity-Free Future (ACFF)/King's College London Dental Policy Lab series, held in 2019, focused on outlining how dental and oral health industries could benefit from enabling positive behaviour change in patients and the public, allowing progress towards caries reduction. During a two-day event, experts from across public health, dentists, global multi-national corporations and dental industry start-ups discussed the issue, collaboratively developing ideas around policy, technology, messaging and engagement for change. An analysis of the current trends in oral health laid out how the implications for industry and corporate social responsibility were identified as crucial. The report and accompanying infographic explored in this paper have been well received and acted as a catalyst for future developments in the area.

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to estimate the changes of dental caries status among Thai adults and elderly under the different policy options using system dynamics modeling. Design/methodology/approach A multi-sector system dynamics model was developed to capture the dynamic interrelationship between dental caries status changes and oral health behavior – including self-care, dental care utilization and sugar consumption. Data used to populate the model was obtained from the Thai national oral health survey in 2000, 2006, 2012 and Thailand Official Statistics Registration. Three policy scenarios were experimented in the model: health promotion policy, dental personnel policy and affordable dental care service policy. Findings Dental caries experiences among Thai adults and elderly were projected to increase from now to 2040, as the elderly population increases. Among all policies experimented herein, the combined policies of health promotion, increased affordability and capacity of dental health service were found to produce the highest improvement in dental caries status with 3.7 percent reduction of population with high decayed, missing and filled teeth (DMFT) and 5.2 percent increase in population with very low DMFT. Originality/value This study is the first comprehensive simulation model that attempts to explore the dynamic interrelationship among dental caries experiences and behavioral factors that impact on oral health outcomes. In addition, the simulation model herein offers a framework for policy experimentation that provides policymakers with additional insights to inform health policy planning.

Abstract:

Dental care is one of the most popular and market-oriented type of care provided to the population. It is developing rapidly, offering advanced medical technologies on the market. But some issues such as market competition in the health services sector, social partnership in dental services delivery to the population are not fully considered. There are some difficulties in analyzing dental market in Ukraine due to the presence of some problems: lack of official information about amount of dental services; incomplete coverage of information about production of dental services by statistics; a large part of the market for dental services are individuals – entrepreneurs, who are not obliged to publicly information about their commercial results (much of the producers in dentistry (at least 50 %) is in the shadow sector). The aim of the article is to investigate the current state of price aspects of the market of dental services in Ukraine. The article identifies the main problems in the market of dental services in Ukraine, the characteristics of medical services and factors that affect the formation of prices for these services, and also the aspects that consumers are guided with in choosing a medical institution in today’s competitive environment. In paper we analyzed price and non-price factors of demand for dental services, compared prices for dental services in private and public institutions, calculated their average value. Using standard deviation, we calculated how significant are the differences in prices for dental services within the industry. The cost of dental treatment in Ukraine depends on many factors: the orientation of the clinic, its form of ownership, popularity and competence of specialists. After performing the analysis, we saw that the prices for the same service differ significantly and vary depending on the company. Therefore, the dental market is characterized by the emergence of a large number of private dental institutions, where prices range significantly. In these conditions, the issues of modern management and marketing in dentistry have become especially relevant. To ensure the effective functioning of all subjects of the dental market, it is necessary to form their information field, within which they would exchange information about their activities, provide effective communication and work to create and maintain a positive reputation. Therefore, taking into account the current difficult epidemiological, economic and social situation in Ukraine, it is obvious that the health care sector needs constant improvement.

Abstract:

Oral and dental health examination policy refers to screening of dental and oral cavities on an annual basis as part of their progression during the school period. The oral and dental health examination helps to identify the status of dentition, oral hygiene care, dietary risk, dental anomalies, malocclusion, signs of deleterious habits such as smoking tobacco, sexual abuse, or signs of child neglect. Nutrition relates to both dental development and oral health. Hence, a mandatory policy on oral and dental health examination reports for school-going children will provide a scope for the early detection and early care of dental problems.

Abstract:

We evaluated the effect of the National Health Insurance (NHI) policy including dental sealant on changes in the prevalence of sealant and caries, and examined how NHI affected sealant utilization and untreated caries in children from diverse income groups in South Korea. We used a multivariate logistic regression analysis to explore the effects of three stages of dental sealant policy (pre-policy: 2007–2009, first post-policy: 2010–2012, and second post-policy: 2013–2015) on the prevalence of dental sealant and untreated caries. Participant data (N = 8161, aged 6–14 years) were derived from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2007–2015). We also conducted subgroup analysis to determine the effects of the NHI policy on dental sealant and untreated caries by income level. Implementation of dental insurance coverage was associated with higher likelihood of using dental sealant (odds ratio (OR) = 1.39 (95% confidence interval (CI): 1.18–1.63) for the first period and OR = 1.58 (95% CI: 1.33–1.87) for the second period) and lower odds of having untreated caries (OR = 0.79 (95% CI: 0.64–0.98) for the first period and OR = 0.65 (95% CI: 0.51–0.83) for the second period) after controlling for covariates. Results revealed that there was a greater prevalence of dental sealant and a lower prevalence of untreated caries in both middle- and low-income households compared to high-income households. The higher prevalence of dental sealant and lower untreated caries after the policy implementation. Moreover, we demonstrated children from low-or middle-income households were more associated with increasing dental sealant use and a declining prevalence of caries.

Abstract:

Before the COVID-19 pandemic, health policy debates about the importance of oral health and dental care were intensifying around the world. These debates were invariably complex and muddled by political, professional, and commercial interests. Although, in broad terms, 2 foundational questions have tended to undergird debates on how dental care should be addressed in health policy. These are: who should receive the support of governments, and what constitutes essential or medically necessary dental care? In our view, the COVID-19 pandemic has provided a stark social and policy context that has radically clarified both questions. Knowledge Transfer Statement: This commentary can be used by governments, regulators, professional groups, and other stakeholders in their considerations of what constitutes essential or medically necessary dental care and how to best allocate dental care resources.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Having a policy on infection control based on current evidence and guidelines is essential for all dental practices. The evidence shows that all the members of the dental team may not possess adequate knowledge of all relevant aspects related to infection control, such as the transmission of infectious diseases, current regulations, etc. Moreover, there exists evidence to support the value of education and certified training the dental professionals in improving their understanding of infection control policies and procedures. The training must be provided by an expert team comprising of an academician with suitable clinical experience and demonstrable expertize in dentistry, and a microbiologist who understands the needs of dental settings. Evidence suggests that a training over 10 hours is associated with maximal benefits; and the CDC and BDA guidelines recommend training to all dental staff (clinical as well as nonclinical) for optimal benefits. Successful implementation of the infection control policies depends on the adequate provision of time and facilities for the same. How to cite this article Jawdekar AM.

Abstract:

The paper aim to examine how dental policy across the world could confront health regulators worldwide in the face of outbreaks and financial constraints faced by dentists worldwide. Globally, current dental practice is limited to providing only emergency treatments. This move is appreciative, but has resulted in enormous financial losses worldwide sustained by dental care providers (DCPs). This research are using qualitative analysis that are gathering the data using perish and publish, and collecting the data through scopus database as the main sources in this research. In advance of collecting the data, this research is analysis by Nvivo tools and Vosviewer to knowing the clustering values of dental policy and knowing the networking of spreading the virus in term of dental policy. The result show that the guideline and policy in each country, since every country has different values those are faced in their country especially talking with Asian Country. As regards the contagious nature of COVID-19, an appropriate standard procedure policy for patient management and a recommendation for dental treatment in hospitals during the pandemic are imperative for some institutions. Dental treatment requires close proximity, face-to-face practices, and may produce droplets or aerosols containing water, saliva, blood, any other microorganisms and other debris during the procedure.

Abstract:

There are a variety of options for use of dental anaesthetics. Anaesthetics can be used on their own or combined for improved effect. More dentists are offering newer types of anaesthesia and sedation in their own offices but the lack of inspection, inadequate training of para dental staff and unavailability of necessary emergency measures in the dental clinics is causing more accidents. A policy to govern the use of anaesthesia in dentistry is an increasingly controversial topic. Anaesthesia awareness among the dentist community leaves a lot to be desired. One reason there has been no urgency for framing a Dental Anaesthesia Policy is because there is very little data related to mishaps attributable to use of anaesthesia in dental practice. Dental practice does not have a systematic or scientific type of reporting to enable practitioners to predict or examine outcomes. When a procedure has adverse results, the dental practitioner is most likely to decide not to try it again or worse, decide to keep the failure to themselves so as not to harm the growth of their practice. An important aim of having a Dental Anaesthesia Policy is to pay adequate attention to the patient once dental anaesthesia is administered and to prioritise medical care, in case of any emergency.

Abstract:

AbstractAlthough many dental professionals argue that prevention of oral diseases, including dental caries, will benefit both the patient and public finances, a paradigm shift has yet to happen in most countries. The literature has demonstrated that caries prevention and control is possible, but authorities have yet to implement health systems that allow patients to stay in a good health state. 'Policy Labs' are an innovative policy-making initiative that allow a positive collaboration between the many stakeholders around a given policy issue. In July 2017, 24 international experts, including representatives of both international and European Chief Dental Officers associations, were gathered for the first Alliance for a Cavity-Free Future/King's College London Dental Policy Lab to identify the main barriers for a change, and concrete actions to facilitate a policy shift towards increased resource allocation in prevention. A comprehensive report and well-received infographic summarising the key recommendations (explored in this paper) were produced to explain the situation and highlight the value of a cavity-free world to policymakers, demonstrating where change is needed. The first Dental Policy Lab proved to be an efficient way to generate new ideas and concrete ways to implement them, and has led to several subsequent initiatives worldwide.

Abstract:

The present work suggests research and innovation on the topic of dental education after the COVID-19 pandemic, is highly justified and could lead to a step change in dental practice. The challenge for the future in dentistry education should be revised with the COVID-19 and the possibility for future pandemics, since in most countries dental students stopped attending the dental faculties as there was a general lockdown of the population. The dental teaching has an important curriculum in the clinic where patients attend general dentistry practice. However, with SARS-CoV-2 virus, people may be reluctant having a dental treatment were airborne transmission can occur in some dental procedures. In preclinical dental education, the acquisition of clinical, technical skills, and the transfer of these skills to the clinic are extremely important. Therefore, dental education has to adapt the curriculum to embrace new technology devices, instrumentations systems, haptic systems, simulation based training, 3D printer machines, to permit validation and calibration of the technical skills of dental students.

Abstract:

Health professional education and careers have witnessed major changes across the world during the last two decades of the twentieth century, and India is no exception to this. This article examines the current situation of dental education in India and explores the processes which have led to its commercialization, despite the existence of policy initiatives specifically intended for its regulation. Using the health policy triangle framework of Walt and Gilson, we attempt to understand the contexts and processes of commercialization of dental education and the development of the major regulatory policy initiatives in the sector. Secondary data analysis (regarding the growth of dental education), document analysis (policy and legal) and literature review (about higher education in India specifically medical and dental) are the methods used. The analysis brings to light the failure of policy initiatives in the past three decades by the regulatory bodies of the country, to curb the uncontrolled growth and commercialization of dental education. The Indian experience brings home the critical lesson that drafting relevant policies will not guarantee results, especially when they are to be implemented in the absence of a favourable political climate.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to investigate the opinion of dental specialists on the reasons for the decrease in the role of dentistry in general hospitals and to propose improvement plans of the dental care delivery system. A survey was conducted using Google Survey, and 113 respondents out of 713 dental trained capable specialists were the final objects of this study. The variables were age, position, major, and opinion on the role and measures for the improvement of dentistry in general hospitals. As results, the role of dentistry in general hospitals included providing not only complex dental services, training and education, but R&D functions. For improving the role of dentistry, government and legal supports are required, which include amendments of training hospital standards and recruitment of dentists in medical emergency institutions. Finally, this study suggests mitigations of designation criteria for dental training centers in general hospitals with more than 300 beds. The current internship system need to be abolished, and legislation for emergency dental treatments through the Emergency Medical Act is required.

Abstract:

Purpose – Measuring dental clinic service quality is the first and most important factor in improving care. The quality provided plays an important role in patient satisfaction. The purpose of this paper is to identify factors affecting dental service quality from the patients’ viewpoint. Design/methodology/approach – This cross-sectional, descriptive-analytical study was conducted in a dental clinic in Tehran between January and June 2014. A sample of 385 patients was selected from two work shifts using stratified sampling proportional to size and simple random sampling methods. The data were collected, a self-administered questionnaire designed for the purpose of the study, based on the Parasuraman and Zeithaml’s model of service quality which consisted of two parts: the patients’ demographic characteristics and a 30-item questionnaire to measure the five dimensions of the service quality. The collected data were analysed using SPSS 21.0 and Amos 18.0 through some descriptive statistics such as mean, standard deviation, as well as analytical methods, including confirmatory factor. Findings – Results showed that the correlation coefficients for all dimensions were higher than 0.5. In this model, assurance (regression weight=0.99) and tangibility (regression weight=0.86) had, respectively, the highest and lowest effects on dental service quality. Practical implications – The Parasuraman and Zeithaml’s model is suitable to measure quality in dental services. The variables related to dental services quality have been made according to the model. Originality/value – This is a pioneering study that uses Parasuraman and Zeithaml’s model and CFA in a dental setting. This study provides useful insights and guidance for dental service quality assurance.

Abstract:

Background: It is vital to provide evidence-based research documentation to guide policy decision-making. There is a limited number of studies that participate in dental policy evidence-based research. Case Description: Texas is one of the states with limited dental service coverage for its Medicaid Beneficiaries. The recent senate bill 87R 1152 proposes expansion of dental preventive service to disability status Medicaid Beneficiaries. It is vital to understand how effective the extensive dental service under Medicaid coverage is through evidence-based research. True causal analysis of such public policies by utilizing observational data is only feasible through limited identification strategies. The current paper identifies that. Practical Implication: Through the identified research plan and conceptual framework, it can be established if extensive Medicaid dental service coverages effectively prevent dental disease burden in Texas.

Abstract:

Oral disease continues to be a major problem in Australia impacting quality of life, the economy and broader health system. Although the understanding of caries and periodontal disease has improved along with increased government support, oral diseases continue to be the most prevalent among all health conditions. This is despite unprecedented levels of funding in the Chronic Disease Dental Scheme and the Teen Dental Plan. Access to primary care dentistry in the private sector, where the majority of dental services are provided, remains a critical issue. Under the current system of dentistry, it cannot be assumed that the practice of dentistry represents a prioritised approach to combat disease patterns based on scientific evidence in primary health and prevention. Drawing on data in relation to these two programs, the present study highlights issues impacting dental service provision. This includes issues such as access and affordability to dental care, sustainability of policy and its unintended consequences, private practice pressures and the impact of remuneration on treatment. This paper argues that without structural reform there will continue to be barriers in implementing policies capable of improving oral health. What is known about the topic? The burden of oral diseases remains high and there continue to be problems in accessing and affording dental treatment. What does this paper add? This paper highlights factors impacting dental service provision and offers potential solutions to improve access to primary care dentistry. What are the implications for practitioners? A consideration of these factors may assist policy makers and governments in formulating effective policies.

Abstract:

AbstractThe first Alliance for a Cavity-Free Future (ACFF)/King's College London Dental Policy Lab, held in 2017, identified the need for a review of dental payment systems in order to see progress towards achieving improvements in caries and cavities. The lack of incentivisation for preventive intervention and care has long been a barrier to progress. The second Dental Policy Lab, held in July 2018, focused on this issue with the overarching question: 'How can we create and implement acceptable prevention-based dental payment systems to achieve and maintain health outcomes?' Using a design approach and participatory research, 29 participants from five stakeholder categories developed a blueprint report that aims to serve as a framework to adapt or create remuneration systems that are compatible with evidence-based dentistry with a focus on preventive care. Aimed at policymakers and policy entrepreneurs, this blueprint provides guidance and potential solutions using several international examples. The report and accompanying infographic explored in this paper have been well received and have helped to frame discussions in several country settings, with a direct implementation which is being trialled in France in 2021.

Abstract:

Objective This study investigated the link between socioeconomic status and unplanned dental presentations at the Perth Children’s Hospital (PCH), as well as the link between the socioeconomic status of unplanned dental patients and any previous admissions to the PCH. Methods Records of 351 unplanned visits to the PCH were collected, including reason for attendance (infection, trauma, other), the patient’s residential location (suburb) and the history of any previous presentations at the PCH. The socioeconomic status of each patient was based on the Index of Relative Socio-Economic Disadvantage, divided into quintiles. Geographic information systems (GIS) were used to spatially map the residential locations of the patients with unplanned dental presentations. QGIS was used to map and geocode the data. Analysis of variance and Chi-squared tests were used to determine associations between subgroups and other variables. Results ‘Unplanned dental presentation’ in this study refers to patients who present without an appointment, including by referral from the emergency department of the PCH or outside the PCH. Approximately two-thirds of unplanned dental presentation among patients from low socioeconomic groups were for dental infection, whereas the major reason for presentation among patients from higher socioeconomic groups was trauma. More than half the patients in low socioeconomic groups had at least one previous presentation at the PCH due to other medical issues. Conclusion Children from low socioeconomic groups, or from outside of Perth, were more likely to present with dental infections, which are mostly preventable at the primary care level; these patients often presented a more significant burden to the health system. Public health interventions should aim to promote preventive oral health care, especially for children from low socioeconomic groups. What is known about the topic? In Western Australia, the most common dental problems requiring hospitalisation among children is dental caries, and children from the lowest socioeconomic backgrounds have the highest prevalence of dental hospitalisations. What does this paper add? Children from lower socioeconomic backgrounds were more likely to have an unplanned presentation at the only tertiary children’s hospital in Western Australia due to dental infection. What are the implications for practitioners? Improved access to public dental services, especially in low socioeconomic areas, and the development of more strategies to reduce unplanned dental presentations at a tertiary hospital are needed.

Abstract:

Background: Due to the health consequences and economic losses associated with tobacco, the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, a worldwide effort to control the effects of tobacco smoking on human health enacted a set of policies to curb tobacco use. Smoking cessation services aim to ensure that every patient is screened for tobacco use, their tobacco use status is documented, and patients who use tobacco are advised to quit. Dental health professionals are strategically positioned to reach many tobacco users and this proposal provides a simple framework whereby dentistry could play a major role in smoking cessation efforts. Interventions: Strategies for incorporating Cessation Services into Oral Health Care Delivery include the School Oral Health programs through Public Health Dentistry, updating the Dental School Curriculum through dental education regarding tobacco use prevention and cessation; including Tobacco Treatment Specialists certification in Postgraduate Curriculum for Dental Public Health; Continuing Medical Education (CME) focused on cessation services for dental personnel; Clinical Smoking Cessation Interventions in Dental settings; Compensation of Dental personnel for tobacco use prevention and cessation services; and ongoing research, evaluation and monitoring. Conclusion: Incorporation of these evidence-based treatments into dental practice would result in more individuals achieving long-term abstinence and thus reduce tobacco-related death, disease, and economic loss worldwide.

Abstract:

Tooth decay and gum disease, the main dental diseases affecting Australians, can cause pain and deformity as well as affecting eating and speech. Dental practitioners are efficient and effective in relieving dental pain, and they can effectively restore oral function. There is good evidence that better health care outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients are associated with care from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health professionals. Unfortunately, the representation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people within the dental practitioner workforce is very low. We argue that a strategic approach, along with additional investment, is needed to increase the number of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people qualified as dental practitioners.

Abstract:

Dental care services have the highest risk of transmitting the COVID-19. Many countries and health organizations published policies or procedures for dental care services implementation during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study compared the dental care policies before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study narratively reviewed policies of dental care services before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. We searched for recommendations and guidelines on dental care policies by The Ministry of Health of Indonesia and The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The study result showed that the dental care policy before the COVID-19 pandemic explained infection preventive action in dental care facilities. Dental care policy during the COVID-19 pandemic explained COVID-19 preventive efforts and changes in the dental procedure like the use of teledentistry (to assess the dental condition of patients and follow up patients), postponing of elective surgeries, restricting the number of patients, screening COVID-19 for all patients, and implement of COVID-19 health protocol. The most striking differences among dental care policies before and during the COVID-19 pandemic were the pre-visit screening aspect (the use of teledentistry to assess dental condition) and the screening aspect (ensuring patients didn't have COVID-19 symptoms)

Abstract:

Objectives The poor oral health of Australians experiencing homelessness negatively affects their quality of life. Better oral health is associated with having annual dental check-ups. Because there is limited peer-reviewed literature describing strategies that improve access to and uptake of dental care by homeless people, in this study we searched the grey literature to discover what strategies are used. Methods The Informit database and Google and Bing search engines were searched using the keywords ‘homeless and oral and dental services’. Bing and Google were searched unrestricted by site and Google was searched for sites ending in ‘org.au’. Searches were restricted to Australia from June 2008 to June 2018. The first 300 websites were read, and those describing or linking to pages describing a strategy that improved access to or uptake of dental care were included in the study. The content of the webpages was evaluated and summarised, with common strategies reported as a narrative description. Results Nineteen programs were described. Common strategies were providing free care, in-reach care, outreach care and the need to work closely with support organisations. Conclusions To improve access to and uptake of dental care by people experiencing homelessness, dental services need to be free and organised in collaboration with support organisations. What is known about the topic? The peer-reviewed literature describing strategies used to improve access to and uptake of dental care by people experiencing homelessness in Australia is limited. The authors could only locate two such studies, one based in Melbourne and one in Brisbane. Both programs had a similar aim, but used different strategies to achieve it, suggesting a lack of consensus about the best way to encourage dental visiting by people experiencing homelessness. What does this paper add? This paper used the grey literature to describe common strategies used in Australia to improve access to and uptake of dental care by people experiencing homelessness. What are the implications for practitioners? Dental service providers aiming to increase access to and uptake of dental care by people experiencing homelessness need to work collaboratively with support organisations and provide care free of charge.
