Full textThe main core of the organization of the work process in Oral Health consists in the team composition which is the Dentist, Dental Therapist (DT) and Dental Assistant (DA). Teamwork with the delegation of tasks to auxiliary personnel seeks a more rational system of assistance, an increase of quality, resolution and coverage of care. Actually, the Public Health System has been greatly responsible for the integration of DT in the oral health team. The objective of this qualitative research was to acknowledge the dentist´s perception about the integration of the DT in the oral health team. The field research was at the city of Embu, State of Sao Paulo, Brazil, and the technique used for data collection was focus group with dentists working in the public health system of this city as participants. The results indicate, according to participants, the importance of the role played by the DT in the oral health team, especially in public service, where there is great demand for assistance besides lessening dentists stress. Respondents also emphasize that this practice based on teamwork was not discussed during their undergraduation and they experienced this only after beginning the public service assistance. The importance of an adequate technical training as well as doubts about the professional regulation also emerged in the focus groups. From the results it is concluded that training of managers for the better ordering of the process of oral health teamwork is required in addition to an improvement in training of dental therapists, linked to the real needs of the Brazilian Public Health System. Although advances have occurred in recent years with the current national policy on oral health, encouraging teamwork, this process requires a greater stimulus.

Full textThe maintenance of a high level of oral health has become more pressing in recent years. With more studies showing that good oral hygiene is directly related to a better quality of life and may also have implications for overall systemic health, the demand for and necessity of oral healthcare has increased. While many individuals are able to easily access proper dental care, should they desire, it is not the case for many people in rural populations and lower economic status. To address this issue, several states in the U.S. began implementing a new type of oral health practitioner to help meet the oral health needs of these populations -the dental therapist. Borrowed from similar programs in New Zealand, the United Kingdom and elsewhere, the American dental therapist initiative was designed to provide affordable, basic dental care to individuals who do not have regular access to such oral health services. However, the program has been met with harsh resistance from many in the dental community. Some dentists claim that dental therapists do more harm than good, asserting that therapists economically hurt existing dental practices, are unqualified to provide appropriate dental care and are not trained to deal with all that could happen to a patient during a dental procedure. Recognizing the importance of resolving this conflict, this thesis will take an unbiased look at the clash between the proponents and opponents of the American dental therapist movement. At the conclusion of this paper, it will be shown that the American dental therapist movement, while sound in theory, is currently not structured appropriately to achieve the goals that it was designed to complete. Additionally, this paper will show that the response of American dentists to the dental therapist program is not entirely justified and should be amended to be more supportive of the initiative and its aims. Further discussion and examination of the American dental therapist movement ought to continue.

Resumo: Este estudo teve como objetivo investigar as condições morfofuncionais do sistema estomatognático e de autopercepção da saúde bucal em idosos usuários de prótese dentária. Fizeram parte do estudo 10 idosos usuários de prótese dentária atendidos no ¿Projeto Envelhecer Sorrindo¿ desenvolvido nod Departamento de Prótese da Faculdade de Odontologia da Universidade de São Paulo / USP. Os dados foram obtidos a partir do acompanhamento dos idosos durante quatro meses, por meio da aplicação de dois instrumentos; um protocolo de avaliação fonoaudiológica, o qual foi submetido ao processo de validação teórica e o índice GOHAI (Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index) para avaliação da autopercepção da saúde bucal. Foi realizada uma análise descritiva dos dados da avaliação fonoaudiológica e do índice GOHAI. As condições do sistema estomatognático não melhoraram apenas com a instalação da prótese nova. Nenhum dos idosos avaliados foi capaz de adequar as três funções : mastigação, deglutição e fala após quatro meses de adaptação à prótese nova. A média do GOHAI aumentou de 27.6 para 31.9, da avaliação inicial para a final, qualificando como positiva a autopercepção da saúde bucal após a instalação da prótese. Os resultados evidenciam que a presença do fonoaudiólogo junto ao odontólogo é de grande importância auxiliando o idoso no processo de adaptação à prótese dentária e adequação da musculatura e funções orofaciais. A autopercepção da saúde bucal foi positiva mesmo não sendo satisfatório o resultado obtido com a avaliação fonoaudiológica, enfatizando a necessidade da padronização de um instrumento apropriado para a avaliação fonoaudiológica em pacientes idosos usuários de prótese dentária
Abstract: The aim of this study was to investigate the stomatognathic system, morphofunctional conditions, and oral health self-perception in elderly wearing new dental prosthesis. This study, consisting of ten elderly patients wearing dental prosthesis, was supported by the ¿Envelhecer Sorrindo¿ project developed by the Prosthodontics Department at the Dental School of the University of São Paulo /USP. Data were collected during monitoring sessions for 4 months, using 2 different tools: (a) a Speech and Language evaluation protocol submitted to a theoretical validation process; and (b) GOHAI (Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index) used to evaluate the oral health self-perception of the elderly assessed. A descriptive analysis of the data collected with both tools was done. The conditions of the stomatognathic system did not improve completely with the placement of the new prosthesis. None of the elderly could adapt themselves to the three main functions (mastication, swallowing, and speech) four months after prosthesis placement. GOHAI index increased by 27.6 to 31.9, from the initial evaluation to the final one, suggesting the new prostheses were positive in relation to oral health self-concept. The results showed that the presence of a speech and language therapist working together with the dentist is very important to help the elderly during the prosthesis adaptation process and to monitor musculature and orofacial functions. Oral health self-concept was positive although the results obtained with the Speech and Language evaluation were not satisfactory. Further studies are needed to standardise a proper tool to be used during the speech and language evaluation in elderly patients wearing oral prosthesis

Full textIntroduction: Compulsory Community Service (CS) for health professionals has been introduced in South Africa since 1997. Some of the aims for its introduction were to: 1) address the maldistribution of health service providers, 2) prevent qualified health professionals from emigrating and 3) improve clinical skills and knowledge of newly qualified medical graduates. The Oral Hygiene (OH) and Dental Therapy (DT) professions have as yet not been included in the performance of CS. However the Department of Health (DOH) is planning to introduce CS for these groups of health professionals in the near future. The role of the oral hygienist and dental therapist in South Africa (SA) cannot be over emphasized. Given the high caries levels, low oral hygiene education levels, large unmet oral health needs and the preventative approach of the DOH at all levels, the oral hygienist and dental therapist can provide invaluable human and technical resources that are currently required to address these concerns. Aims: To assess the attitudes of OH and DT students registered during 2004 at the five dental schools in South Africa regarding the introduction of CS. Objectives: 1) To obtain the demographic data of the OH and DT students, 2) to determine whether their current training programme prepares these students for CS, 3) to identify the provinces in which the OH and DT students would prefer to be placed for CS and 5) to identify the different types of professional activities that the OH and DT students would like to perform whilst completing CS. Methods: A self administered questionnaire was jointly developed between the Kwa- Zulu Natal Department of Health and the Division of Public Oral Health at the University of Witwatersrand, Johannesburg. The questionnaire was sent to all OH and DT students who were registered at each of the five dental schools in SA during 2004. Results: There were a total of 163 students (68%) who responded to the questionnaire. Of the respondents, 109 (70%) were OH students and 54 (64%) were DT students. There were 132 (81%) females and 31 (19%) males. The average age of the student’s was 21 years (17-37; mode 19; median 20 and SD 3.2). There were 59 (36%) Whites, 53 (33%) Black, 31(19%) Asian and 18 (11%) Coloured students. The majority of OH students (63%) were against the introduction of CS. There was a significant number (p<0.05) of White students who were registered for the OH degree that did not want to perform CS. A significant number of respondents (p<0.05) felt that they were adequately trained to perform all the necessary duties that may be required of them during their CS. Most of the respondents chose Kwa-Zulu Natal (26%), Western Cape (26%) and Gauteng (22%) provinces respectively as their first choice province for carrying out their CS. The majority of students (p<0.05) chose their resident province as their first choice province in which they would prefer to perform their CS. Students indicated a preference to perform oral health promotional activities (56%), health educational activities (21%) and clinical work (18%) in their CS programme. Conclusion: The majority of DT students supported the concept of CS. This was in contrast to the OH students where less than half of them supported its introduction. Overall, most of the students chose the more urban provinces (Kwa-Zulu Natal, Western Cape and Gauteng) to complete their CS.

Full textBackground: Despite water fluoridation and well established media promotion of the use of fluoride toothpaste twice a day, many adolescents are still at risk of dental caries and periodontal disease due to poor dietary and toothbrushing behaviours. However, these oral health problems can be moderated by providing individuals with preventive care and advice. In New South Wales (NSW) dental therapists and oral health therapists (Therapists) working in the public health system can help this vulnerable group by providing free dental care including advice on preventing dental caries and periodontal disease. This study used both quantitative and qualitative methodology to investigate the provision of preventive care by Therapists to adolescents who chose to attend NSW Public Oral Health Services. Methods/Methodology: The quantitative studies undertaken included: (i) obtaining clinical and preventive data from the NSW Health Information System of Oral Health database for all Therapists across all the Local Health Districts (LHDs) for interrogation and analysis; (ii) a reliability study of Therapists clinical and preventive care data as recorded in the electronic health record and paper record; and (iii) two cross-sectional postal questionnaire surveys; with one survey using three clinical vignettes to ascertain how Therapists structure their preventive care health plans for adolescents. The questionnaire survey also included items which explored Therapists’ patterns of participation in continuing professional development on clinical preventive care for adolescents. The qualitative studies included: (i) three two hour structured focus group sessions with 16 Therapists; and (ii) two separate studies using in-depth face to face interviews with clinical directors and health service managers; and Senior Therapists. The qualitative studies explored the participants’ perceptions and views on the influencing factors that enable or inhibit Therapists offering clinical preventive care to adolescents; and what strategies they used to enhance Therapists’ ability to facilitate preventive care in their day to day care for patients. Results: Preventive ca:re provided for adolescents accessing NSW Public Oral Health Services across all the Local Health Districts varied considerably from approximately 32% to 55% of Therapists clinical activity over a one year period. The reliability study demonstrated that the current dual system using the electronic health record and paper records to record and account for Therapists’ clinical and preventive care activities for adolescents had deficiencies, indicating an area for infrastructure improvement. The cross-sectional surveys using the clinical vignettes demonstrated that there were considerable variations noted in Therapists recommendations for stabilising and managing dental disease for their adolescent patients, suggesting a need for Clinical Directors to improve models of preventive care delivery based on scientific evidence. Therapists responded to the continuing professional development items in the survey and noted that they received most of their education from the Local Health District, suggesting opportunities for interprofessional learning from visiting dental paediatric specialists, dentists and supported by health service managers. The qualitative studies provided common themes at multiple levels of the oral health organisation, highlighting the factors that can enhance and assist Therapists operationalise scientific based preventive care into their day to day clinical practice. These include resourcing efficient clinical access pathways to preventive care; adequate workforce mix; efficient and effective administrative processes to support preventive clinical care activities; provision of oral health products and age appropriate information to support adolescents’ homecare regimes. Conclusion: Therapists in this study stated it was their professional clinical ethos to embed scientific based preventive care into day to day clinical practice to improve adolescents’ long term oral health outcomes. To improve preventive models of care for adolescents requires the overarching administrative authority, NSW Health to accept that the scientific evidence relating to dental care has changed, and that management monitoring information should be incorporated into health reforms; thus assisting clinical directors, Therapist clinical leaders and health service managers to collaborate more effectively with sponsored support ‘pillars’ in the redesign of sustainable, cost effective evidenced based care pathways for all adolescents.
