Abstract:
Caries is caused by germs and processed carbohydrates, exacerbated by the frequency of sucrose and can be modified by fluoride and saliva. The use of fluoride as a prevention material for dental cavities is very important. Dental Therapist must have knowledge about fluoride in order to determine attitudes in the use of fluoride. The purpose of this study was to determine differences in knowledge and attitudes of dental and oral therapists about fluoride as a preventative material for caries prevention.Research design was observational analytic with cross sectional approach. The research data was obtained using a questionnaire as instruments. Respondents was 44 dental therapist who works at Semarang Community Health Service. Chi-square test was used as an analysis tool with a value of p 0.05.The results showed differences between Dental Therapists' knowledge of fluoride by age group (p = 0,000), but there were no differences in knowledge by sex group (p = 0.674) and education level (p = 0.831). There was a difference between the attitude of the Dental Therapist based on age group (p = 0.049), but there was no difference based on gender group (p = 0.220) and education level (p = 0.534).Based on these results, it can be concluded that there are differences in the knowledge and attitudes of Dental and Oral Therapists towards fluoride with the age group, the older the age then tend to have positive behavior and can also understand and digest the proper use of fluoride and how to minimize the incidence of dental fluorosis

Abstract:
Background: Access to health services is needed around the world, from healthcare providers to doctors. One of the needs in public health is a system that is accessible for everyone, but, unequal distribution of healthcare provider and health workers, especially in dentistry fields is still a main problem in several countries, including Indonesia. The aim of this study is to analyze the spatial distribution of dentists, dental technicians, and dental therapists. Methods: This spatial analysis study was conducted after obtaining secondary data in Indonesia. All data were collected between September 1st, 2020 and October 1st, 2020 from open access sources of de-identified data. The data of dentists per area, dental technicians per area, and dental therapists per area were calculated for analysis. A spatial distribution map was prepared using the Quantum Geographic Information System (QGIS Desktop, version 3.10.6). Results: The results of this study found a ratio of dentists to members of the population in Indonesia of 1:17,105. The average number of dental technicians that work in the public health centers in each province (dental technicians per area) in Indonesia was calculated to be 0.13. The average number of dental therapists that work in the public health centers in each province (dental therapists per area) in Indonesia was calculated to be 0.40. This spatial autocorrelation illustrates that there is a relationship between values of dentists per area and dental therapists per area between provinces in Indonesia, and shows geographic clustering relationships or patterns that are grouped and have similar characteristics in adjacent locations. This spatial autocorrelation did not occur in the value of dental technicians. Conclusions: From this study we can conclude that there is an unequal distribution of dental personnel in Indonesia.

Abstract:
We investigated the success of paediatric dental treatment under inhalation sedation (IHS) with nitrous oxide completed by a dental therapist, as an alternative to general anaesthesia (GA) in secondary care. We found that 94% of had treatment successfully completed under IHS by a therapist. These patients were assessed as being suitable for IHS and were referred to the therapist via a new patient clinic. The success of therapists treating paediatric patients with IHS could help reduce pressure on GA waiting lists. As well as being a safer treatment option, this method allows effective conservative treatment to be completed and thereby reducing the number of extractions required, which is a major benefit to patients' future health and wellbeing. CPD/Clinical Relevance: This study shows the success of treatment under inhalation sedation by a dental therapist. Appropriate referral to therapists has the potential to reduce the need for procedures under general anaesthesia. This has the affect of reducing the strain on our general anaesthetic waiting lists, as well as having a positive impact on the health and wellbeing of our patients with IHS being considered the safer option.

Abstract:
Aim To determine the composition of the dental care professional (DCP) workforce in South Yorkshire, the existence of any training requirements, and future intentions and motivations relating to the provision of National Health Service (NHS) dental care. Methods The study used mixed methods and incorporated a cross-sectional postal questionnaire and focus groups. The questionnaire was sent to all NHS dental practices in South Yorkshire (n=201) for completion by a principal general dental practitioner (GDP). Focus groups were held with GDPs in these practices. Results Responses were received from principal GDPs at 156 practices (78%). A total of 624 dental nurses, 65 dental hygienists and 24 dental therapists were employed in the responding General Dental Services (GDS) practices, representing whole-time equivalents (WTEs) of 458.5, 18.5 and 10.1, respectively. Many practices had current vacancies for DCPs, with 24.9 WTE available for dental nurses, 3.7 WTE for dental hygienists, and 5.0 WTE for dental therapists. Workforce shortages were evident among dental nurses (5.2%), dental hygienists (16.7%), and dental therapists (33.0%). Principal GDPs suggested that improved terms and conditions of employment for DCPs, particularly dental nurses, might aid recruitment and retention in NHS practice. Conclusions Respondents perceived that there were shortages in the DCP workforce in South Yorkshire. Initiatives are required to address these shortages.

Abstract:
Lesotho is a land-locked mountainous country in Southern Africa. Both geography and poverty impact on dental health in low-income patients. Information on the number and function of dentists and dental therapists in public hospitals, are lacking. The aim was to investigate accessibility to oral health services. Objectives were to investigate the number and geographical distribution of oral health personnel and document the availability of dental services in Lesotho. A cross-sectional mixed methods study design was used. Four dental therapists of the six employed by the government, participated in in-depth interviews. Questionnaires about access to oral health services were administered to government employed dentists. The Lesotho National Department of Oral Health provided information regarding dental patient statistics between 2017 and 2019. It was found that 20 dentists and 10 dental therapists provided limited dental services in public facilities. In 2017, 2018 and 2019; the annual numbers of dental patients were 85 776, 75 148 and 97 425 respectively. Approximately 40% of patients visited two hospitals in Maseru. It was concluded that there was a shortage of oral health personnel, resulting in inadequate access to dental services, particularly in rural areas.
