Madunic, Daria, Lidia Gavic, Ivan Kovacic, Neven Vidovic, Jasen Vladislavic e Antonija Tadin. "Dentists’ Opinions in Providing Oral Healthcare to Elderly People: A Questionnaire-Based Online Cross-Sectional Survey". International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health 18, n. 6 (22 marzo 2021): 3257. http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/ijerph18063257.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This cross-sectional study aimed to assess the factors in dentists’ opinions related to oral health and the treatment management of the elderly. An online questionnaire-based survey was conducted among the dentist population (n = 463). Respondents were divided depending on whether they attended the geriatric dentistry course during their education, and 15 questions on the Likert scale demonstrated the difference in their attitudes. The majority of respondents (61.9%) agree that dental studies should pay more attention to acquiring sufficient knowledge and skills in the treatment of the elderly, and 56.2% would like to attend a course on that subject. Compared to those who participated in the geriatric dentistry course, those who did not consider providing oral healthcare to older people find it more difficult because of its complexity and practical obstacles (37.3% vs. 54%, p ≤ 0.001). From the results of this study, it can be concluded that there are differences in opinion about the provision of oral healthcare to the elderly between dentists who have and who have not attended a geriatric dentist course during their education. During the dentist’s education, geriatric dentistry courses should have a significant role in providing knowledge for working with the elderly population.

Background: The biggest issue for any paediatric dentist, despite the many advancements in the field of paediatric dentistry, is to reduce patient anxiety associated with dental visits and encourage them to accept the necessary care. In order to establish a good relationship with the child, the dentist's presentation is crucial.
Aim: To assess the children’s perception and preference towards the dentist’s appearance, dental clinic set-up.
Materials and Methods: A questionnaire designed to evaluate children’s attitudes and preferences towards dentists was distributed in public schools and was completed by 1012 children (459 males, 553 females) aged between 7–13 years. Data collected was entered into a computer and analyzed using SPSS software. Descriptive and inferential analysis was carried out.
Results: For about 526 children (52%) it was their first visit while 486 children (48%) had been to the dentist before. Children’s preferred attire for receptionists was casual clothes (50.2%) while for the dentist, most of them (42.7%) preferred scrubs. Most (69.1%) of the children were not scared with the use of PPE kit.
Conclusion: The findings of this study can assist dentists in determining what to wear when working with kids to lessen their anxiety and enhance healthcare delivery.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This study describes what training programs in pediatric dentistry and dental anesthesiology are doing to meet future needs for deep sedation/general anesthesia services required for pediatric dentistry. Residency directors from 10 dental anesthesiology training programs in North America and 79 directors from pediatric dentistry training programs in North America were asked to answer an 18-item and 22-item online survey, respectively, through an online survey tool. The response rate for the 10 anesthesiology training program directors was 9 of 10 or 90%. The response rate for the 79 pediatric dentistry training program directors was 46 of 79 or 58%. Thirty-seven percent of pediatric dentistry programs use clinic-based deep sedation/general anesthesia for dental treatment in addition to hospital-based deep sedation/general anesthesia. Eighty-eight percent of those programs use dentist anesthesiologists for administration of deep sedation/general anesthesia in a clinic-based setting. Pediatric dentistry residency directors perceive a future change in the need for deep sedation/general anesthesia services provided by dentist anesthesiologists to pediatric dentists: 64% anticipate an increase in need for dentist anesthesiologist services, while 36% anticipate no change. Dental anesthesiology directors compared to 2, 5, and 10 years ago have seen an increase in the requests for dentist anesthesiologist services by pediatric dentists reported by 56% of respondents (past 2 years), 63% of respondents (past 5 years), and 88% of respondents (past 10 years), respectively. Predicting the future need of dentist anesthesiologists is an uncertain task, but these results show pediatric dentistry directors and dental anesthesiology directors are considering the need, and they recognize a trend of increased need for dentist anesthesiologist services over the past decade.

Early intervention in pediatric dentistry is crucial in influencing children’s oral health trajectory and establishing habits that may last a lifetime. Pediatric dentists strive to develop good dental hygiene habits in young children via early detection, treatment, education, and prevention (Happykidsdental, 2024). To foster good dental hygiene habits for life, this study explores the many aspects of early intervention in pediatric dentistry. Pediatric dentistry is essential for youngsters to have healthy teeth and gums. It considers the specific requirements and difficulties during infancy and goes beyond regular dental checkups (Wang, 2023). Pediatric dentists provide the groundwork for optimal dental health throughout a child’s life by concen trating on early intervention, individualized treatments, and preventative care (Krol and Whelan, 2022). They make the dentist’s office a fun place for kids, encouraging them to have good experiences there and teaching their parents how to care for their teeth better (Happykidsdental, 2024). Issues such as thumb-sucking, teething, and assisting youngsters with orthodontic troubles are also part of a pediatric dentist’s expertise (Lin, 2022). Pediatric dentists are medical professionals who focus on children’s oral and dental health (dentalcare.com, 2023). They help children maintain good teeth and jaw development, which benefits their general health. Pediatric dentistry is a subspecialty of general dentistry that focuses on the specific problems and requirements of dental health in children. It covers a lot of ground, from general dental checkups and education to more precise treatments for common problems in children and teenagers (Clinical Affairs Committee, 2012). Dental treatment for children goes beyond just fixing cavities; pediatric dentists also work to alleviate anxiety and promote a good attitude toward the dentist from a young age (Happykidsdental, 2024). Building a solid foundation for excellent dental health throughout a child’s life begins in the early years (Baker, Lee and Wright, 2019). The importance of early interventions in establishing excellent oral hygiene habits and avoiding dental disorders before they happen is acknowledged in this particular area (Krol and Whelan, 2022). Pediatric dentists play a dual role as healthcare practitioners and educators, helping children and their families maintain good oral health and wellness. The field of pediatric dentistry focuses on the dental health and welfare of children from the time they are infants until they reach puberty (Wang, 2023). Encouraging youngsters to form good habits with their teeth and gums is integral to this niche field’s mission to promote dental health (Lin, 2022). The formative years are essential to provide the groundwork for excellent dental health throughout a child’s life.

Aim: To assess the confidence of dentists in provision of dental treatment for children and to explore the status of the current pediatric dental services offered by the dental practitioners. Methodology: A self-structured questionnaire was administered. Data was collected from both academic and non-academic dental practitioners and specialists. Pediatric dentists were excluded from the study. Results: The results show that there is lack of undergraduate training in the subject of pediatric dentistry. Dentists reported low confidence in various pediatric dental procedures. The provision of dental services to the pediatric patients was also observed to be inadequate. Conclusion: The undergraduate education of pediatric dentistry is of paramount importance. The curriculum should be structured in such a way so that it translates into provision of best dental services to the children. There is need for continuing education courses for dentists in pediatric dentistry in order to ensure adequate dental care for children.

Not been a long while since dentistry used to be a family or community-acquainted profession. Utmost of our parents used to visit one or two dentists as family dentists. A single dentist used to care for the dental health of a small community in that area. In a sense, dentistry was more particular. Recently, with adding mindfulness and generation gaps, the conception of a ‘family dentist’ is sluggishly fading. Patients are more apprehensive, want technical treatment, and prefer all specialists under a single roof. Many times agone, private dentists considered their neighbourhood competitive conventions a trouble to their practice. With changing times, the thing which interpreters consider dangerous now is big corporate titans, opening luxurious centers and dental chains across the visage world. With the use of a huge marketing machine and the capability to offer targeted impulses that are grounded on request exploration, corporate dentistry is veritably delicate to contend with. At the same time, it’s arising as a comfortable career option for dentists. A country like India, with around 1 billion population being a huge potent request for corporate dental chains. To tap this largely profitable market corporate or corporate thinking has surfaced.

Dentistry is a client dependent field. Other than the dentist’s skills, the dentist’s appearance has been observed to affect the patient’s perception of the clinician. This research was conducted to assess patient’s perception of the dentist’s appearance based on the dentist’s attire, gender and age. A total number of 492 Malay respondents were involved in this study. A set of questionnaires was randomly distributed via google forms. This questionnaire consisted of three sections, including socio-demographic details of the respondents, patient’s perception towards dentist’s attire and patient’s perception towards dentist’s gender and age. The result showed that respondents consisted of 78% female and 22% male. The highest percentage of participants was in the age group of 18-30 (85.6%), while the lowest percentage of respondents came from the age group of 49-60 (5.3%). The majority of respondents (51%) preferred a dentist who wears a white coat followed by a dentist in scrub (38.2%) and a dentist dressed in formal attires (9.3%). Only 1.4% of respondents selected a dentist who wears casual attire. Participants also prefer dentist in the age group of 41-60 years old, while participants had no preference toward dentist’s gender. A final open-ended question showed respondents also preferred to see dentists with acceptable dental appearance, good behaviour and established qualification. In conclusion, a dentist’s appearance is important to secure a promising interpretation of the patient towards the dentist.

Modern dentistry began as a descendant of barber-surgeons. In 1728, Fauchard of France published Dentist (Le chirurgien dentiste au traité des dents), who defined the scope and nature of modern dentistry. In 1926, Gies of the United States proposed the standardization of the dental curriculum and set goals for dentist education. However, although the framework of the dental curriculum proposed by Gies was excellent, that was ahead of his time, nearly 100 years have already passed. Therefore, we would like to predict the changes in oral care in about 30 years from now in 2024, and look for clues to the direction of change in dental education in Korea accordingly.</br>Due to changes in technology, it is expected that teaching methods using virtual and augmented reality will be universally implemented in dental education. Artificial intelligence is expected to be widely applied in dental care system. The relationship between oral health and systemic health will become clearer, and the importance of preventive dentistry will be further emphasized. The use of digital dentistry and 3D printing is expected to increase, and related education is needed. The dental education system should go beyond the scope of barber dentists and consider further on periodontics and systemic health. As interest in overall health and quality of life will increase, cooperation not only between dentists but also among other professionals such as medical doctors and para-medical/dental specialists will become common and the composition of the Korean population is expected to become diverse. The importance of leadership, communication, and cultural sensitivity in clinical care should be emphasized and educated. Ethics and professionalism must be prioritized in dental care, and students must be educated to become dentists. I think it may be more efficient to focus on improving educational competences and educational content rather than revolutionary change in the curriculum.</br>However, the current society is changing rapidly, and dental medicine at the time when students currently attending dental school become active dentists, will be different from what it is now, and dental education in Korea should be provided to prepare for this.

Abstract This essay focuses on a thirteen-inch-high reclining chair with a carved walnut frame, brass base, and emerald green velvet upholstery in the Winterthur Museum collection [1 and 2]. Created by Ira Salmon of Boston circa 1866, the chair is a patent model and part of Salmon’s efforts to win a professional reputation as a dentist early in his career. This essay documents the transformation of dentistry in America from an itinerant practice in the early republic to a professionalized career in the mid-nineteenth century. It offers evidence of how the material world of dentists changed when tools of the profession became standardized and mass produced. Developing technologies facilitated reclining chairs suited for newfangled operative techniques. The essay also focuses on a period that anticipates the development of germ theory in the early twentieth century and the sterilization of the dentist’s office. In this mid-nineteenth century moment, the aesthetics of dentist offices, and their chairs’ designs, bridge a divide between the traditional values associated with dentists and those ascribed to dentists today. The patent model demonstrates Salmon’s desire to appeal to his clients’ interest by capturing the dramatic potential of a dentist’s visit while satisfying their desire for comfort and expectation of skilful technique.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This article aimed to set into perspective the unique aspects of trust within the dentist–patient relationship by exploring the literature as well as historical aspects of dentistry in the association between trust/distrust and patient anxiety. In order to characterise this uniqueness, the assumptions for trusting in dentistry are compared and contrasted with other professions using a conceptual analysis. The professions of medicine, sociology, psychology, nursing and dentistry were check listed according to the tenets of a concept analytical approach reported by Hupcey et al., in 2001. Recommendations for patient/person-centred care, as opposed to dentist-centred care, that would improve trust are specified according to the literature. These include empowering patients, practicing active listening, empathy and relationship building that might benefit dental patients in relation to the perceived risks of anxiety or induced pain. It was concluded that global distrust of dominating dentists must give way to person-centred professional strategies so that dentists and patients can tackle their dental anxiety-trust challenges, both in the public’s image of the dental profession and in clinical relationships. Future directions would be to explore incentives for dentists to change to patient/person-centred care.

During the last 20 years, there has been considerable growth in the number of dental practices owned by corporate bodies. At present, well over 800 practices are owned by such bodies and they employ over 3000 dentists. This paper describes the factors that have led to this growth and explores the advantages and disadvantages of ‘corporate’ dentistry for patients, dentists, and the dental team. It then considers how and why dental practice may change over the next 20 years and concludes that by 2032 the small one-dentist practice may well be in the past. It is likely that smaller practices will have to work in some form of association if they are to survive. Although their current model is unstable, corporates are likely to adapt to a changing environment. By 2032, in some cases, dentistry may well be taken out of its conventional setting, into supermarkets or a school environment.

AbstractThe Human Resources for Health (HRH) are considered as being crucial for the organization of the health systems and for the population health conditions; in this context, the purpose of this work is 1) to identify the current geographic distribution situation of Brazilian dentists, 2) to identify and analyze the perception and motivations of Brazilian dentists who migrated to the interior of the country. A case study approach was used and the data were collected from different sources (Federal Council of Dentistry, Health Graduation Indicators System, Geocapes, Brazilian National Institute of Geography and Statistics) using the mixed method, from the quantitative-qualitative exploratory sequential model, the qualitative phase was analyzed by using the “grounded theory” approach. The findings point out that the county has a great stock of dentists and that it significantly increased in recent years; however, it is poorly distributed over the territory, particularly when the differences between the interior and the capitals of the country are analyzed. The main category of the grounded theory was “The opportunities changing the ways to consolidate the professional”; the interviews point out that the dentists’ place of birth and the opportunities over their professional career were crucial to determine the distribution of dentists throughout the Brazilian territory. It’s concluded that Brazil has a dentistry workforce stock; however, it faces the results of the lack of HRH regulation policies which include dentistry. Such reality enhances the health gaps in some country regions and market saturation in major urban centers. Keywords: Dentistry. Dental Staff. Job Market. Public Policy. ResumoOs Recursos Humanos em Saúde (RHS) são considerados fundamentais para a organização dos sistemas de saúde e para as condições de saúde de uma população, nesse contexto o objetivo desse trabalho é 1) identificar a situação atual da distribuição geográfica de dentistas brasileiros 2) identificar e analisar a percepção e motivações de dentistas brasileiros que migraram para o interior do país. Foi utilizada a abordagem de estudo de caso e os dados foram coletados a partir de diferentes fontes (Conselho Federal de Odontologia, Sistema de Indicadores das Graduações em Saúde, Geocapes, Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística), utilizando o método misto, a partir do modelo exploratório sequencial quantitativo-qualitativo, a fase qualitativa foi analisada por meio da abordagem da “teoria fundamentada”. Os achados apontam que o país apresenta um grande estoque de dentista, e que houve uma grande expansão nos últimos anos, no entanto este apresenta-se mal distribuídos pelo território, principalmente quando analisado as diferenças entre o interior e as capitais do país. A categoria central da teoria fundamentada foi “As oportunidades mudando os caminhos para consolidar o profissional”, as entrevistas apontam que o local de nascimento dos dentistas e as oportunidades durante sua trajetória profissional foram decisivas para determinar a distribuição de dentistas no território brasileiro. Conclui-se, que o Brasil apresenta estoque de força de trabalho em odontologia, porém enfrenta os resultados da falta de políticas de regulação de RHS, que inclua a odontologia. Essa realidade acentua os vazios sanitários em algumas regiões do país e saturação do mercado nos grandes centros. Palavras-chave: Odontologia. Recursos Humanos em Odontologia. Mercado de Trabalho.

Relevance. In connection with the development of Hi-Hume high humanitarian technologies, named so by analogy with Hi-Tech high technologies, it seems relevant to consider the problem of techno-humanitarian balance (THB) in modern dentistry. This is due, in particular, to the fact that today the vector of interests of dentists is often shifted towards Hi-Tech, and they do not always pay due attention to Hi-Hume issues.
The main purpose of the work. To draw the attention of dentists to the significance of the THB problem in their professional activities.
Used approaches. An analytical approach has been applied to the study of various points of view on the concept of Hi-Hume. The provisions of legislative and by-laws related to the implementation of the principles of humanism and the provision of adequate regulatory mechanisms for the use of new medical technologies have been studied. A survey of 100 respondents (50 dentists, 50 medical students) was conducted.
Results. Using the questionnaire method, the relation of dentists and medical students to the importance of high technologies (Hi-Tech), high humanitarian technologies (Hi-Hume), as well as their adequate balance for the development of modern dentistry, is shown. It is noted that dentists attached more importance to the importance of Hi-Tech (intraoral scanning, 3D printing, microprosthetics using milling, etc.) in the development of modern dentistry in comparison with Hi-Hume (realization of the patient's personal potential when providing dental care). Three variants of the ratio of humanitarian and technological aspects in dentistry are considered.
Main conclusions. When using Hi-Hume in dentistry, one should single out not so much the technological (instrumental) as the value aspect. Despite the difficulties in achieving an adequate THB of the actual practice of a dentist, the desire for it should not be questioned. When analyzing a specific medical technology, the possibility of unreasonably restraining influence of social norms on its implementation into practice should be excluded.

Introduction: Several studies have shown that a dentist’s gender and nationality are important factors for patients when they choose their dentist. This topic is important in countries like Saudi Arabia, which is considered to be conservative and has many cultural boundaries that separate men from women in daily activities. Aim: This study aimed to investigate patient preference for a dentist’s gender among a sample population in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Methods: This cross-sectional study recruited 1,000 participants who completed a self-administered questionnaire. Data were analyzed using SPSS v.21. Results: A total of 46.2% of the participants had no particular gender preference for dentists in general, while 28.6% prefered male dentists and 25.2% prefered female dentists. Male and female participants had statistically significant differences in the selection of a dentist’s gender in general, with all participants tending to choose a dentist of the same gender as themselves. Previous personal experience and recommendations from friends were among the most influential factors in choosing dentists of a specific gender. In terms of preferences for dentists of a particular nationality, 45.6% had no preferences, while 28.4% preferred Saudi dentists. Conclusion: Although half of the Jeddah residents participating in our study had no preference for dentists of a particular gender or nationality, the other half had specific preferences.

Objectives. The worldwide interest of both dentists and patients in esthetic dentistry has affected decision-making in dental practice. The aim of this study was to investigate contemporary dental practice in restorative dentistry and the relationship between evidence-based dentistry in caries research and decision-making in clinical practice in restorative dentistry. Methods. The study was conducted through a structured questionnaire distributed randomly at the Jordanian Dental Association registered dentists in Jordan. The questionnaire aimed to clarify the degree of knowledge and practice of evidence-based dentistry in caries research the dentists hold regarding clinical decision-making in restorative dentistry. Results. The majority of the surveyed dentists (77%) treat teeth with irreversible pulpitis with root canal treatment rather than vital pulp therapy. 13.8% routinely insert a post and 23% routinely crown the tooth after root canal treatment regardless of the remaining tooth structure. Badly damaged teeth are treated with full crowns in 72% of the cases. Regarding Hollywood smile or smile makeover, the majority of dentists choose conservative approaches, and implants were the first choice to replace missing teeth for 93.8% of the surveyed dentists. Conclusion. A higher degree of implementation of evidence-based dentistry in clinical decision-making was found in Prosthetic Dentistry than in Endodontics. Yet, the gap between evidence-based data and clinical practice needs bridging. More emphasis on communicating these data to educators to integrate them into the dental curriculum is a must.

The problem of the development of emotional burnout syndrome in dentists is one of the most urgent problems of modern medicine. Currently, the authors do not have a single point of view on the essence of emotional burnout. Emotional burnout affects both the doctor and the patient. The solution to this problem requires further research.
Objective. Based on the literature data, to identify the main factors of the development of emotional burnout of dentists, to analyze the existing strategies for overcoming stress and to determine which of them are applicable in the work of a dentist.
Methods. The search for literature sources was carried out in three databases (e-library, PubMed, Web of Science) according to the keywords: “burnout syndrome in dentistry”, “burnout in dentistry”, “emotional stress in dentistry”, “strategies for overcoming stress in dentistry”, “coping strategies in dentistry”, “emotionally charged situations in dentistry”. 130 literary sources were analyzed. Criteria for inclusion: literature reviews, research, and articles on the personal point of view of specialists on the problem of emotional burnout, and on strategies for coping with stress in certified dentists. Exclusion criteria: articles on emotional burnout, stress, and depression in dental students.
Results. Based on the analyzed literature on the topic of the development of emotional burnout syndrome in dentists, there is no single point of view on the essence of emotional burnout. Some authors consider it as a type of stress, othersthe result of the influence of stressful factors, against which pathological processes develop, such as: headache, problems of the cardiovascular system, exacerbation of chronic diseases, pain in the spine. The psychological state of burnout can adversely affect a person’s health, family relationships, and service interactions.
Conclusion. This paper presents the main approaches to determining the essence of the burnout syndrome, a systematic analysis and generalization of materials on the problem in the professional activities of dentists. Emotional burnout affects both the doctor and the patient. The solution to this problem requires further research.

Forensic dentistry dates back more than 200 years. Yet Oscar Amoedo, a Cuban-born dentist, is considered the father of forensic dentistry. He emphasized the dentists’ role in humans’ identification and laid down the general principles of dental identification in his dissertation in 1989. Dental experts must have interdisciplinary knowledge to do his or her job. From the teeth development through the type of materials of various restorations and the appearance of specific diseases, he/she has to consider the entire oral cavity. As it happens today, for the last 60-70 years too, the victim’s dentist testified the positive match by the dental identification. Nowadays, there are available plaster models, paper or digital based patient records, x-rays to support forensic dentistry. In the future, digital technology will make identification even faster and more accurate, and based on the patients’ 3D digital models, CBCT images, or palate samples, artificial intelligence (AI) guided computers will be making identifications even without any human assistance.

The aim of this study was to identify the current state of pediatric dentists, evaluate the adequacy of pediatric dentist supply and demand, and find out the perception of all pediatric dentists on the current state of pediatric dentists and policy establishment. An Online survey was conducted among pediatric dentists. The questionnaire was subdivided into ‘general characteristics’, ‘number of dental treatments and working days per year’, ‘proportion of covered services’, ‘perceptions of supply and demand of pediatric dentists’. Through the Korean Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Services, the National Health Insurance Service (NHIS), and the Korean Statistical Information Service, the current state of pediatric dentists, the number of claims for covered services, and the decrease in births per year were investigated. Dental clinics claiming to be pediatric dentistry reached half of all medical institutions, but only 3.78% of pediatric dentists actually worked. 61.36% of all pediatric dentists were concentrated in the metropolitan area, showing a national imbalance. Although the population of children and adolescents have continuously decreased over the past 20 years, the number of NHIS-covered services has shown a continuous increase. Over the past 10 years, the optimal supply of pediatric dentists has been maintained at around 4,000. According to the analysis, 92.15% of pediatric dentists thought that it was necessary to prepare policies and support measures at the government level. This study is expected to be used as basic data for establishing a demand estimation method for pediatric dentistry specialists in the future.

Dentistry is an entrepreneurially oriented public interest profession that must maintain a balance between professional specificity and business sustainability. Communicating with patients is vital in a competitive system, and the dentist needs to use handy resources such as websites and social media. The aim of this research is (a) to examine whether websites and social networks are a digital entrepreneurship tool used in the dentistry profession in Oradea, a city in full economic development in Romania, to promote the profession nationally and internationally, (b) to compare the changes made using digital tools in the period between 2018–2021 for all licensed dentists in the mentioned city (between 430–450 people, depending on the stage of analysis) using the content analysis method and (c) to identify how the lockdown period imposed by the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic influenced not only the sustainability of the medical services provided to the population but also the communication practices of the dental offices. The results of examining the dentist’s online presence reveal that there is an interest among practitioners to grow their business sustainably through a digital presence that is increasingly relevant to them and their clients, but the potential remains under-exploited.

Purpose of study To obtain responses to a questionnaire on likely trends in the clinical practice of restorative dentistry from a national sample of general dental practitioners (GDPs) who were principals of group practices in the UK. Basic procedures A panel of nine experts had been convened previously to define areas of trends in restorative dentistry in the UK and to formulate these into statements. Twenty trends were identified and framed into a 22-item questionnaire based on the trend statements. The questionnaire was sent to a national sample of 2800 principal dentists in group practices. Names of principal dentists were taken from the Yellow Pages directories, a group practice being defined as at least one principal dentist and one other practitioner. Levels of agreement for questionnaire scores of ≥70% for all segments of a statement were taken as indicating a possible trend. Main findings Of the 2800 questionnaires sent out, 1448 were returned, a return rate of 52%. Of these, 1217 questionnaires were usable, an overall response rate of 44%. Good agreement was obtained for 14 statements (64%). Principal conclusion: The 14 trend statements that scored a level of good agreement were taken as indicating possible trends in dentistry in the UK as perceived by those GDPs who responded to the questionnaire. However, in view of the fact that the 1217 usable questionnaires received reflected the opinions of 10% of the principal dentists in group practice in the UK, this will not be representative of all principal dentists in practice. Nevertheless for the purposes of gaining some insight into trends in restorative dentistry, it could be considered to be of value.

Antibiotics 10, n. 10 (28 settembre 2021): 1181. http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/antibiotics10101181.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Background: Antibiotics are widely used in dentistry. Dentists often provide antibiotics unnecessarily. Excessive use can induce resistant bacterial strains. There are certain indications for the proper use of antibiotics for pediatric dentistry according to the European and American Pediatric Dentistry (EAPD and AAPD). Very often dentists do not follow these guidelines. Objectives: This study aims to examine the level of knowledge among general dentists (who also treat children) and pediatric dentists on proper use of antibiotics. In addition, we examined whether there is unjustified use of antibiotics, if dentists are aware of the new and conservative approach of administering antibiotics to patients, and whether there is a relationship between years of professional seniority and dentist’s knowledge level of proper use of antibiotics. Methods: One hundred general dentists (GD) who treat children in addition to 100 pediatric dentists (PD) completed the study questionnaires which measured knowledge, practice and attitudes regrading using antibiotics during dental treatment among children. Results: The general average of level of knowledge on proper use of antibiotics among general dentists was relatively low for both GD (60.7%) and PDs (65%). PDs demonstrated a relatively greater knowledge of correct use of antibiotics, especially in cases of endodontics and trauma. PDs also showed higher awareness to latest guidelines for the admission of “prophylactic antibiotics” according to the American Association (AAPD) and/or the European Union (EAPD) compared with GDs (86.2% vs. 66.3%). Conclusion: The level of knowledge of both general dentists and pediatric dentists is poor, with a large percentage of dentists from both groups not knowing whether antibiotics are needed in a specific dental case or not. Compliance with the EAPD/AAPD guidelines is also low and inadequate. The method of prescribing antibiotics given by dentists can be improved by increasing awareness, educational initiatives, and postgraduate courses among dentists regarding the recommended indications.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi conhecer, através de revisão da literatura, a atuação do cirurgião-dentista especialista em Odontologia Legal dentro de sua capacidade na identificação humana e utilização da documentação odontológica, bem como negligência na publicidade e exposição inadequada de paciente. Trata-se de uma revisão da literatura artigos científicos dos últimos 10 anos. Sobre a odontologia legal e documentação odontológica, foi observado que a atuação do dentista elevou os conhecimentos específicos da equipe, melhorando o desdobramento dos casos, e toda documentação de origem odontológica foi muito importante para chegar a conclusões e definições de laudos periciais, possibilitando que a corpos não identificados fosse dado, então, sua real identidade e processos jurídicos fossem esclarecidos. Conclui-se que a atuação da odontologia legal dá um acréscimo bastante expressivo nos resultados dos quais participam, e toda equipe de forense deveria contar com um dentista para alavancar seus conhecimentos e dar mais resultados na busca pela verdade e identidade de cadáver.
THE IMPORTANCE OF FORENSIC ODONTOLOGISTS AND DENTAL RECORDS TO FORENSIC AND LEGAL RESOLUTIONS
ABSTRACT
Forensic Dentistry is an important dental science to legal investigations of negligence or recklessness cases in ethical processes and can be related to the search for biological identity, such as identification of unidentified bodies with the aid of dental records. This paper aimed to understand, through literature review, the performance of dental surgeons in Forensic Dentistry in terms of her/his capacity for human identification and use of dental records, as well as negligence in the publicity and inadequate exposition of the patient. It is a literature review of scientific papers from the last 10 years. It was used the database LILACS SciELO, by means of the descriptors “Forensic Dentistry; Forensic Anthropology; Legal liability”. Concerning Forensic Dentistry and dental records, it was observed that the dentist’s performance increased the dental team’s specific knowledge, improving the development of cases and all documentation of odontological origin was important to achieve conclusions and definitions of legal reporting, making possible that unidentified bodies have their real identity and legal processes would be resolved. It is concluded that forensic dentistry gives an improvement in the results of the cases that they enroll, and all the forensic team should have one forensic dentist to raise their knowledge and give more results in the search for the truth and body identity.

A drug is defined as a chemical substance which alters functions of living organisms. These are used as a medication for the diagnosis, prevention, control or for treatment of a disease. Drugs effects depend on various factors such as body size, general health of individual, amount and strength of medication and whether one drug is taken or two are taken at same time. Dentists also use certain medications for management of some health conditions which affect oral cavity. Medications used in dentistry may be used for management of pain, prevention of diseases or fight against infections. These can also be used before or after any dental procedure to reduce pain or discomfort and also to prevent complications associated with dental procedure. These drugs may also develop variable adverse effects such as headache, skin rashes, nausea, sweating, lack of appetite etc depending on type, and dose of drug taken. Medications used in dentistry include anaesthetics, pain killers, antibiotics, antiviral drugs and antifungal etc. This paper provides an insight to the various medications, their role in dentistry & how they can help a dentist.

Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a method that allows a three-dimensional evaluation of hard craniofacial structures with a lower radiation dose than classic CT. This method began to be used more and more frequently in dentistry. Background: The aim of the study was to evaluate the frequency for use of CBCT in dentistry. Methods: The study was addressed to dentists of various specialties from Oltenia region that completed an online questionnaire with 10 questions. Data were collected regarding the physician's specialty, the type of interventions for which the dentist recommends CBCT, how necessary this investigation is considered, and how invasive it is considered to be. The questionnaire was launched online for a period of 4 weeks, and dentists from the Oltenia region were invited to participate. The statistical analysis was carried out with the help of the Google Docs program, the section dedicated to forms, "Google Forms". Results: Young doctors chose this technology more frequently than doctors with more than 5 years of experience. Although implant planning is the primary reason for CBCT imaging in dentistry, CBCT is increasingly being used for other diagnostic purposes, such as periodontics and endodontics. In nearly 20% of cases, the primary diagnosis and/or treatment plan was changed following CBCT evaluation. Conclusions: There is an increasing trend in the use of CBCT in dentistry, especially by young graduates.

ABSTRACT Introduction Parental presence/absence in the dental operatory (also called: Parent-in—parent-out technique) is an extremely controversial aspect of the nonpharmacological BMTs. Historically, dentists used to exclude parents from dental operatory to avoid their interference with the dentist's aptitude to build a rapport and relationship with the child, hence increasing the child management problems by disrupting treatment and making the dentist unfocused and uncomfortable. Aim The purpose of this article is to review and emphasize on the importance of parental presence/absence in the dental operatory, especially in a certain age group, as a behavior management technique (BMT) in pediatric dentistry, and to present a modified view of this technique. Results This article reviews the current literature concerning behavior management in pediatric dentistry. It includes a medline database search and review of the comprehensive textbooks in pediatric dentistry. Some recommendations were based on the opinions of experienced researchers and clinicians. Conclusion Parent-in—parent-out technique in dental operatory is advocated to gain emotional support and avoid the effect of traumatic separation, especially in younger children or special health-care needs patients. Clinical significance The parent-in—parent-out technique in dental operatory is underused, or misused. This article clarifies the proper use of this technique along with a minor modification to it to make it more effective on young apprehensive dental patients.

Pediatric dentists come across a variety of cases in their day to day practice that requires quick intervention in order to enhance or restore children's smile and functions in the oral cavity. Ribbond is one such material, which has occupied an important place in the dentist's repertoire. Ribbond can be used as an alternative to conventional treatment in pediatric dentistry. This case report demonstrates usage of Ribbond as a space maintainer, a fixed partial denture with an acrylic tooth pontic, an endodontic post and a splint material in children. Ribbond combines high-strength fibers with enhanced bondability and patented crosslink lock-stitch leno weave. Ribbond's strength, esthetics, and bondability make it useful for multiple applications in clinical pediatric dentistry.

Background: ‘Emotional dissonance’ (the discrepancy between the felt and expressed emotions) could occur in dentistry due to the challenge of pacifying patients irrespective of the dentist’s state of mind and could influence their performance. The presence of certain factors could minimize this though. Our aim was to examine the role of ‘optimism’ and ‘relation with colleagues’ in buffering the effect of emotional dissonance on the performance of dentists.Methods: Emotional dissonance’ was evaluated among 390 dentists of Hyderabad using Zapf scale; ‘optimism’ using 3-items adapted from ‘The Life Orientation Test (LOT)’, ‘relation with colleagues’ assessed with a self-constructed 4-item scale and the ‘performance of a dentist’ using 6 items picked from Goodman scale. Regression analysis was done using SPSS 24, to predict the influence of ‘optimism’ and ‘relation with colleagues’ on the ‘performance’ of dentists in dissonance.Results: Emotional dissonance was found to be negatively related to dentists’ performance. ‘Optimism’ (p=0.018) and ‘relation with colleagues’ (p=0.039) significantly predicted their performance when under dissonance, but in the negative direction.Conclusions: The results necessitate the need to identify various resources to handle dissonance owing to its intensity found in the present study.

Pierre Fauchard (1678–1761) is considered the father of modern dentistry. His seminal book, Le Chirurgien Dentiste, ou Traité des Dents (1728), is the discipline’s first complete work. During the five years preceding its publication (1723–1728), Pierre Fauchard sought the opinions, contributions, and “ approbation” (approval) of 19 of his colleagues: six physicians, 12 surgeons, and one dentist. The first and most important contributor to the manuscript was Jean Devaux, surgeon and mentor to Fauchard. The next six reviewers were illustrious physicians and scientists of the time: Philippe Hecquet, Jean-Claude Adrien Helvetius, Jean Baptiste Silva, Antoine DeJussieu, Raymond Jacob Finot, and Antoine Benignus Winslow. The subsequent 12 reviewers were all sworn-surgeons (certified by St. Côme), including a lone dentist, Laudumiey, surgeon-dentist to His Majesty, Philip V, King of Spain. Fauchard knew that for dentistry to be regarded as a learned profession, and perhaps for Fauchard to be recognized as its leader, he needed the support and approval of the establishment before publishing his book. This is an account of how he attained this endorsement.

Dentistry's significant environmental impact and resource-intensive nature are concerning issues. Factors such as the environmental effects of biomaterials throughout lifecycle, radiation usage, and hazardous waste generation, including mercury and lead, need careful consideration. To counteract the environmental consequences of global warming, there is a growing global push to incorporate sustainability and green solutions. In response, dentists must transition from conventional practices to sustainable ones, embracing "green dentistry," which integrates sustainable development principles into dental care, underpinned by the 4 R’s: Reduce, Reuse, Rethink, and Recycle. To assess the knowledge, attitude, and practices of dental professionals towards green dentistry, a questionnaire-based study was conducted. The search for relevant literature encompassed terms like "green dentistry," "eco-friendly dentistry," "recycling dental waste," and "sustainability in dentistry" through PubMed from 2001 to 2023, including English-language scientific and grey literature. Analysis of dental professionals' responses revealed notable disparities in eco-friendly dentistry knowledge between postgraduates (97.1%) and undergraduates (84.7%). Postgraduates exhibited better awareness of sterilization pouch disposal (68.1% vs. 49.2%) and mercury waste (85.5% vs. 61.9%). A substantial 82.9% recognized the potential for equipment recycling. While 16 articles were found from the PubMed database, spanning 2001 to 2023, originating from various sources, a broader exploration of quantitative and qualitative data on extraction was limited. There's a dearth of national research trends in this field. The study participants displayed satisfactory awareness of eco-dentistry, along with reasonable attitudes and adoption rates. However, continuous high-quality research is essential to comprehensively understand the impacts of environmentally friendly dental practices.

Background: A dentist is responsible for promoting oral health and disease prevention to make the world a better place in terms of oral health. Besides, the dentist also plays an important role in the forensic field and law enforcement. Forensic odontology is an area of dentistry that deals with the proper management and investigation of dental evidence, which aids in identifying people and the presentation of dental evidence in the interest of justice. Purpose: This article discussed the role and responsibilities of dentists in human identification. Review: The world continues to deteriorate as time passes with much criminality and disasters that cannot be prevented. In many cases, the identification process can be done through the unique characteristics of dentition. Various information such as age, sex, and ethnicity are recorded in the tooth. Forensic dentists are responsible to manage and evaluate tooth evidence. Conclusion: Forensic odontology plays an essential role in determining individual identity. The unique features of dentition provide accurate results in identification if all procedures are correctly employed. With the advancement of science and technology, dentistry may now assist in the identification and investigation of forensic cases.

ABSTRACT Introduction Awareness of gender- or nationality-driven preconceptions can help dentists to have a better interpretation of the dentist-patient relationship. It is even more noteworthy to understand these predilections in Saudi society, where women and men are usually segregated due to religion- and culturebased considerations. This study is one of the first to explore the preferences of patients when selecting a dentist with respect to gender and nationality in the city of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Materials and methods A total of 445 community residents residing in Riyadh were randomly selected for a cross-sectional study. The participants completed a survey designed to assess which of two factors (gender and/or nationality) were perceived as most relevant in choosing a dentist. Statistical analysis of the data was performed using the SPSS 11.5 software. Results Female participants did not show any preference for the gender of the dentist, whereas 40% of the male participants preferred a male dentist. Participants also favored male dentists in the fields of oral surgery (78.9%), implants (74.1%), endodontics (67.5%), orthodontics (65.8%) and prosthodontics (64.2%). An exception was noted in pediatric dentistry, for which female dentists were favored by 52.8% of the participants. Additionally, most (66.1%) participants did not have any preference for the nationality of the dentist. Conclusion Riyadh residents showed a general preference for a male dentist but demonstrated no preference for nationality when selecting a dentist.
