Evaluating referrals to three urban specialist mental health services for people experiencing homelessness over a 1-year period
Background: There are high numbers of people experiencing homelessness (PEH) in Ireland. PEH have complex needs, and have higher rates of mental disorder than their housed counterparts. To date, there has been limited research conducted on this population, and their specific needs. Aims: In this study, we explored the demand for the three specialist mental health services for people experiencing homelessness (MHSPEH) in Dublin by evaluating all r…
Three‐year Root Caries Incidence and Risk Modeling in Older Adults in North Carolina
These findings suggest that older blacks had less risk of root caries than whites, and in both groups indicators of poor periodontal status increased the risk of root caries
Risk Factors for Dental Fluorosis in Pediatric Dental Patients
This study provided evidence that increased use of fluoride toothpaste may be a risk factor for dental fluorosis. The results suggest prudent use of dentifrice by young children to minimize the risk of fluorosis
Differences between Racial Groups in the Impact of Oral Disorders among Older Adults in North Carolina
Older dentate blacks reported more impact from oral problems than older dentate whites. The differences in reported impact likely are linked to differences in oral status and dental visit history between these two racial groups in North Carolina
Eighteen-month incidence of tooth loss among older adults in North Carolina
This study investigated tooth loss in North Carolina adults 65 years of age or older. A random sample of 335 Blacks and 284 Whites participated in dental examinations and interviews at baseline and again after 18 months. Blacks were more likely than Whites to lose at least one tooth (36% vs 19%), and they lost more teeth on average (1.0 vs 0.4). Several oral disease conditions and symptoms were related to tooth loss, but many other hypothesized f…
Eighteen‐month Coronal Caries Incidence in North Carolina Older Adults
In this longitudinal study of a random sample of North Carolinians over the age of 65 and living in their homes, 325 blacks and 280 whites were examined and interviewed 18 months after baseline examinations. Coronal caries incidence was greater among whites than blacks. The increment due to teeth becoming root fragments were similar for both races; however, there were more newly crowned teeth among whites. Newly crowned surfaces were not used as …
Assessing Dental Practice Quality by Evaluating Radiology Items
The DEMCAD dental office assessment instrument was developed to evaluate practice quality using Donebedian's quality assessment model of structure, process, and outcome. This previously validated instrument takes about six hours to complete. Subsequent analysis was undertaken to determine whether an abbreviated office assessment based on the evaluation of radiology items was sufficiently sensitive, specific, and practical to be used as a screenin…

The Prevalence of Periodontal Attachment Loss in an Iowa Population Aged 70 and Older
Survey dental examinations were conducted in 262 dentate elderly people aged 70 and older and residing in two rural Iowa counties. Over 60 percent of the elderly in these countries were dentate. Buccal and mesial sites of all teeth were assessed for gingival recession, pocket depth, and attachment loss. Mean loss of periodontal attachment was 2.1 mm, and was slightly greater in older age groups and in men. More gingival recession was found on buc…
Effect of Residence in a Fluoridated Community on the Incidence of Coronal and Root Caries in an Older Adult Population
Eighteen-month caries incidence among older adult residents of fluoridated and nonfluoridated communities was compared. Rates for both coronal and root caries were consistently lower among long-term residents of the fluoridated communities than among life-long residents of nonfluoridated communities. Coronal caries incidence was significantly lower for people who had resided in fluoridated communities for more than 30 years (1.95 vs 1.33 surfaces…
Incidence of Coronal and Root Caries in an Older Adult Population
Incidence rates for new root caries and new coronal caries in noninstitutionalized older adults are unknown. In this study, a representative sample of 451 elderly Iowans received dental examinations at the start of the study and again after 18 months. This dentate cohort had a mean of 0.87 new surfaces of coronal decay per person per year and a mean of 0.57 new surfaces of root decay per person per year. Coronal caries occurred at an annual rate …
Incidence of tooth loss among elderly Iowans
This study investigated the 18-month incidence of tooth loss in a random sample of 451 dentate noninstitutionalized Iowans aged 65 and older residing in two rural counties. They had a mean of 19.0 teeth at baseline and lost an average of 0.4 teeth during the subsequent 18 months. Twenty-one per cent of the population lost at least one tooth. Four people had all their teeth extracted. Of the teeth present at baseline, 1.9 per cent subsequently wer…
Methodological Considerations in a Dental Epidemiologic Survey of an Elderly Population
The proportion of the US population that is age 65 or over is increasing and edentulism rates are declining. The community's elderly population is becoming an increasingly important constituency for dental public health. Little is known, however, about the actual oral health status of these people. An assessment of oral health in the elderly presents many considerations not found in an assessment of oral health among children. The selection of su…
Edentulism and oral health problems among elderly rural Iowans
A household health interview survey of 3,673 noninstitutionalized people aged 65 and over in two rural Iowa counties included questions about loss of teeth, use of dentures, and presence of oral health problems. Edentulism rates were 10-15 per cent lower than those found a decade earlier in national health surveys. A log-linear analysis found that the best demographic predictors of edentulism were education, age, and marital status. Spouses tende…
