Oral health status and perceived barriers to care among older adults in Alabama, United States: An observational community case study of prevalence and associated risk factors
Objective: Limited data exists on the oral health status of the older adult population of Alabama. Improved surveillance programs are needed for estimations and planning. Aim: This study describes oral health status and barriers to routine dental services utilization among older adults in central Alabama. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted using observational surveillance data from older adults attending senior centers and senior liv…
Feasibility and acceptability of home delivery of water for dental caries control in Latinx children—“Sediento por una Sonrisa,” Thirsty for a Smile: Single-arm feasibility study
Background: Outcomes of surgical treatments under general anesthesia for early childhood caries of young children from low-income groups are poor requiring retreatment within 2 years. Dietary sugar is an ideal intervention target given that it is the most prominent risk factor for dental caries and there is increasing evidence of successful interventions to reduce its intake. Our aim is to investigate the feasibility and acceptability of the Thir…
Caregiver satisfaction with interim silver diamine fluoride applications for their children with caries prior to operating room treatment or sedation
By arresting caries, SDF offers an intermediate care path for pediatric patients for whom OR/sedation treatment was not immediately available. Moreover, most caregivers were satisfied with SDF treatment for their children
A Prospective Study of Clinical Outcomes Related to Third Molar Removal or Retention
Objectives. We investigated outcomes of third molar removal or retention in adolescents and young adults. Methods. We recruited patients aged 16 to 22 years from a dental practice–based research network in the Pacific Northwest from May 2009 through September 2010 who had at least 1 third molar present and had never undergone third molar removal. Data were acquired via questionnaire and clinical examination at baseline, periodic online questionna…
Recommendations for Third Molar Removal: A Practice-Based Cohort Study
Objectives. We investigated general dentists’ reasons for recommending removal or retention of third molars and whether patients adhered to dentists’ recommendations. Methods. In a 2-year prospective cohort study (2009–2011) in the Pacific Northwest, we followed 801 patients aged 16 to 22 years from 50 general dental practices. Generalized estimating equations logistic regressions related patient and dentist characteristics to dentists' recommend…
Efeitos da poluição do ar na função respiratória de escolares, Rio de Janeiro, RJ
OBJETIVO: Analisar a associação entre exposição diária à poluição do ar e função respiratória de escolares. MÉTODOS: Estudo de painel com uma amostra aleatória de 118 escolares (seis a 15 anos de idade) da rede pública do Rio de Janeiro (RJ), residentes até 2 km do local do estudo. Dados sobre características das crianças foram obtidos por questionário, incluindo o International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood. Exames diários de pico d…
