Periodontal therapy among patients with cardiovascular disease
Introduction Cardiovascular disease (CVD) and periodontal disease are prevalent chronic conditions that share common risk factors and may be linked through systemic inflammation. Emerging evidence suggests that individuals with periodontal disease are more likely to be diagnosed with CVD, potentially influencing health care costs. Methods This study analyzed deidentified commercial insurance claims data from 192,500 United States (U. S.) adults a…

Understanding Utilization and Prevention Measures Associated With a Caries Risk Assessment in Oral Health Transformation
The utilization of the ADA CRA CDT codes, designed to stratify patients into caries risk categories of low, moderate, or high, was relatively low compared to the examination and prevention procedure claims. Consistent utilization of these codes would allow for more effective monitoring of patient outcomes, supporting a data-driven approach to assessing oral health over time
Dental anxiety and oral health in American Indian and Alaska natives
Dental distrust and dental anxiety can significantly impact oral health and dental utilization in AI/AN communities and are important intervention targets to improve AI/AN oral health
Teledentistry utilization by oral health professionals and policy considerations
Oral health professionals' knowledge of and experiences with teledentistry need to be considered when developing policy and best practices for the use of teledentistry for patient care
Discrimination and Dignity Experiences in Prior Oral Care Visits Predict Racialized Oral Health Inequities Among Nationally Representative US Adults
Racism, an oppressive and fallacious sociopolitical hierarchy, is a fundamental cause of oral health inequities worldwide. Everyday discrimination is associated with worse self-rated oral health, toothache and adult tooth loss, and lower oral care utilization. Few studies examine discrimination or microaggressions within oral care settings or their effects on oral health outcomes. We adapted the seven-item Everyday Discrimination Scale to the ora…
The impact of underutilization of preventive dental care by adult Medicaid participants
Regular preventive dental care in the lookback period was associated with significant savings in overall dental care costs when compared to dental care costs for those individuals who received no or few preventive visits. Prior preventive dental care was also associated with lower rates of ED-NTDC utilization, oral surgery, and dental-related opioid prescriptions
Estimation of oral disease burden from claims and self‐reported data
Claims data has the potential to serve as a proxy measure for the estimate of dental disease burden in a population
The Effect of Well Child Visit Location on Preventative Dental Visit
Recent emphasis has been placed on the integration of dental and medical primary care in an effort to promote recommendations from both American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) that highlight the importance of preventing, intervening, and managing oral disease in childhood. The study aims to provide a population level insight into the role of location of service of medical well-child visit (WCV) and …
Understanding value in oral health
The oral health community is experiencing multiple drivers to adopt more OHVBC within business and care models. However, there is still a lack of uniformity on how to execute this delivery model
More Care
The results of this analysis demonstrated that MORE Care is effective in creating an operational structure for integrating oral health care into primary care practices and most successful when participating clinics meet success criteria
System level interventions to reduce utilization of general anesthesia to treat dental caries
Dental caries are the most common chronic disease of childhood. Untreated caries can result in severe pain and infection; and in some cases, difficulties in eating, speech, and education. Hospitalization and general anesthesia are often necessary for treating extensive disease in young children, which adds significant risk and expense. Interventions, such as community-based preventative care, utilization of pre-authorizations for treatment, and a…
Trends in non‐traumatic dental emergency department use in New York and New Jersey
The experiences in NY and NJ suggest that the timing of expansion had significant effects on payer distribution for NTDCs. Racial disparities continue exist with black individuals disproportionately accessing EDs for NTDCs
New Dimensions of Tolerance
Most social scientific research on tolerance rests upon two assumptions: 1) that tolerance is mainly concerned with the extension of political rights, and 2) that the concept is best understood as a unidimensional continuum of attitudes that are more or less tolerant. We argue that to have a fuller understanding of tolerance, we must transcend these two assumptions to develop a concept that is multidimensional. We use latent class analysis and co…

Profiles of Anticipated Support
In this article we analyze the role of religion in the composition of Americans' networks of anticipated emotional support. Drawing on data from the National Survey of Religion and Family Life, which contains information on multiple sources of potential emotional support, we use latent class analysis to uncover four different anticipated support profiles, which are organized along two dimensions of variation: religiosity and breadth. We label the…
Relieving the Time Squeeze? Effects of a White-Collar Workplace Change on Parents
Employed parents perceive a time squeeze even as trends from the 1960s show they are spending more time with their children. Work conditions (e.g., hours and schedule control) would seem to affect both parents' time with children and perceived time squeeze, but most studies rely on cross-sectional data that do not establish causality. The authors examined the effects of the introduction of a workplace flexibility initiative (Results Only Work Env…
Religion as Cultural Power
In this article, we describe recent research that explores the power of religion to influence understandings of gender and sexuality in the United States. We argue that sociologists of religion should draw from symbolic boundaries theory, a theoretical innovation in the sociology of culture. In particular, we discuss a rich body of research in the sociology of religion to show how Americans use religious tools to draw boundaries around ideal and …
Changing Workplaces to Reduce Work-Family Conflict
Work-family conflicts are common and consequential for employees, their families, and work organizations. Can workplaces be changed to reduce work-family conflict? Previous research has not been able to assess whether workplace policies or initiatives succeed in reducing work-family conflict or increasing work-family fit. Using longitudinal data collected from 608 employees of a white-collar organization before and after a workplace initiative wa…
Changing Work, Changing Health
This article investigates a change in the structuring of work time, using a natural experiment to test whether participation in a corporate initiative (Results Only Work Environment; ROWE) predicts corresponding changes in health-related outcomes. Drawing on job strain and stress process models, we theorize greater schedule control and reduced work-family conflict as key mechanisms linking this initiative with health outcomes. Longitudinal survey…
Shared Visions? Diversity and Cultural Membership in American Life
Sociological theory and public discourse raise concerns about division, fragmentation, or attenuation in our collective life rooted in, among other things, racial or religious differences, but we know very little about how ordinary Americans imagine themselves as similar to and different from their fellow citizens. In a recent, nationally representative telephone survey (2003, N = 2081) we asked over 2,000 Americans whether the members of ten dif…
Critical Whiteness Theories and the Evangelical 'Race Problem
In their 2000 book,Divided by Faith,Michael Emerson and Christian Smith use the case of evangelical Christians to demonstrate how uncompromising individualist ideals get in the way of clear thinking and decisive action about racial inequalities in contemporary American society. We use insights developed from whiteness studies and critical race theory to sharpen and further extend this analysis. More specifically, we suggest: (1) that anti-black s…
Religious Influences on Understandings of Racial Inequality in the United States
How does religion influence the way Americans understand the racial inequality that pervades our society? Only a few studies have explored this question, concentrating on how religious conservatism affects whites' views, and generating conflicting findings. Using data from a national random sample telephone survey (Edgell, Gerteis, and Hartmann 2003, N = 2081), we find that among whites, both gender and education shape the effects of religious co…
