Can low-income people afford life satisfaction? The modifying effect of personality traits, a cross-sectional study
The aim was to investigate whether the "Big Five" personality traits modify the association between household income and life satisfaction (LF); and to evaluate the interaction and main effects of personality traits and income on LF. Data from the Dental Care and Oral Health Study (DCOHS, 2015–2016) was used for the cross-sectional study (n = 3,475). Multivariable Poisson regression models (adjusted for demographics and health behaviours) assesse…
Dental service sector and patient-reported oral health outcomes
Objective The study aimed to examine the association between patient-reported oral health outcomes and the dental service sector and trust in dentists. The possible interaction effect of trust on this association was also explored. Methods Randomly selected adults aged over 18 years living in South Australia were surveyed using self-administered questionnaires. The outcome variables were self-rated dental health and the evaluation outcome of the …
Evaluation of the Ecohis and the Caries-QC among an Australian “Aboriginal” population
Tooth loss and general quality of life in dentate adults from Southern Brazil
Having fewer than 21 teeth associated with poorer general health among South Australians
Missing teeth was associated with poor general health status as measured by EQ-5D-5L disutility. The relationship was especially evident with respect to mobility and pain/discomfort. The findings emphasize the importance of oral health as predictors of general health
Does self‐efficacy mediate the effect of oral health literacy on self‐rated oral health in an Indigenous population
Given that SE is a construct amenable to change, our results suggest that interventions that aim to improve SE may have positive impacts on SROH among this vulnerable population
Longitudinal changes in dental services provided by A ustralian dentists
The longitudinal change in PPY with aging was an inverted U-shape, which accelerated during younger age, and decelerated after reaching a peak at 50 years old. Males had higher PPY than female dentists at the same age. The pattern of PPY was different between male and female dentists
Pre- and post-training evaluation of dental efficacy and activation measures in carers of adults with disabilities in South Australia - a pilot study
The aim of this pilot study was to train carers to provide oral care for adults with disabilities and to evaluate the training programme. Forty-one carers of 103 care recipients from three disability organisations in South Australia were trained in providing oral care for adults with disabilities (April 2013-April 2014). The training included an oral presentation and practical session by a special needs dentist on completing oral health assessmen…
The determinants of dentists' productivity and the measurement of output
The influence of the volume of dental treatment on change in self‐reported oral health
Having six or more dental services was significantly associated with a greater self-reported improvement in oral health than having less than six dental services. The greater prevalence ratios with increasing dental service volume suggested a threshold effect
Dental insurance, attitudes to dental care, and dental visiting
Dental care attitudes did not confound the association between dental insurance and visiting, indicating that dental insurance status was not a "marker" for predisposing attitudes
Grocery purchasing among older adults by chewing ability, dietary knowledge and socio-economic status
Objectives Nutrition plays a central role in health, with poor dietary habits and nutritional intake being associated with a range of chronic diseases. The aim was to examine grocery purchasing behaviour in relation to chewing ability, dietary knowledge and socio-economic status (SES) among older adults. Design Data were collected by mailed survey in 2008. Grocery purchasing was measured using a sixteen-item index of compliance of food purchasing…
Social acceptability of dental appearance and benefits of fixed orthodontic treatment
FOT provided a significant benefit only for individuals in the "Desirable" group at age 13. FOT appeared to offer little long-term benefits in the social acceptability of dental appearance for the majority of individuals who underwent FOT
Impact of dental visiting trajectory patterns on clinical oral health and oral health‐related quality of life
Long-term, postchildhood dental attendance patterns are associated with oral health in adulthood, whether defined by clinical dental indicators or OHRQoL. Improving dental visiting behavior among low socioeconomic status groups would have the greatest effect on improving oral health and reducing oral health impacts
Caries experience of adults attending private and public dental clinics in Australia
Persons who attend for dental care in the public sector have worse oral health than adults who visit private dental clinics, in addition to an independent effect of socioeconomic disadvantage
Life events and oral-health-related quality of life among young adults
Tooth loss, chewing ability and quality of life
Influence of Patient, Visit, and Oral Health Factors on Dental Service Provision
After controlling for oral health, visit characteristics persisted as significant predictors of services, with nonemergency visits, insurance, and capital city location associated with more favorable service mix patterns. Higher socioeconomic status areas and payment scale ratings also were associated with a better service pattern in particular service areas. These findings show that a wide range of factors, in addition to oral health, contribute…
Tropical tapestry from Capricorn to Cape York
Individuals who grew up experiencing low childhood SES were less likely to adopt a routine dental visiting trajectory in adulthood than those with a high childhood SES. Dental anxiety was also an important predictor of dental visiting patterns
