Determinants of betel quid dependence and predictive efficacy of cessation scales among rural users in Southern India
Betel quid chewing poses significant public health risks across a range of countries from South to Southeast Asia, particularly in India. We aimed to identify factors influencing betel quid dependence (BQD) among consumers in a rural area of Southern India. A secondary aim was to find out which of the two instruments namely the Motivation to Stop Scale(MTSS), and Stages of Change Behavior scale was a better predictor of BQD among current betel qu…
A Call for Action to Safely Deliver Oral Health Care during and Post Covid-19 Pandemic
The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) outbreak started just a couple of months ago and it grew rapidly causing several deaths and morbidities. The mechanism behind the transmission of the virus is still not completely understood despite a multitude of new specific manuscripts being published daily. This article highlights the oral cavity as a possible viral transmission route into the body via the Angiotensin converting…
School Interventions–based Prevention of Early‐Childhood Caries among 3–5‐year‐old children from very low socioeconomic status
Prohibition of sugary snacking in school and daily supervised tooth brushing, with or without oral health education is effective in preventing ECC among preschool children with health neglect in very low-resource settings
Dental health state utilities among dental patients
The SG method was effective in assessing dental health state utilities in the patient population. Determining patients' risk tolerance through the SG method may lead to greater awareness about factors that could influence their choice of treatment and could help in planning treatment regimens
Oral‐Health‐Related Quality of Life during Pregnancy
Oral health and perceived OHRQoL were poorer among pregnant women than among nonpregnant women
Specific Caries Index
Encouraging indications about the validity and reproducibility of this new caries index was found, suggesting the need for further studies to test its applicability in larger and different populations
