Abstract:
Information on public dental service waiting lists is available as part of the Queensland Government open data policy. Data were summarised across the care categories and health districts to present the total number and percentage of people waiting for care and who have waited beyond the desirable period. As of 31 December 2012 there were 130 546 people on the dental waiting list; of these 85.8%, 8.5% and 2.2% were waiting for general care desirable within 24, 12 and 3 months, respectively. Across all care categories, almost 56% of those on the waiting list were beyond the desirable waiting period. The average number of people on the waiting list and the average number waiting beyond the desirable time differ substantially per clinic by district. Ongoing analysis of the Queensland public dental service waiting list database will determine the impact on patient waiting times of Federal Government initiatives announced in 2012 to treat an estimated 400 000 patients on waiting lists nationwide over the next 3 years and to expand services to assist low-income adults to receive dental services.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Introduction Although dental emergencies are primarily aimed at pain relief, in practice, dental emergency services have been overwhelmed by the massive inflow of patients with less complex cases, which could be resolved at basic levels of health care. They frequently become the main gateway to the system. We investigated the determinant factors of demand at the Central Dental Emergency Unit in Bauru, São Paulo, Brazil. Materials and methods The questionnaire was applied to 521 users to evaluate sociodemographic profile; factors that led users to seek the service at the central dental emergency; perception of service offered. Results About 80.4% of users went directly to the central dental emergency, even before seeking basic health units. The reasons were difficulty to be attended (34.6%) and incompatible time (9.8%). To the perception of the necessity of the service, responses were problem as urgent (78.3%) and pain was the main complaint (69.1%). The profile we found was unmarried (41.5%), male (52.2%), white (62.8%), aged 30 to 59 (52.2%), incomplete basic education (41.6%), family income up to 2 minimum wages (47.4%), and no medical/dental plan (88.9%). Conclusion It was concluded that the users of central dental emergency come from all sectors of the city, due to difficult access to basic health units; they consider their complaint urgent; and they are satisfied with the service offered. Clinical significance To meet the profile of the user urgency's service so that it is not overloaded with demand that can be fulfilled in basic health units.

Abstract:
Dental public health has been defined as ‘the science and art of preventing oral diseases, promoting oral health and improving the quality of life through the organised efforts of society’.1 Dental practitioners most often have the oral health of individual patients as their primary focus but the aim of public health is to benefit populations.2 Early developments in dental public health were concerned largely with demonstrating levels of disease and with treatment services. With greater appreciation of the nature of oral health and disease, and of their determinants has come recognition of the need for wider public health action if the effects of prevention and oral health promotion are to be maximised.

Abstract:
A participação social é uma importante ferramenta para o aprimoramento do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS), fortalece a instituição de processos de avaliação do desempenho e contribui para a ampliação do acesso e qualidade dos serviços prestados. O objetivo foi avaliar a percepção dos usuários sobre a saúde bucal e as recomendações para melhoria do serviço público odontológico. Trata-se de um estudo transversal, tipo inquérito, com 390 usuários do SUS. As variáveis analisadas foram: autoavaliação da saúde bucal; avaliação da equipe e do serviço odontológico prestado. Realizou-se análise qualitativa das questões discursivas e teste estatístico de associação Qui-Quadrado ou Teste G, ao nível de significância de 5%. A autoavaliação da saúde bucal foi categorizada em muito boa/boa, regular, ruim/muito ruim e os motivos identificados da classificação foram: presença de doença, cuidado com a saúde, dor, educação em saúde, negligência com a saúde, tempo e medo. Quanto à avaliação da equipe e do serviço foram feitas sugestões para a melhoria, relacionadas à: infraestrutura, acesso, humanização e educação em saúde. Constatou-se associação significativa entre o cuidado com a saúde e a percepção positiva da saúde bucal. A presença de doença, negligência, tempo e medo influenciaram negativamente na autoavaliação. Como recomendações para melhoria do atendimento, 15,4% dos entrevistados apontou a infraestrutura; 8,2% o acesso; 6,9% a humanização e 1% a educação em saúde. Conclui-se que o cuidado com a saúde foi o fator mais relacionado a uma boa saúde bucal. Houve poucas recomendações para o aprimoramento da qualidade e resolutividade do serviço prestado.

Abstract Social participation is an important tool for the improvement of the Brazilian Unified Health System, strengthens the institution of performance evaluation processes and contributes to the expansion of access and quality of services provided. This study evaluated user’s perceptions on oral health and recommendations for improvement of public dental services. This is a cross-sectional study, type inquiry, with 390 users of the Brazilian Unified Health System. The analyzed variables were self-assessment of oral health, evaluation of the team and the dental service provided. A qualitative analysis of the discursive questions was performed and Chi-square or G-test statistical association test, at a significance level of 5%. The self-assessment of oral health was categorized as very good/good, regular, bad/very bad and the identified reasons for the classification were: presence of disease, health care, pain, health education, negligence in health, time and fear. As for team and service evaluation, suggestions for improvement concerning infrastructure, access, humanization and education in health were made. It was found a significant association between health care and positive perception of oral health. The presence of disease, neglect, time and fear affected negatively the self-assessment. The recommendations for service improvement, 15.4% interviewed users pointed to infrastructure; 8.2% access; 6.9% humanization and 1% education in health. It is concluded that healthcare was the most frequent factor associated with good oral health. There were few recommendations for quality improvement and outcome of service provided.Keywords: Health Evaluation. Self-Assessment. Oral Health.

Abstract:
Objective: This study investigated the delivery of paediatric (0-17 years) government dental services in New South Wales (NSW), Australia through public dental clinics and the commissioned payments models of Fee-for-Service and Capped-Fee. 
 Method: De-identified patient data from government provided dental care and the commissioned services was sourced from NSW Oral Health Data Warehouse for evaluation and interpretation using descriptive analysis during the period 1 January 2012 to 31 December 2013. 
 Result: The breakdown of dental care provided the associated cost analysis for the study’s cohort that resulted in both years, more than 50 percent dental services offered to paediatric patients were preventive care in all payment systems. The most common preventive items offered were fluoride treatment, dietary advice, oral health education and fissure sealants.
 Conclusion: There was little difference in the mix of dental care provided between study years and age groups through the three payment systems in NSW. The difference between the government services and those provided via the Fee-for-Service and Capitation payment systems was negligible.
 This has important implications for the delivery of dental care to public dental care, particularly when patients may not live close to a public dental clinic and also with the interest nationally in giving patients greater choice.

Abstract:
Health is determined by the past as well as the present; the health status of indigenous peoples has been strongly influnced by the experience of colonisation and their subsequent efforts to participate as minorities in contemporary society while retaining their own ethnic and cultural identities. Colonial journays may have led to innovation and adaptation for Maori, but they have also created pain and suffering from which full recovery has yet to be felt (Durie, 2001). The oral health area can be described as having considerable and unacceptable disparities between Maori and non-Maori (Broughton 1995; Thomson, Ayers and Broughton 2003). Few reports have been conducted concerning Maori and patterns of oral health service utilisation, however a lower service utilisation among Maori than non-Maori has been noted (TPK 1996; Broughton and Koopu 1996). Overall, Maori oral health is largely unknown due to a paucity of appropriate research. This research aims to provide new information by describing Maori oral health outcomes over the life course, within a Kaupapa Maori Research (KMR) methodology. In general, the basic tenets presented for KMR are: (1) to prioritise Maori - from the margin to the centre; (2) to be Maori controlled - by Maori, for Maori; (3) to reject �victim-blame� theories; and (4) to be a step towards action and change in order to improve Maori oral health outcomes. The aims of this research are to: 1. Describe the occurrence of caris at ages 5, 15, 18 and 26 and periodontal disease at age 26 years for Maori. 2. Describe self-reported oral health, self-reported dental aesthetics and oral health service utilisation among Maori at ages 5, 15, 18 and 26. 3. Compare the above oral health characteristics between Maori and non-Maori . 4. Investigate the determinants of any differences in oral health outcomes between Māori and non-Maori using a KMR methodology. The investigation involves a secondary analysis of data from the Dunedin multidisciplinary Health and Development study (DMHDS). The existing data-set was statistically analysed using SPSS (SPSS Inc, Chicago, USA). Descriptive statistics were generated. The levels of statistical significance were set at P< 0.05. Chi-square tests were used to compare proportions and independent sample t-tests or ANOVA were used for comparing means. A summary of the Maori/non-Maori analysis shows that, for a cohort of New Zealanders followed over their life-course, the oral health features of caries prevalence, caries severity, and periodonal disease prevalence are higher among Maori compared to non-Maori. In particular, it appears that while Maori females did not always have the highest prevalence of dental caries, this group most often had a higher dmfs/DMFS for dental caries, compared to non-Maori. As adolescents and adults, self-reported results of oral health and dental appearance indicate that Maori males were more likely to report below average oral health and below average dental appearance, when compared to non-Maori. However, at age 26, non-Maori males made up the highest proportion of episodic users of oral health services. This study has a number of health implications: these relate specifically to the management of dental caries, the access to oral health services, and Maori oral health and the elimination of disparities. These are multi-levelled and have implications for health services across the continuum of care from child to adult services; they also have public health implications that involve preventive measures and the broader determinants of health; and involve KMR principles than can be applied to oral health interventions and dental health research in general. Dental diseases and oral health outcomes, such as dental anxiety and episodic use of services, are a common problem in a cohort of New Zealanders with results demonstrating ethnic disparities between Maori and on-Maori. As an area of dentistry that has had very little research in New Zealand, the findings of this study provide important information with which to help plan for population needs. The KMR approach prioritises Maori and specifically seeks to address Maori oral health needs and the elimination of disparities in oral health outcomes. While the issues that are raised may be seen as the more difficult to address, they are also more likely to achieve oral health gains for Maori and contribute to the elimination of disparities.

Abstract:
The goal of this study was to review Maori oral health services utilising a kaupapa Maori framework. The aims of the study were to identify the issues in the development, implementation and operation of Maori dental health services within each of the three types of Maori health providers (mainstream, iwi-based, partnership). The three Maori oral health services are: (i) Te Whare Kaitiaki, University of Otago Dental School, Dunedin. (ii) Te atiawa Dental Service, New Plymouth. (iii) Tipu Ora Dental Service, in partnership with the School Dental Service, Lakeland Health, Rotorua. Method: A literature review of kaupapa Maori research was undertaken to provide the Maori framework under which this study was conducted. The kaupapa Maori methodology utilised the following criteria: (i) Rangatiratanga: The assertion of Maori leadership; (ii) Whakakotahitanga: A holistic approach incorporating Te Whare Tapa Wha; (iii) Whakapapa: The origins and development of oranga niho; (iv) Whakawhanuitanga: Recognising and catering for the diverse needs of Maori; (iv) Whanaungatanga: Culturally appropriate forms of relationship management; (v) Maramatanga: Raising Maori awareness, health promotion and education; and (vi) Whakapakiri: Recognising the need to the build capacity of Maori health providers. Ethical approval was granted by the Otago, Bay of Plenty and Taranaki Ethics Committees to undertake interviews and focus groups with Maori oral health providers in Dunedin, Rotorua and New Plymouth. Information was also sought from advisors and policy analysts within the Ministry of Health. A valuable source of information was hui korero (speeches and/or discussion at Maori conferences). An extensive literature was undertaken including an historical search of material from private archives and the now defunct Maori Health Commission. Results: An appropriate kaupapa Maori methodology was developed which provided a Maori framework to collate, describe, organise and present the information on Maori oral health. In te ao tawhito (the pre-European world of the Maori) there was very little if any dental decay. In te ao hou (the contemporary world of the Maori) Maori do not enjoy the same oral health status as non-Maori across all age groups. The reasons for this health disparity are multifactorial but include the social determinants of health, life style factors and the under-utilisation of health services. In order to address the disparities in Maori oral health, Maori providers have been very eager to establish kaupapa Maori oral health services. The barriers to the development, implementation, and operation of a kaupapa Maori oral health service are many and varied and include access to funding, and racism. Maori health providers have overcome the barriers through two strategies: firstly, the establishment of relationships within both the health sector and the Maori community; and secondly, through their passion and commitment to oranga niho mo te iwi Maori (oral health for all Maori). The outcome of this review will contribute to Maori health gain through the recognition of appropriate models and strategies which can be utilised for the future advancement of Maori oral health services, and hence to an improvement in Maori oral health status. Conclusion: This review of Maori oral health services has found that there are oral health disparities between Maori and non-Maori New Zealanders. In an effort to overcome these disparities Maori have sought to provide kaupapa Maori oral health services. Whilst there is a diversity in the provision of Maori oral health services, kaupapa Maori services have been developed that are appropriate, effective, accessible and affordable. They must have the opportunity to flourish.

Abstract:
This study is aimed to evaluate service-learning program's impact on senior dental students' attitude to community service at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) School of Dentistry. Experience gained through service-learning in dental school may positively impact dental students' attitude to community service that will eventually lead into providing care to the underserved. Two surveys were administered to 105 senior dental students. For the first survey (post-test), students reported their attitude to community service after the service-learning program completion. For the second survey (pre-test), students reported their attitude prior to the program retrospectively. Seventy six students responded to the post-test and fifty six students responded to the pre-test. A repeated-measure mixed-model analysis indicated that overall there was a change between pre-test and post-test. Scales of connectedness, normative helping behavior, benefits, career benefits, and intention showed a significant pre-test and post-test difference. A relationship between attitude to community service and student characteristics such as age, gender, ethnicity, and volunteer activity was also examined. Only ethnicity showed a significant difference. In conclusion, service-learning program at VCU School of Dentistry has positively impacted senior dental students' attitude to community service.

Abstract:
Many people in the United States have untreated dental disease due to a lack of dental insurance, a lack of oral health knowledge, and a lack of priority placed on dental health. Despite an increase in dental service use by Medicaid recipients as a result of local programs, children enrolled in Medicaid often have low rates of use of dental services. Using the health literacy framework of the Paasche-Orlow and Wolf (POW) model, the purpose of this study was to explore to the relationship between oral health literacy of parents and dental service use for children enrolled in Medicaid and the differences in use rates between preventive and restorative services. A cross-sectional research design was employed within a convenience sample of parents who presented to a nonprofit clinic for a medical appointment. Participants completed a demographic profile, an oral health questionnaire, and REALD-30 survey. Responses were correlated with dental claims retrieved from 1 reference child for each parent. Pearson's correlation revealed no significant relationship between oral health literacy and dental service utilization, r = -.056 (p = .490). An ANOVA revealed no difference in utilization between preventive and restorative services, F (2, 149) = .173, p = .841, ç2 = .002. However, high rates of use for restorative services were observed, suggesting a high prevalence of tooth decay in children. Although this study did not find a significant relationship between oral health literacy and dental utilization, barriers continue to exist that contribute to the high rates of tooth decay in children enrolled in Medicaid. This study impacted social change by highlighting the importance of preventive care in reducing the prevalence of tooth decay.

Abstract:
Objective: To determine the baseline self-reported oral health and dental service utilization of pregnant women from diverse ethno cultural backgrounds within the geographical are of the Fraser Health Authority in British Columbia, Canada. Method: A prospective 34-item cross-sectional survey was administered to all the women enrolling for a prenatal registration program between October 2012 and January 2013. For data analysis, a two-sample t-test was used, and categorical variables were tested using a chi-square test. Multivariable logistic regressions were used to estimate the odds ratio. Results: A total of 740 pregnant women filled out the questionnaire. The majority (84%) of the respondents rated their oral health as good or excellent. Fifty two percent of the women had visited dental professional during last year. Almost 1/3 of those reporting symptoms of depression rated their oral health as fair or poor. Forty-one percent reported having bleeding gums, 22% experienced tooth sensitivity, and 13% had persistent dry mouth since the beginning of their pregnancy. When asked about the beliefs associated with pregnancy, 37% of the respondents expected bleeding gums, and 34% expected tooth sensitivity. Women born in India had visited a dental professional 2.8 times more often than women who had been born elsewhere. Those with dental insurance were 6.6 times more likely to visit a dentist than those without insurance. Conclusion: The majority of pregnant women considered dental care during pregnancy to be very important and had previously visited a dental professional within the last year. However, more than 1/3 had experienced one or more oral problems while more than half held false beliefs about the effects of pregnancy upon oral health. These reported oral beliefs and problems could be addressed with patient education during routine pre-natal care and subsequent referral to a dentist if needed.

Introduktion: Under den tionde terminen av tandläkarprogrammet på Malmö högskola genomgår studenterna verksamhetsförlagd utbildning (VFU) sedan 2004. Detta sker i samarbete med Folktandvården Skåne och under 15 veckor arbetar studenterna en dag i veckan under handledning på folktandvårdens kliniker i närliggande område.Syfte: Att utvärdera erfarenheter efter genomgången VFU ur deltagarnas perspektiv.Metod: Alla tandläkarstudenter och handledare som genomgått VFU 2006 och 2015 tillfrågades om att besvara en utvärderingsenkät med numerisk bedömningsskala och utrymme för tillhörande kommentarer. Sex studenter och fem handledare som genomgått VFU år 2015 intervjuades även med en semistrukturerad intervjumetodik som sammanfördes genom en tematiserad innehållsanalys. Resultat: Enkät: Poängsättningen var genomgående hög för både 2006 och 2015. Studenterna poängsatte påstående 6 ”Det nuvarande upplägget med 15 veckor och en dags tjänstgöring i veckan är tillfredställande.” signifikant högre 2015 än 2006. Påstående 8 ”Det finns en samsyn avseende metoder och behandlingsval mellan skola och folktandvård.” poängsatte studenterna signifikant lägre än handledarna 2015. 2006 poängsatte studenterna påstående tre ”Sammansättningen av patienter var bra.” signifikant lägre än vad handledarna gjorde. Intervju: Studenter och handledare ansåg att VFU är fördelaktigt i utbildningssyfte och ger studenterna självsäkerhet och trygghet i ansvarstagande. Förslag på förbättringar förekom även under intervjuerna.Slutsats: Verksamhetsförlagd utbildning ger fördelaktigheter både för studenter och deras handledare. Studenter och handledare uttrycker uppskattning och är generellt nöjda efter VFU.<br>Introduction: The tenth semester of the dentistry program at Malmö university students undergoes an outreach program (internship) since 2004 and this is in collaboration with Folktandvården Skåne. During 15 weeks the students work at their assigned clinics one day a week under supervision from their tutors.Objective: To evaluate experiences after placement from the participants' perspective.Method: All dental students and tutors who have completed internship in 2006 and 2015 were asked to answer an evaluation questionnaire with numeric rating scale and scope for comments. Six students and five mentors who have completed internship in 2015 were interviewed with a semi-structured interview methodology, later analysed by content analysis method.Results: Questionnaire: rating was consistently high for both 2006 and 2015. The students scored significantly higher on question six “The set-up of one day of clinical work over 15 weeks were satisfying.” 2015 than in 2006. Students scored question eight“There is a consensus regarding methods and treatment options between the dental school and Folktandvården Skåne” significantly lower than their supervisors in 2015. In 2006 students scored question three “The composition of patients was good” significantly lower than the supervisors did. Interview: Students and tutors felt that the internship had been beneficial for training purposes, giving the students more self-esteem and confidence in taking responsibility. Improvements for the outreach program where proposed. Conclusion: The clinical training program is favourable, both for the students and their tutors. In general terms, the students and the supervisors were satisfied with the cooperation.

Abstract:
Many physical changes occur as one ages, including changes associated with the oral cavity. A review of the literature suggests that the provision of dental care to institutionalized elderly patients presents problems due to a variety of factors. The purpose of this study is to assess the level or dental care provided to residents of long-term care facilities located in Warren County, Kentucky. In addition, secondary objectives Include the ascertainment of who provides dental care to residents and the amount or in-service dental training made available to staff members of the facility. Each administrator of the long term care facilities located in Warren County participated in an *interview conducted by the author. During the interview, information was obtained for a 21 item questionnaire concerning the facility, the number and age range or the residents, and types of dental services provided within the facility. Results obtained from the questionnaire indicated that 77 percent or the residents in long-tern care facilities in Warren County are 70 years of age or older. No significant differences were noted in the types or dental services provided to residents. However, the dental services provided ranged from those that were obtained in a private dental office via transportation or the resident to outside dental facilities to routine oral hygiene measures carried out by staff members employed by the facility. The findings revealed significant differences in the dental status of the MRDD residents when compared to the nursing home residents. Other findings indicated that none of the long-term care facilities had dental operatories or dental radiographic equipment on the premises. Additional research would be required in order to address uncertainties discovered in the study. A followup to the questionnaire Interview with the consulting dentists may be included to determine to what capacity and to what extent they are utilized by the facilities. Other recommendations include the utilization of entrance dental examinations to determine if services offered do meet the needs of the residents and periodic dental examinations to aid in detection and thus reduce the prevalence of dental diseases in this population.

Abstract:
Introduction: Despite being preventable, dental caries is the most widespread noncommunicable disease (NCD) globally. Being de most prevalent condition, and the attempts of dentists and dental auxiliaries to give oral health the right attention, transparent, reliable, and up-to-date data about the type and level of oral health care costs are of significant societal relevance to present feedback about health system–level efficiency. Methods: Using records from a prospective cohort of 452 12-year-old children from 14 Västerbotten Public Dental Service Clinics an investigation on time spent on caries prevention was done. Time spend on caries prevention per patient per year was used as a proxy for caries prevention costs to understand variation in values in these cohort. Result: Time spend on caries prevention was associated with individual caries experience, clinics caries prevalence and number of dentists and dental auxiliaries in a 1:2 ratio. Besides,the patient’s caries risk assessment could not explain oral health professionals time spent oncaries prevention. Discussion: Time spent on caries prevention was not evenly distributed (median= 6.8 minutes). As a consequence of improved dental health and scarce resources it has been essential to optimize the efficiency in the dental service. Thus, the amount of individualized preventive intervention offered and given by dentists, hygienists and nurses, to the patients in the various risk groups needs to be further clarified.

Abstract:
Planning is an integral part of dental care provision that can operate at many different levels. At a national level, government NHS policy impacts upon dental services in different ways. For example, in the General Dental Service, patient charge bands in England are currently set by the government. In the future, at the national level, the National Health Service Commissioning Board (NHSCB) will determine national policy and national delivery requirements. The NHSCB will be responsible for commissioning primary dental services and contractual arrangements with dentists. At the Health and Wellbeing Board (HWB) level in England, planners (in conjunction with general medical practioner (GMP) consortia/clinical care commissioning groups (CCGs)) will make decisions over the priorities for local services, and the types and range of services offered locally. Within a dental practice, dental practitioners and their team members may develop a range of practice policies aimed at improving the services provided. Finally, every day clinicians develop treatment plans for individual patient care based upon their oral health needs. All these activities are planning in action. This chapter will examine the basic principles of planning, and review the different steps in the planning process. At the most basic level, planning aims to guide choices so that decisions are made in the best manner to reach the desired outcomes. Planning provides a guide and structure to the process of decision-making to maximize results within the limited resources available. Is planning really necessary when there are so many other demands on practitioners’ time? Planning can be justified for the following reasons: . . . ● It provides an opportunity to be proactive in decision-making rather than constantly reacting to pressures and demands. . . . . . . ● It enables priorities to be set. . . . . . . ● It identifies where resources can be directed to have the greatest impact. . . . Various planning models have been proposed to act as a guide to the different steps in the planning process. The rational planning model provides a basic guide to the process (McCarthy 1982), and involves the following steps: . . . 1 Assessment of need: e.g. identification of the oral health problems and concerns of the population. . . . . . . 2 Identifying priorities: agreeing the target areas for action. . . .

Abstract:
The National Health Service was created at the end of the Second World War. Its structure has remained relatively stable until the 1970s. Since then, politicians have continued to reform it at an ever-increasing rate and, in 2012, the biggest change to the English NHS structure was implemented (Reynolds and McKee 2012). The question as to why the reforms are being undertaken is crucial. Growing demands, changing epidemiology, better understanding of the determinants of health, and evolving societal values have all influenced the process. Perhaps most crucial is the latter. It is probably more appropriate to describe the current NHS as four differing NHS care systems that are coterminous with the legislative bodies that exist within the UK, namely England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. Not only are the planning arrangements becoming more divergent, but also the philosophical approach underpinning each system is beginning to follow very different paths. The NHS has almost never taken a typical theoretical planning approach but rather has evolved due to the wide range of factors and influences involved. These include the changing power of health care professions, the need to ration services, adoption of economic theory (market forces and the internal market), and, not least, changing governments with differing political stances. The importance of understanding the history of the service and the lessons of the past are that they inform the present and can provide an indication of how the future may look. This chapter outlines the major influences on the NHS since its inception, describes the major problems currently faced by the NHS, and provides an overview of the ways in which clinical services are currently delivered. It will not give a detailed description of the structure of the health service, not least as by the time the book is published a new structure will exist. The current structure of the health service in each of the four countries of the UK will be available on this book’s website, and updated as changes occur.

Abstract:
Haycox (2009) describes economics as the science of scarcity. Economics analyses how choices about scarce goods and services are structured and prioritized by individuals in order to maximize welfare (Haycox 2009). Should economic theory have any relationship to health and health care? Clinicians will often state that they make their decisions based on their clinical judgement (what is best for the patient in front of them) and that they should not be influenced by concerns over money. Is this view entirely valid? Despite the improvements in health seen in the majority of countries, costs of health care have continued to rise above the general rate of inflation. For example, in the USA, health care costs account for 15% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP), compared to 17% in the UK (Morris et al. 2007). This is due to a number of factors, such as the price of materials, personnel salaries and wages, and the ever-increasing use of more advanced technology. There is little evidence, however, that the increased spending has contributed to better health (Abel-Smith 1996). Indeed, the evidence from Chapters 2 and 4 suggests that health will not be improved just by spending more money on health care. There is a growing awareness that health care resources are finite, while the demand for health care is apparently infinite (Cohen 2008). Economic analysis provides a systematic framework for answering questions about the justification for using these finite and scarce health resources and helps identify solutions to some common problems in health care (Morris et al. 2007). Health economics is therefore the study of the application of economic theory to decision-making about health and health care (Mooney 2003 ; Morris et al. 2007). In this context, health care decision-makers must prioritize choices about interventions informed by an analysis of both the costs and the benefits (Haycox 2009). Getting value for money involves a desire to achieve a health goal at the least cost or a desire to maximize benefits to patients where there is a limited pot of resources (Haycox 2009).

Abstract:
This chapter will briefly describe how oral health care may be managed and organized and how health workers may be remunerated. This will be followed by a short outline of the ways in which oral health care is provided in the UK. A separate overview of dental care professionals (DCPs) is presented in this chapter. The reform of the NHS is ongoing, so this chapter discusses principles rather than detail. Since the devolution of health care to governments in Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, variations in provision are occurring across the UK and some of these differences are highlighted. If oral health care is to be provided it has to be funded. The money has to be derived from the public and this can be either from individuals or from taxation. Within the UK there are a variety of ways in which oral health care is funded. Figure 19.1 shows the possible flows of money. The model that exists in the UK is in the main centred on routes 1 and 3, based on taxation, either direct or through national insurance contributions, and its subsequent allocation to various public-funded services, including dentistry. In Germany, the arrangement is slightly different in that third-party insurance groups are involved and a proportion of an individual’s annual salary is allocated to health care. A third model operates in the USA under the guise of managed care. Individuals buy into a care plan that is organized by a health care company, which subsequently contracts with dentists to provide a level of care. In route 2, the public pays the dentist directly for his or her services; this is a private arrangement. A third party may intervene to control pricing. For example, Dutch and Swedish adult dental care is now mostly in the private sector, but each year the profession negotiates the scale of fees with their government. The subsequent distribution process for paying oral care workers is illustrated in Figure 19.2. There are again three mechanisms: . . . 1 A purely private arrangement. . . . . . . 2 The state pays the total cost. . . .

Abstract:
In any discussion of public health, it is necessary to be able to define what is meant by the term ‘health’. The promotion and maintenance of health should be a goal of health services and thus a clear definition is essential. At a personal level we can distinguish the difference between feeling well and feeling ill, but converting this to an index that measures health and illness in a population is far more complex (Hart 1985). Health, disease, and disability mean different things to different people at different times, and providers of health care may hold very different views compared to the users of health care. Definitions of what constitutes health and illness ‘will vary within cultures, subcultures and communities and even within households’. The different ways in which people think about health influences what they do to protect their health, when they decide to use health services, and how they use health services. How health is defined also affects health care professionals’ attitudes to patients and how health care is organized. Different disciplines such as psychology, sociology, and epidemiology, for example, also construct health in different ways and they use different approaches and methods to study and understand health (Naidoo and Wills 2008). This chapter will briefly review the commonly used definitions of health, disease, illness, ill health, and disability. It will consider some of the implications these differences have for the measurement of health, the assessment of need, and how health care is delivered and used. Health can be defined objectively as normal functioning of the body systems and processes. It can be measured objectively, e.g. at an individual level the measurement of blood pressure against a ‘normal’ level, or in populations as the prevalence of people with or without a condition, for example the proportion of 5-year-olds who are caries free. Health may also be defined subjectively by age, gender, or social class. For example, young people may talk about health in terms of being physically fit and being able to participate in sport; older people may talk about health in terms of ability to undertake normal daily activities and tasks.

Abstract:
Dental diseases affect a large number of people, cause much discomfort and pain, and are costly to treat. Their impact is therefore considerable, to both the individual and wider society (see Chapters 3 and 21 for a more detailed overview of oral health impacts). A particular concern is the pervasive nature of oral health inequalities with the burden of oral diseases now increasingly experienced amongst less educated and socially excluded groups in society. The causes of dental diseases are well known and effective preventive measures have been identified. However, treatment services still dominate oral health systems around the world. There is growing recognition within the dental profession that treatment services will never successfully treat away the causes of dental diseases (Blinkhorn 1998). In the Lancet , one of the top medical journals, an editorial on oral health highlighted the need to reorient dental services towards prevention (Lancet 2009). What type of preventive approach should be adopted to promote oral health and reduce inequalities? It is essential that preventive interventions address the underlying determinants of oral disease and inequalities to achieve sustainable improvements in population oral health. Effectiveness reviews of clinical preventive measures and health education programmes have highlighted that these approaches do not reduce oral health inequalities and only achieve short-term positive outcomes. A radically different preventive approach is therefore needed. If treatment services and traditional clinical preventive approaches are not capable of dealing effectively with dental diseases, then other options need to be considered. In recent decades, the health promotion movement has arisen, partly in response to the recognized limitations of treatment services to improve the health of the public. With escalating costs and wider acceptance that doctors and dentists are not able to cure most chronic conditions, increasing interest has focused on alternative means of dealing with health problems. The origins of health promotion date back to the work of public health pioneers in the 19th century. At that time, rapid industrialization led to the creation of poor and overcrowded working and living conditions for the majority of the working classes in the large industrial towns and cities of Europe and North America.

Abstract:
For health services to deliver effective prevention and treatment, a detailed understanding of the factors influencing health is critical. These factors are known as the determinants of health. Failure to address the underlying causes of disease in society will mean that sustainable improvements in the health of the population and a reduction in health inequalities will never be achieved. Tackling the contemporary determinants of health across society is a core function of public health and has now become the focus of government health policy in many parts of the world (WHO 2008). Many clinicians often feel frustrated when their advice to patients on ways of staying healthy is apparently ignored. Why don’t people stop smoking when they know the serious health risks of the habit? Why do some parents continue to give their children sweets when they have been given clear advice on the harmful effects on the child’s oral health? It is important for all health professionals to understand the factors influencing their patients’ choices and actions. Clinicians equipped with this knowledge are more likely to be effective at supporting their patients and enjoying their professional work. When asked what factors determine health, many people would probably highlight the importance of modern medicine. The use of antibiotics, high-tech equipment, and surgical advances might all be given as the most important reasons for improvements in health that have been achieved in the last hundred years. Why is modern medicine credited with such achievements and is this a true reflection of reality? Professor Thomas McKeown, a pioneer in public health research, conducted a detailed historical analysis of the reasons for the steady reduction in mortality rates that occurred in westernized countries during the last century (McKeown 1979). In his classic analysis he investigated changes in mortality rates for different conditions. As can be seen in Figure 2.1, with infectious diseases such as tuberculosis, whooping cough, and measles, significant reductions in mortality rates occurred long before treatments and vaccination programmes were even introduced.

Abstract:
Background: Prevalence of decayed, missing, and filling teeth in children are high. Studies have indicated that health belief model in oral health education for increasing the likelihood of taking preventive oral health behaviors is applicable. The purpose of this study was to investigate factors associated with dental and oral preventive health behavior among primary school children using Health Belief Model. Subjects and Method: A cross sectional study was carried out at 25 elementary schools in Ponorogo, East Java, Indonesia, from January to February 2020. Schools were selected by multistage proportional stratified random sampling. A sample of 200 students was selected randomly. The dependent variable was dental and oral health behavior. The independent variables were knowledge, teacher role, attitude, perceived susceptibility, perceived seriousness, perceived benefit, cues to action, self-efficacy, and perceived barrier. Results: Dental and oral preventive health behavior in elementary school students increased with high knowledge (OR= 7.27; 95% CI= 2.20 to 24.08; p= 0.001), strong teacher role (OR= 3.88; 95% CI= 1.22 to 12.36; p= 0.022), positive attitude (OR= 5.57; 95% CI= 1.72 to 18.01; p= 0.004), high perceived susceptibility (OR= 6.63; 95% CI= 2.13 to 20.65; p= 0.001), high perceived seriousness (OR= 6.28; 95% CI= 2.03 to 19.41; p= 0.001), high perceived benefit (OR= 6.69; 95% CI= 1.84 to 24.38; p= 0.004), strong cues to action (OR= 3.81; 95% CI= 1.20 to 12.14; p= 0.024), and strong self-efficacy (OR= 4.29; 95% CI= 1.39 to 13.21; p= 0.011). Dental and oral preventive health behavior decreased with high perceived barrier (OR= 0.21; 95% CI= 0.06 to 0.71; p= 0.011). Conclusion: Dental and oral preventive health behavior in elementary school students increases with high knowledge, strong teacher role, positive attitude, high perceived susceptibility, high perceived seriousness, high perceived benefit, strong cues to action, and strong self-efficacy.

Abstract:
Nordic welfare states are world renowned for providing high quality public services. Nordic municipal and regional authorities, in particular, play a central role in the delivery of key public services in areas, such as, health, education, and social care. However, in recent years, public authorities have faced several challenges which have reduced capacity and resources, including long periods of austerity following the 2008 financial crash, rapid demographic changes caused by an ageing population, and the COVID-19 health crisis. In response to these challenges many public authorities have looked to inter-regional, inter-municipal and cross-border collaborations to improve the quality and effectiveness of public service delivery (OECD 2017; ESPON 2019). Indeed, collaborative public service delivery is becoming increasingly prominent in the Nordic Region due to a highly decentralized systems of governance (Nordregio 20015; Eythorsson 2018).

Abstract:
In this paper, we test whether promoting digital government tools increases the take-up of an important public health prevention service: cervical cancer screening. We implemented an at-scale field experiment in Uruguay, randomly encouraging women to make medical appointments with a digital application or reminding them to do it as usual at their local clinic. Using administrative records, we found that the digital application nearly doubled attendance of a screening appointment compared to reminders and tripled the rate compared to a pure control group (3.2 percentage point increase over a base of 1.9 percent). Survey data suggests that the impacts of the intervention were mostly mediated by reduced transaction costs. Our results highlight the potential of investing in digital government to improve the take-up of public services.
