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. Palavras-chave: Avaliação em Saúde. Autoavaliação. Saúde Bucal. 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:

Abstract To describe the last place of medical and dental health service used in relation to private health plans, and examine the effect of being registered in the primary healthcare system through the Family Health Strategy (FHS). This was a cross-sectional study using data from Brazil’s 2008 National Household Survey. Multinomial logistic regression was performed to analyze how a private health plan and enrollment in the FHS influenced the use of health services. Results showed that individuals with a private health plan tend to use medical and dental services more than individuals without such a plan. However, many individuals with a private health plan used public services or paid out-of-pocket services, mainly for dental care. Among individuals without a private plan, being enrolled in the FHS reduced the use of out-of-pocket private services, regardless of age, income or educational level. Enrollment in the FHS increased the chances of using public services, and the effect of this enrollment is greater among those who have a private plan. Policies to strengthen public primary healthcare and to expand the FHS should be encouraged within the universal health system.

Abstract:

Background This study verified the association between contextual and individual factors and public dental services utilisation in Brazil. Methods The study was conducted based on a cross-sectional population-based household survey performed in Brazil (National Health Survey– 2019)). Data was collected between August 2019 and March 2020. Total sample included 43,167 individuals aged ≥15 years who had at least one dental appointment in the last 12 months before interview. Study outcome was ‘public dental service utilisation’, and Andersen’s behavioral model was adopted for selecting independent variables. A multilevel analysis was performed using individual factors as first level and federation units as second level. Results The highest prevalence of public dental service utilisation on an individual level was observed among unable to read or write people (PR: 3.31; p<0.001), indigenous (PR: 1.40; p<0.001), black or brown (PR: 1.16; p<0.001), with per capita household income of up to U$124 (PR: 2.40; p<0.001), living in the rural area (PR: 1.28; p<0.001), and who self-rated oral health as regular (PR: 1.15; p<0.001) or very bad/bad (PR: 1.26; p<0.001). On the contextual level, highest PR of public dental service utilisation was observed among those living in federal units with increased oral health coverage in primary health care. Conclusions Public dental service utilisation is associated with individual and contextual factors. These results can guide decision-making based on evidence from policymakers, demonstrating the potential for mitigating oral health inequalities and increasing service coverage in a public and universal health system.

Abstract:

Abstract Objective: To investigate factors associated with the use of dental care services. Methods: A cross-sectional study with a representative sample of elderly individuals aged 65 years or older residing in the state of São Paulo in 2015 was performed. Hierarchical multivariate logistic regression analysis was used based on the theoretical model of access determination proposed by Andersen (1995) to predict dental care visits. Results: The prevalence of public service use by the elderly was 1.981 (37.8%), while 3.253 (62.2%) used the private service/ health plan/ other type of service. Hierarchical multiple analysis (p≤0.05) identified that less schooling or never having studied, non-white, lower income and motivated by pain/extraction were associated with the use of public dental services. The study showed a reduced use of public dental care among elderly persons who required some type of upper dentures (except complete dentures), need for some type of lower dentures (including complete dentures) and demonstrated a positive self-perception of oral health condition. Conclusions: A higher prevalence of the use of private dental care/health plan/other type of service was identified. Less schooling or never having studied, non-white skin color, lower income and seeking the dentist with pain or to extract teeth were factors associated with the use of public dental services by the elderly.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether characteristics of health services, oral health team and dental surgeon are associated with provision of dental care for children up to five years old in Brazilian Primary Health Care. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted with data from 18,114 oral health teams in Brazil, evaluated in 2014 by the National Program for Access and Quality Improvement in Primary Care. The study outcome was the proven performance of dental procedures on children up to five years old. Statistical analysis was performed by Poisson regression based on a hierarchical model, where the first level was composed of service organization variables, the intermediate level composed of unit planning characteristics, and the proximal level composed of variables related to dental surgeon characteristics. RESULTS: Prevalence of dental care performed by oral health teams was 80.9% (n = 14,239). Scheduled appointments and activities of education in health were positively associated with the outcome, as well as planning and programming activities for the population and monitoring and analysis of oral health indicators. Complementary training in public health, continuing education activities and career plan were variables related to dental surgeons associated with the service provision. CONCLUSIONS: One fifth of health units in Brazil do not provide dental care for children in early childhood. Health units’ well-structured organization and planning protocols are associated with the provision of this service, as well as better employment relationship and graduate activities for dental surgeons.

Abstract:

This article provides an overview of a unique way to respond to the complex oral health needs of people with a mental illness. People with a psychiatric disability, especially those of low income and insecure housing, are at high risk of developing oral disease, due to issues associated with mental illness, poverty and the side-effects of psychotropic medication. The 'Dental as Anything' program is a collaborative partnership between the mental health, dental and administration teams of the Inner South Community Health Service (ISCHS) in Melbourne. It provides a flexible program incorporating engagement, clinical care, education and support in response to client needs. Utilising a health promotion framework and an assertive outreach model, it accesses people who traditionally do not approach mainstream services. The program manages to "reach the unreachable".

Abstract:

The research was conducted to describe Vietnamese-speaking parents' practices in children's oral health care and to identify barriers parents had in accessing child dental services after being notified that their child needed treatment. A qualitative study design was employed, using a stratified purposive sample of five focus groups and three semi-structured interviews. A multidisciplinary team conducted a thematic analysis on the translated transcripts of the focus groups and interview notes. The retention of four traditional patterns of oral care and service use may increase the risk of oral disease among Vietnamese children: traditional oral hygiene practices using salt; delayed introduction of tooth-brushing; not attending a dental clinic for preventive care; and the use of lay remedies, rather than dental care, to cure pain. Language was identified as the major barrier to attending the child dental service, following notification of treatment need. The results suggest that the retention of cultural oral health practices and patterns of service use may increase the risk of oral disease among Vietnamese children. Oral health messages need to provide information in the language spoken at home; messages about dental services and western and traditional practices in oral care.

Abstract:

Background: Dupak Public Health Center is one of the public health service facilities in Surabaya that provides integrateddental and oral health services. Dupak Public Health Center covers Dupak District area. Only 8.2% out of 366 pregnantwomen visited the dental poly from April 2017–April 2018. An epidemiological study reported that dental visitationin pregnant women in the Dupak Public Health Center was still very low. Lower knowledge levels of pregnant womenabout dental and oral health caused the low dental visitation in the dental poly. An intervention was needed to changethe negative behavior related to dental and oral health, especially in pregnant women. Purpose: To increase the dentalvisitation of pregnant women in the dental poly of the Dupak Public Health Center. Methods: The program adopted thehealth education strategy with a group approach. The group means cadres of pregnant women. Pregnant women learnedabout dental and oral health during pregnancy. Results: Eight pregnant women were attending the invitation. The pretest result showed that 71.60% of pregnant women had answered questions correctly, and the post-test result showed that88.75% of pregnant women had answered the questions correctly. Conclusion: This program is effective to increase theknowledge of pregnancy woman that will lead to dental visitation.

Abstract:

The Indonesian Constitution has mandated health services for its people. Everyone has the right to receive health services, while the state is obliged to provide health services. The implementation of public health services faces problems concerning the president regulations about the increase of health insurance fee. The House of Representatives does not agree with the increase in health insurance fee, because the government should be responsible for the realization of public health services. This research uses normative legal research methods. The results showed that the government's policy of raising fees was considered unfair and burdensome to the people of Indonesia.Health services for the people of Indonesia has been mandated by The Indonesian Constitution. The denial of health services is a violation to the Indonesian constitution. The people have the right to get health services, whereas the state is responsible for providing health services. Therefore, even though the government raises fees, people expect the government to cancel the increase of the fee. Due to the fact that the Indonesian constitution has made it clear that the state is responsible for providing health services to its people.

Abstract:

Adult women in Australia are more likely than men to have no teeth, more missing teeth or have a dental hospital admission. Experiences of war, family and domestic violence, mental health or alcohol and other drug use problems may also negatively affect women’s oral health. Yet, oral health is often excluded from primary healthcare. Little is known about what helps or inhibits primary healthcare service workers to promote oral health to women in need. Identifying the perceptions and experiences of such workers is a step towards a strategy to develop resources to support them in raising oral health issues with disadvantaged clients. This paper presents findings from a qualitative study conducted at a community-based women’s health service, which used focus groups to investigate workers’ perceptions of promoting oral health and accessing services for their clients. Findings indicated how structural issues informed oral healthcare, where workers generally did not consider oral health their responsibility, were reluctant to raise the issue with clients and had limited oral health knowledge and resources. To overcome these barriers, workers identified the need for oral health resources and better linkages to the dental system to help support their clients.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Oral health care for children and adults with disabilities is a health care area that has received scant attention. It is seen that most persons with a significant disability cannot find a professional resource to provide appropriate and necessary dental care. Lack of access to dental services for this growing segment of our population is reaching critical levels and is a national dilemma.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Objective: To discuss the municipal experience of the organization and the demand for dental services, based on the guidelines of the Unified Health System (UHS), which point to the structuring of an assistance model based on universality and integrality of care and equity in access to services. Methods: The research, realized in Araçatuba/SP, was based on documentary analysis and interviews with key-informants of the UHS dental service. The traditional court model has a care system for schoolchildren and a basic network with priority for pregnant women. Results: In total, the network has 59 dental surgeons, 31 oral health auxiliaries and 17 Oral Health Teams; however, the school attendance model persists, with 10 professionals attending public schools. Based on the discussions, it is concluded that there are no established criteria for the organization of demand. Conclusion: Most of the attendance occurs by free demand, and the reference and counter-referral system is incipient, damaging the service's resoluteness.

Abstract:

Australians living in rural and remote areas have poorer access to dental care. This situation is attributed to workforce shortages, limited facilities and large distances to care centres. Against this backdrop, rural and remote Indigenous (Aboriginal) communities in Western Australia seem to be more disadvantaged because evidence suggests they have poorer oral health than non-Indigenous people. Hence, provision of dental care for Aboriginal populations in culturally appropriate settings in rural and remote Western Australia is an important public health issue. The aim of this research was to compare services between the Aboriginal Medical Services (AMS)-based clinics and a typical rural community clinic. A retrospective analysis of patient demographics and clinical treatment data was undertaken among patients who attended the dental clinics over a period of 6 years from 1999 to 2004. The majority of patients who received dental care at AMS dental clinics were Aboriginal (95.3%), compared with 8% at the non-AMS clinic. The rate of emergency at the non-AMS clinic was 33.5%, compared with 79.2% at the AMS clinics. The present study confirmed that more Indigenous patients were treated in AMS dental clinics and the mix of dental care provided was dominated by emergency care and oral surgery. This indicated a higher burden of oral disease and late utilisation of dental care services (more focus on tooth extraction) among rural and remote Indigenous people in Western Australia.

Abstract:

Introduction: Patients with government insurance such as National Health Insurance Scheme (BPJS) use capitation system with low dental services payment. Patients should be treated professionally without considering payment system whether government or private insurance. Objective: The aim of this study is to know the satisfaction of the patients who visited dental treatment in BPJS facilities. Method: Data collected using structured questionnaire from Bhayangkara, W.Z Yohanes General Hospital, Public Health center in Kupang Kota and Pasir Panjang from June 1st – October 31st 2018. There were 46 samples from each hospital and 45 from each public health center. The study variables were patient satisfaction with dental health service accessibility, communication between patient, dentist, and staff, and safety and technology during the dental treatment. Result: Patients aged between 20 and 45 years old were the most common users of dental health services (59%). Patients with BPJS and Kartu Indonesia Sehat (KIS) insurance who paid by government were the most common patients to visit a dental health service facility (83.1%). Easy access to see the dentist was highly satisfying for 83.1% of the respondents. The BPJS patients were satisfied with the results of dental treatment (68.3%) and, concerning communication, 71.6% of the patients were satisfied with the dentist’s friendliness. Patients were quite satisfied with the ease of contacting the dentist (89.1%). Regarding instrument sterilization, 26.2% of the respondents were quite satisfied. On communication related to the dental treatment procedure, 23.5% of the respondents were quite satisfied. Regarding the technology in dental treatment, 30.6% of the respondents were quite satisfied. Conclusion: BPJS patients were satisfied with dental health services which most of them had a low educational background, were female, worked as a private employee or homemaker and were patients with governmental aid.

Abstract:

The major barriers to the collection of primary population-based dental services data are: (1) Dentists do not use standard record systems; (2) few dentists use electronic records; and (3) it is costly to abstract paper dental records. The value of secondary data from paid insurance claims is limited, because dentists code only services delivered and not diagnoses, and it is difficult to obtain and merge claims from multiple insurance carriers. In a national demonstration project on the impact of community-based dental education programs on the care provided to underserved populations, we have developed a simplified dental visit encounter system. Senior students and residents from 15 dental schools (approximately 200 to 300 community delivery sites) will use computers or scannable paper forms to collect basic patient demographic and service data on several hundred thousand patient visits. Within the next 10 years, more dentists will use electronic records. To be of value to researchers, these data need to be collected according to a standardized record format and to be available regionally from public or private insurers.

Abstract:

Health insurance reduces the economic burden of diseases and enhances access to medical services. This study compared, among social classes, the utilization of preventive dental service before and after health insurance covered dental scaling. We analyzed time-series secondary data for 3 175 584 participants from 253 survey areas nationwide in the Community Health Survey (2009-2014) in Korea. The weighted proportion of participants who underwent dental scaling was defined as the scaling rate. Data regarding demographic and socioeconomic characteristics were collected. Scaling rates continuously increased over the 6-year period, particularly in 2014. College graduates had significantly higher scaling rates. Monthly income and scaling rate were positively related. Differences by education decreased over time. Differences by income were particularly high between 2012 and 2014. For women, the temporal rate was 2 times higher for professionals than for the unemployed. Despite increased dental scaling rates since the health coverage change in 2013, socioeconomic differences persist.

Abstract:

Abstract Background Regarding to oral health, little has been advanced on how to improve quality within dental care. Objective The aim of this study was to identify the demographic factors affecting the satisfaction of users of the dental public service having the value of a strategic and high consistency methodology. Method The Data Mining was used to a secondary database, contemplating 91 features, segmental in 9 demographic factors, 17 facets, and 5 dominions. Descriptive statistics were extracted to a demographic data and the satisfaction of the users by facets and dominions, being discovered as from Decision Trees and Association Rules. Results the analysis of the results showed the relation between the demographic factor 'professional occupation' and satisfaction, in all of the dominions. The occupations of general assistant and home assistant with daily wage stood out in Association Rules to represent the lower level of satisfaction compared to the facets that were worse evaluated. Also, the factor ‘health unit's name’ showed relation with most of the investigated dominions. The difference between health units was even more evident through the Association Rule. Conclusion The Data Mining allowed to identify complementary relations to the user's perception about the public oral health services quality, constituting a safe tool to support the management of Brazilian public health and the basis of future plans.

Abstract:

Oral disease continues to be a major problem in Australia impacting quality of life, the economy and broader health system. Although the understanding of caries and periodontal disease has improved along with increased government support, oral diseases continue to be the most prevalent among all health conditions. This is despite unprecedented levels of funding in the Chronic Disease Dental Scheme and the Teen Dental Plan. Access to primary care dentistry in the private sector, where the majority of dental services are provided, remains a critical issue. Under the current system of dentistry, it cannot be assumed that the practice of dentistry represents a prioritised approach to combat disease patterns based on scientific evidence in primary health and prevention. Drawing on data in relation to these two programs, the present study highlights issues impacting dental service provision. This includes issues such as access and affordability to dental care, sustainability of policy and its unintended consequences, private practice pressures and the impact of remuneration on treatment. This paper argues that without structural reform there will continue to be barriers in implementing policies capable of improving oral health. What is known about the topic? The burden of oral diseases remains high and there continue to be problems in accessing and affording dental treatment. What does this paper add? This paper highlights factors impacting dental service provision and offers potential solutions to improve access to primary care dentistry. What are the implications for practitioners? A consideration of these factors may assist policy makers and governments in formulating effective policies.

Abstract:

Despite the fines and action taken by authorities against illegal dental practise, it could not be eliminated and remain a threat to the public’s oral health. The aim of this study was to gather holistic evidence on unlicensed dental practice by collating news coverage, scientific research publications, and information on social media activities of illegal dental practitioners. Information on news coverage was collated via Google, Yahoo and Bing while information on research publications was obtained through three databases, Scopus, Pubmed and Google Scholar. Public data from Facebook and Instagram were extracted to gain information on illegal dental services actively provided. Out of 195 news reported regarding unlicensed dental practitioner, only 110 news reported on legal actions received with 81 news reports were on financial punishments, and the rest was on jail terms or probation. For scientific publications, only 13 related publications were found, and the majority were case reports. Despite having a law that stated an unlicensed dentist would be punished, there were more than 170 Facebook, and Instagram users with thousands of followers found actively offering illegal dental services to the public. In conclusion, not much attention was paid by the scientific community on illegal dental practice despite it being a significant public health issue and covered quite thoroughly in the news, and services are still actively offered through social media. This descriptive report helps give a holistic perspective on the illegal dental service providers issue, especially in Malaysia.

Abstract:

Background: A systematic review synthesizing studies examining the determinants of dental service use drawing on the (extended) Andersen model is lacking. Hence, our purpose was to fill this knowledge gap; Methods: Three established electronic databases (PubMed, PsycInfo, as well as CINAHL) were searched. Observational studies focusing on the determinants of dental service use drawing on the Andersen model were included; Results: In sum, 41 studies have been included (ten studies investigating children/adolescents and 31 studies investigating adults). Among children, particularly higher age (predisposing characteristic), higher income (enabling resource) and more oral health problems (need factor) were associated with increased dental service use. Among adults, findings are, in general, less consistent. However, it should be noted that one half of the studies found an association between increased education (predisposing characteristic) and increased dental service. In general, study quality was rather high. However, it should be noted that most studies did not report how they dealt with missing data; Conclusions: Our systematic review revealed that all components (i.e., predisposing characteristics, enabling resources and need factors) of the Andersen model tend to be associated with dental service use among children, whereas the findings are more mixed among adults. In conclusion, beyond need factors, dental service use also tend to be driven by other factors. This may indicate over—or, more likely—underuse of dental services and could enrich the inequality discussion in dental services research.

Abstract:

This study aimed at identifying the prevalence of the negative evaluation of dental services among elderly Brazilians and at investigating whether the prevalence was higher among those using public or philanthropic provider services than among those paying privately or using private health plans. Additionally, factors associated with this negative assessment were identified. Interview and survey data were collected in the residences of participants by trained and calibrated examiners as part of a national epidemiological survey of oral health conditions of the Brazilian population in 2002/2003. The dependent variable was obtained in response to questions regarding whether the participant had ever used dental services, the frequency of use, and the quality of this service. Potential responses to the questions regarding the quality of service were very poor or poor, fair, and good or very good. The main independent variable was the system of health care used with potential responses being health plan or private, public, and philanthropic services. We conducted univariate (linear tendency χ2test) and multiple descriptive analyses, and the partial proportional Odds model for ordinal logistic regression. Among the elderly, 196 (3.7%) evaluated the provided services negatively (very poor or poor). Participants with the following responses were more likely to evaluate the services negatively: those who had used public or philanthropic services, men, those with higher education, the ones who had not received information about preventing dental problems, those who perceived pain in their teeth and gums in the last six months, and those who self-reported their oral health and speech was poor. In conclusion, elderly Brazilian users of public and philanthropic services were more likely than users of private or insurance-based plans to evaluate their dental services negatively, regardless of the other investigated variables.

Abstract:

Objectives: Demand for dental care is expected to outpace supply through 2025. The objectives of this study were to determine the extent of pediatric dental care shortages in Georgia and to develop a general method for estimation that can be applied to other states. Methods: We estimated supply and demand for pediatric preventive dental care for the 159 counties in Georgia in 2015. We compared pediatric preventive dental care shortage areas (where demand exceeded twice the supply) designated by our methods with dental health professional shortage areas designated by the Health Resources & Services Administration. We estimated caries risk from a multivariate analysis of National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data and national census data. We estimated county-level demand based on the time needed to perform preventive dental care services and the proportion of time that dentists spend on pediatric preventive dental care services from the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey. Results: Pediatric preventive dental care supply exceeded demand in Georgia in 75 counties: the average annual county-level pediatric preventive dental care demand was 16 866 hours, and the supply was 32 969 hours. We identified 41 counties as pediatric dental care shortage areas, 14 of which had not been designated by the Health Resources & Services Administration. Conclusions: Age- and service-specific information on dental care shortage areas could result in more efficient provider staffing and geographic targeting.

Abstract:

Across the world, the segment of the elderly in populations is seen to be increasing at a rapid rate. There also exists a trend in which more teeth are retained as age increases due to effective dental public health measures like fluoridation. This inevitably places an increased need for dental healthcare among the geriatric populations. Since oral health greatly affects the systemic health of aged individuals, it is imperative for dentists and physicians to work together as a team to impart treatment to the best of one’s abilities for geriatric patients. It is therefore, necessary to first assess the oral health concerns surrounding the geriatric population from the perspective of public health dentistry. Relationship of the elderly with periodontal disease, dental caries, salivary hyposalivation and xerostomia, cognitive changes, and simultaneous usage of diverse medications was discussed. This paper reviewed the literature and then examined and discussed the various problems mentioned in depth and suggested recommendations for a plan of action. Knowledge about the specific oral health concerns and issues will help to better position us in developing strategies for providing better oral healthcare to the geriatric population in addition to the existing systemic healthcare. In the future, the elderly will make up a huge portion of the demographic visiting dentist regularly for a myriad of oral health problems. Dental health professionals therefore, must have adequate training and competency to deal with the predicament of this geriatric population. Preventive and treatment services can ensure healthy aging which will improve the quality of life.

Abstract:

It is important to comply with the administrative and regulatory requirements in hiring and provision of position for Dentists that underwent public admission examinations to operate on public health service. The activity provided by dental general practitioner or member of a Family Health Team-FHT is characterized by continuous and indispensable health services to the population. Therefore, it is recommended that these positions, whenever possible, be filled by public admission examinations. This paper aims to report a case of investigation by the Public Ministry with forensic dental counseling, in which aspects of provision of position and operation of Dentists of the FHT and general practitioners in the Brazilian public health system were compared, addressing the ethical and legal aspects inherent to the subject. In the case studied it was found that the functions performed by Dentists who work in the FHT and Basic Health Units are similar to each other, and that no technical requirements allowing one to differ them from another were noticed. It is emphasized that municipal managers must respect the legal principles concerning the provision of position for professionals to work in the public health service, under penalty of having their professional conducts investigated by the Public Ministry.
