摘要:

AbstractThis report deals with a three‐year study by the American Dental Association pertaining to the Future of Dentistry. The report covers environment of dentistry, dental research, dental manpower, public and professional concerns, dental education, and dental practice. It concludes with the following recommendations:1. Convert public unmet need into demand for dental services.2. Prepare practitioners (existing and future) to be more patient/market oriented.3. Broaden practitioner's clinical skills and mix of services offered to the public.4. Influence the quality and quantity of the manpower supply.5. Stimulate research and development.6. Improve the profession's ability to favorably influence public polic

摘要:

AbstractThis paper reviews the six recommendations as approved by the House of Delegates of the American Dental Association in 1983. Each recommendation is reviewed in relation to public health and preventive dentistry as well as the established goal of dental hygiene: “To improve the public's total health by increasing the awareness of and access to quality oral health care and to position the dental hygienist as the preventive oral health professional.”To reach this goal it is recommended that dental hygienists seek out opportunities in the public sector where there is more job satisfaction, their professional roles have higher acceptance with both coworkers and patients, and there is a high level of interaction with other health‐care professi

摘要:

AbstractThe American Dental Association's Strategic Plan for the Future of Dentistry is primarily a self‐serving document in that it attempts to protect the dentist regardless of the changing oral health needs of the population. Marketing, even if initially successful, will not increase the absolute demand for dental services, because persons on maintenance care require less care per year than sporadic users. Higher use will be balanced by less need. Excess supply creates incentive to overtreat. Today's dentist, as the dominant provider, does not have major motivation toward prevention, either by training or economic self‐interest. The paper proposes that a modified hygienist, with more diagnostic training, should become the primary dental provider, with a better trained dentist as a secondary provider, combining problem solving and “surgical” skills. These changes would function best under a system combining group practice with a national health

摘要:

AbstractSince Grand Rapids became the first community to adjust the fluoride content of its water supply, individuals and groups have objected to water fluoridation. Early opponents of fluoridation were often members of fringe groups or were associated with the health food movement, were chiropractors, or were Christian Scientists. Once these individuals and groups began exchanging ideas and experiences, national groups were formed for the sole purpose of fighting fluoridation. While most of these organizations lacked sufficient funding or expertise to have much impact outside of the communities where they were based, some national multi‐issue organizations appeared that were well funded and that focused on antifluoridation as one of their goals. Through exploitation of society's current phobias about health and disease, these national groups have become increasingly successful in negatively influencing the public about the effectiveness, safety, and economy of community water fluoridation. Their tactics range from community actions aimed at local governmental bodies, to well‐organized local referenda, to litigation in state and federal courts, to lobbying state legislatures, and the US Congress. Specific legal, community organizational, and political tactics employed by the antifluoride groups are reviewed and classif

摘要:

AbstractState dental directors were surveyed in spring 1984 regarding fluoridation and fluoride programs. Forty‐four states reported existing fluoride mouth‐rinse programs in schools; 22, fluoride tablets in schools. About 90 percent of directors felt that support for fluoride programs by state departments of health and constituent dental societies either had remained the same or increased over the previous five years. Approximately half felt the antifluoridation movement to be as strong as five years earlier. About one‐third indicated a shift in focus by water fluoridation opponents to include other fluoride systems. Most felt this shift occurred during 1981–82. Information was reported on 255 individual challenges to fluoride programs. Results of this survey indicate that expenditure of considerable resources and effort continues to be necessary to ensure the longevity of public fluoride
