摘要:

The long‐standing problem of access to dental care for persons with developmental disabilities in rural Northern California has been addressed in several communities by a unique community‐based program. The goal was to create a coalition to coordinate dental school resources with those of a consortium of agencies to address problems in the local communities. This program established a community‐based model demonstrating the provision of quality preventive and therapeutic dental services to these individuals.Through this program, dental care delivery systems were formed in three rural communities involving local community dentists and agency personnel. The role of the dental school was: (1) to establish and then work with a consortium of hospitals, agencies, dentists, and other dental personnel; (2) to train local dental personnel; (3) to establish and equip hospital dental facilities; (4) to conduct dental screening and triage clinics; (5) to consult with local agencies and dentists; (6) to act as a referral center for patients with complex medical situations; and (7) to develop and disseminate preventive dentistry training mate

摘要:

To determine whether financial incentives would have an impact on the quality of care, we compared patient satisfaction in a “regular” daytime postdoctoral general dentistry clinic and an “after‐hours” clinic, using a 14‐item mail questionnaire to a randomly selected sample of adult patients, stratified by age and gender. The providers in both clinics were identical; however, the method of compensation was different. When residents treated patients in the regular clinic, they were paid a fixed stipend, while the “after‐hours” clinic residents' compensation was fee‐for‐service. The percentage of patients giving very favorable or favorable responses was high in both clinics. However, the response of patients in the “after‐hours” clinic was more favorable for total number of visits required for care to be completed, management of pain, and politeness of receptionists. This study demonstrated that the payment of financial incentives to residents did not reduce and may even have en

摘要:

A 19‐year‐old pregnant woman presented with an enlarging lesion in the right mandible. She was examined by a general dental practice resident in the hospital outpatient clinic and subsequently managed by the resident as an inpatient. Both moral and ethical questions arose because of the discovery of the lesion early in the patient's pregnancy. Delay on the part of the patient while she contemplated termination of the pregnancy, compounded by loss of contact with her, eliminated the possibility of removal of the lesion during the second trimester. The patient elected to continue the pregnancy, and an en bloc procedure was used to remove the ameloblast

摘要:

The study was carried out to gain information about the availability and the accessibility of dental services to adults with physical disabilities in Gateshead, an industrial town with a population of 199, 5881situated in northeast England. Questionnaires were sent to all general dental practices to ascertain the dental staffs perceptions of the accessibility of their premises, their willingness to treat people with disabilities, and the types of treatment offered. The main problem for access was caused by stairs and other physical barriers within buildings. Lack of portable equipment limited the scope of domiciliary treatment offered.

This is a case report of a 21‐year‐old with possible Seckel syndrome (bird‐headed dwarfism), micro‐gnathia, microdontia, severe bony undercuts, and periodontal disease who sought treatment at a university dental clinic. Treatment included extractions, periodontal therapy, retention of premolars with sealants, and overdentures with resilient soft liners. A limited review of Seckel syndrome literature is included.

摘要:

A growing number of older Americans use a computer at home, and half of seniors who own computers also own modems that can connect them to online services; 25% of seniors with computers communicate with online services. Over 70% of online seniors use their computers every day. The dental office can interactively communicate one‐on‐one with current and prospective patients using an electronic mail newsletter, a Web page newsletter, an “Ask the Dentist” online service, or by making dental appointments online. Dental practitioners can take advantage of this online revolution and promote oral health for seniors using these techn
