摘要:

AbstractA tooth‐oriented caries measure has limitations in depicting the caries experience in the primary dentition for a population. Caries patterns based on the child have been presented previously and quantified. The purpose of this study was to explore proportional changes in caries patterns of the primary dentition in two populations. Graphic representation is suggested in developing a model.Children two to five years of age were examined in a city pediatric dental clinic and in a suburban private practice and were categorized as caries‐free or as having one of the following etiology‐oriented caries experiences associated with lesion sites: Fissures, Hypoplasia, Facial‐Lingual, Molar‐Approximal, or Facial Lingual/Molar‐Approximal. Over 85 percent of children aged 2.5 years or younger were either caries‐free or fit the Facial‐Lingual category consistent with descriptions of “nursing caries.” Trends explored in this study would not be evident using an average for a tooth‐or

摘要:

AbstractWe have surveyed the health promotion efforts of dentists and dental hygienists in general dental practice in Chittenden County, Vermont, in relation to smoking. The response rate was 61 percent. Smoking issues were addressed by 76 percent of dentists and 81 percent of dental hygienists in approximately one quarter of their smoking patients. Although the majority of both dentists and dental hygienists advised their patients to change their smoking behavior, their advice was usually to cut down rather than to quit. Most of the respondents—78 percent of dentists and 93 percent of dental hygienists—considered it appropriate to give advice about smoking during visits for routine dental care and 68 percent and 89 percent, respectively, were willing to learn brief methods of advising their patients about smoking. Experience with giving advice about smoking and agreement that it was appropriate to give such advice were both strongly related to willingness to learn brief methods of giving such advice.In individual dental practices, there were virtually no correlations between the dentist's and the dental hygienist's behaviors as far as the proportion of patients from whom a smoking history was taken, the proportion of smokers advised about smoking, the content of the advice, or the nature of the advice.Only nine percent of dentists and 11 percent of dental hygienists were current smok

摘要:

AbstractThe dental health system of Saudi Arabia is discussed. Despite greater than average resources, crucial decisions are required to develop an effective dental health system. The development of dental policy may be benefited by modifying the curative‐treatment model of care to one that is preventive‐behavioralist orien
