Participants underwent a complete periodontal examination. Based on these data, SPER was evaluated considering three definitions: CDC/AAP, EFP/AAP, and the presence of two sextants with probing depth (PD)≥ 6 mm. Questionnaire performance was analysed using the chi-square test and logistic regression with an assessment of sensitivity (SS), specificity (SP) and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.Results: In total, 243 individuals completed the questionnaire. The prevalence of SPER was 47.3%. When SPER patients were compared with the controls (using the CDC/AAP criteria), significant differences in the means of interproximal clinical attachment loss and PD values were observed (p < 0.05). Responses to three of the eight questions, \"having gum disease\" (odds ratio [OR] = 2.6, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.5-4.7), \"general health of teeth and gums\" (OR = 0.5, 95% CI = 0.2-0.9) and \"tooth mobility\" (OR 2.6, 95% CI = 1.5-4.7) were associated with SPER (p < 0.05). In the regression analysis, the best models to predict SPER were those that included all the self-reported questions and all sociodemographic variables either using CDC/AAP definitions (SS = 69.7%, SP = 80.3, ROC= 0.806) or the presence of two sextants with PD≥ 6 mm (SS = 82.1%, SP = 69.2, ROC = 0.861).Concluding remarks: The CDC/AAP Self-reported periodontal questionnaire administered by CHWs to screen individuals for severe periodontitis was effectively capable of screening patients with this disease.","PeriodicalId":10647,"journal":{"name":"Community dental health","volume":" ","pages":"265539X251361702"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144706608","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This qualitative study involved semi-structured interviews with participants who have either undergone dental bleaching or considered it. Patients were recruited from multiple dental practices in the Netherlands, the researcher's personal network and via social media pages. The individual interviews focused on understanding patient interactions with social media related to dental bleaching. Data were analyzed using conventional content analysis. A total of 16 interviews were conducted, including 10 males and six females. 18 themes were identified across five categories: social media usage, decision factors for dental bleaching, potential risks of dental bleaching, the role of dentists in social media and the credibility of social media as an information source. Social media exposure to dental bleaching advertisements was often passive via algorithms rather than through active searches. Such content was often met with skepticism regarding authenticity and commercial motives. Most participants reported that social media had a minimal influence on their decision-making for dental bleaching, however, many also agreed that social media promote beauty standards that could indirectly influence cosmetic treatment decisions. Dental professionals remained the most trusted source of information. Social media play a complex role in influencing decisions about dental bleaching. Dental professionals have an increasingly important responsibility in providing credible and professionally supported dental health information, allowing patients to make informed decisions about their dental health.","PeriodicalId":10647,"journal":{"name":"Community dental health","volume":" ","pages":"265539X251361703"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144648786","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The participants were categorized into three groups based on the DVS: low (0-3 points), middle (4-6 points), and high (7-10 points). The baseline and follow-up measurements were compared.ResultsSignificant improvements were observed in oral function tests, specifically in oral diadochokinesis (ODK)/ta/and swallowing ability (RSST), particularly in the low-DVS group. Nutritional guidance led to increased dietary diversity in all groups except the high-DVS group. Despite the improvements in dietary diversity, no significant changes in body composition were observed during the study period. Sex-specific differences were observed, with females showing greater improvements in ODK/ta/ and DVS, whereas males showed significant improvements in RSST.ConclusionsNutritional guidance, particularly for patients with a low baseline DVS, may help improve oral function and dietary diversity.

This systematic review and meta-analysis aim to investigate the association between CKD and oral health.Methods: The review included observational studies (cross-sectional, case-control, and cohort) involving adults (≥18 years) comparing individuals with and without CKD regarding the number of missing teeth, edentulism, or the decayed, missing, and filled teeth (DMFT) index, a recognized indicator of oral health. The databases PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science, together with references, were searched up to October 10, 2024. The results were synthesized using meta-analysis in RevMan software.Results: Eight case-control studies from Portugal, Turkey, Japan, Brazil, and Thailand were included, with sample sizes ranging from 30 to 204 participants. CKD patients had significantly more missing teeth (mean difference +3.17; 95% CI 2.07-4.28), fewer filled teeth (mean difference -1.23; 95% CI -1.82; -0.64), and higher DMFT scores (mean difference +2.60; 95% CI 1.34; 3.86) compared to controls. No significant difference was found in the number of decayed teeth (mean difference 0.31; 95% CI -0.15; 0.76). The methodological quality of studies ranged from 4 to 7 stars.Conclusions: Patients with CKD, especially those on hemodialysis, experience more tooth loss and higher DMFT scores, highlighting a gap in oral health care within dialysis units. Although the findings highlight the importance of addressing oral health in CKD patients, further studies are needed in developed countries to better understand the interplay between both conditions.","PeriodicalId":10647,"journal":{"name":"Community dental health","volume":" ","pages":"265539X251355212"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144616585","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The course involved four UK dental students participating in a 2-week course run by the University of Puthisastra in Cambodia. Students undertook skills training and competency testing and provided care alongside Cambodian dental personnel in routine mobile dental clinics. They also observed the practices of local dentists in their private clinics, participated in workshops on social determinants of health and systems thinking, and visited local marketplaces to contextualise their learning. The visiting students were exposed to global health concepts and developed skills in oral health service delivery in non-conventional settings. By working with a large number of patients and gained both organisational and clinical skills. The program received positive feedback. Adjusting workshop timing and length, along with pre-learning through online courses, can improve the content and depth of the course.","PeriodicalId":10647,"journal":{"name":"Community dental health","volume":" ","pages":"265539X251355215"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144616642","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Articles included in the review were those published between January 1995 and May 2024 which were related to dental professional education and deemed relevant to social accountability.Results and conclusions: Four themes of relevance to social accountability were identified in the literature (curriculum design and delivery, attitudes, social responsiveness, and cultural competence). This review highlights challenges in measuring the community impact of socially accountable approaches in dental education. There is a need for more longitudinal research to assess the long-term impacts of social accountability in dental education.

Real world cases are presented that showcase health screening interventions implemented in the UK. Non-communicable diseases including diabetes and cardiovascular disease are a global public health challenge. They are largely preventable by implementing lifestyle changes such as healthy eating and participation in physical activity, regular health screening for disease prevention, and/or early initiation of treatment. Hypertension case finding and control is one of the key five areas of focus for adult health, and oral health and diabetes are two of five key clinical areas for children and young people where efforts should be focused to intervene, improve outcomes and reduce inequalities. Links between oral and chronic diseases have been discussed in recent years. Therefore, screening for diabetes and cardiovascular disease has become of greater relevance to the dental profession. There is emerging evidence indicating that screening for the risk factors of cardiovascular diseases and diabetes in dental settings shows promise for improving health outcomes and may offer a cost-effective preventive approach for the detection of diabetes. Real-world services implementing health screening in dental settings have highlighted possibilities for the future and highlight the potential for the role of the dental team in detecting chronic diseases.","PeriodicalId":10647,"journal":{"name":"Community dental health","volume":" ","pages":"237-243"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142342980","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
