A questionnaire specifically developed for this research and the \"Ageism Scale for Dental Students\" (ASDS) were applied before and after geriatric dentistry courses in all three dental schools.Results: Among 184 dental students, 51.6% (n = 95) improved their ageism scores. Dental students who improved ASDS scores were more likely to be from a public dental school (56 .7% vs. 40.4%; p = .040), in their 8th and 10th semesters (56 .7% vs. 40.4%; p = .040), and females (55 .6% vs. 36.8%; p = .040). Other factors such as age, ethnicity, history of living with older adults, history of taking care of older adults, and knowledge of ageism were not significantly associated with ageism score improvement. Only institutional affiliation and age remained significant predictors in the final model.Conclusion: In this study, the main variables correlated with reducing ageism among dental students were institutional affiliation and age.","PeriodicalId":47470,"journal":{"name":"Special Care in Dentistry","volume":" ","pages":"e13086"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142630435","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, it is not effective in conveying oral health concepts due to communication barriers, resulting in suboptimal oral health outcomes. This study aims to evaluate the impact of the jigsaw puzzle assisted visual reinforcement (JPVR) technique on toothbrushing knowledge, practices, and clinical parameters among HSI adolescents.Methods: The study was carried out as a single-blind randomized controlled trial in a public school in Belagavi, India for a period of three months. The study included 95 participants who were randomly allocated into two groups. One group received sign language with JPVR technique, and the other group received only sign language. A self-designed 15-item closed-ended questionnaire (Cronbach's alpha value of 0.88; content validity ratio = 0.85) was developed to assess the knowledge, and practices at baseline and 3 months. Plaque and gingival indices were also recorded.Results: At the end of 3 months, the knowledge gained and practices improved in JPVR group were significantly higher compared to sign language group (p = .001). The mean plaque score was significantly lower in JPVR group than that in the sign language group (p = .001); however, gingival index did not show any statistically significant difference at 3 months.Conclusion: The current study demonstrated that OHE utilizing JPVR technique led to significant improvements in toothbrushing knowledge, practices, and plaque scores compared to that of conventional sign language. This promising strategy has the potential to be cost-effective and does not incorporate specialized sign language training for health professionals.","PeriodicalId":47470,"journal":{"name":"Special Care in Dentistry","volume":" ","pages":"e13069"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142376128","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fractal dimension (FD) and PI were assessed to evaluate the alveolar trabecular bone structural complexity and mineral content. The difference in FD values between the 7th and 60th postoperative days in KT individuals (0.03 ± 0.08) was significantly lower compared to those of CKFh individuals (0.09 ± 0.10) and controls (0.15 ± 0.06). As for the difference in PI values, KT (4.55 ± 10.24) and CKFh groups (9.88 ± 15.90) showed significantly lower values compared to those of the control group (17.93 ± 11.86) in the same period. These results indicate a lower gain in the trabecular bone complexity and bone density in the alveolus of KT individuals compared to the other groups.Conclusions: Overall mineral content and thickness of the bone in the plane of the x-ray beam were lower in KT and CKFh individuals compared to controls, reflecting the need for careful consideration in recommending rehabilitation with dental implants for these patients. Particular attention should be given to the potential challenges in oral rehabilitation of KT patients.","PeriodicalId":47470,"journal":{"name":"Special Care in Dentistry","volume":" ","pages":"e13065"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142336901","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Geriatric Attitude Scale (GAS-14) questionnaire and an additional questionnaire on the geriatric curriculum were used. Demographic information including age, sex, nationality, religion, marital-, and accommodation-status was collected. Three hundred and five hygienists (PP: n = 148, mean-age: 43.7 ± 11.9 years; DHS: n = 157, mean-age: 25.4 ± 4.6 years) participated. The overall mean GAS-14 scores were significantly different (p = 0.008) between PP (3.48 ± 0.36) and DHS (3.61 ± 0.42). GAS-14 scores were not correlated to demographic parameters. DHS valued the geriatric curriculum more (p = 0.002) and rated their training higher (p = 0.001). PP lacked confidence in treating elderly patients alone (p < 0.001). DHS wanted more hands-on training (p < 0.001). PP preferred hospital- (p < 0.001) or nursing home- (p = 0.039) treatment settings, DHS preferred mobile clinics (p = 0.028) for treating immobile elders.Conclusions: Swiss dental hygienist students and hygienists in private practice exhibit a favorable attitude toward treating elderly patients, with students showing a slightly more positive perspective. The results underscore the need for continuing education programs and hands-on workshops in geriatric dentistry to boost the practitioners' confidence and attitudes.","PeriodicalId":47470,"journal":{"name":"Special Care in Dentistry","volume":"45 1","pages":"e70007"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143415319","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The majority (92%) had received referrals for patients with disabilities, 53% reported treating up to 10 patients, while 37% reported treating up to 50 patients in the last 5 years. Most of the participants (64%) showed a willingness to treat more patients with disabilities, with this interest significantly and conversely linked to years in practice (p = 0.02, chi-squared test). Orthodontists desire more referrals to increase patient intake, and also financial incentives play a relevant role in this context. Regarding the preferred location for orthodontic treatment for patients with disabilities, 34% prefer treatment in specialized centers rather than the current setup in optional private practices. An association exists between this perspective and the readiness to treat additional patients (p = 0.009) CONCLUSION: Most orthodontists in Norway have treated patients with disabilities. Among the surveyed orthodontists, a notable 64% expressed a positive inclination toward treating more patients with disabilities or initiate such services. To enhance their acceptance of these patients, it seems crucial to increase referrals and provide improved financial incentives.","PeriodicalId":47470,"journal":{"name":"Special Care in Dentistry","volume":"45 1","pages":"e70003"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143060907","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
