The Student Health Initiative for the Needs of Edmonton (SHINE) dental clinic is a student-operated volunteer clinic offering free services to low-income individuals. This study aimed to explore the access to dental care needs of low-income groups, from community health brokers' perspectives.Case description: The study was deemed exempt from ethical approval (Pro00074745). Five semistructured interviews exploring access to dental care were conducted with health brokers purposefully selected from 4 different community outreach centres. Access was defined and analysed using Penchansky and Thomas' theory of access as modified by Saurman.Results: Interviews revealed lack of awareness of the SHINE clinic. Translation and interpretation support was an identified need, and there was concern for clients who fear discrimination in health care settings.Conclusion: Preliminary barriers to care at SHINE were identified. However, further investigation is required to understand how SHINE aligns with population needs.","PeriodicalId":53470,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Dental Hygiene","volume":"55 2","pages":"120-123"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8219066/pdf/CanJDentHyg-55-2-120.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39157715","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of an oral hygiene regimen (OHR) on the periodontal health of adults in good general health with established gingivitis and early periodontitis over 24 months.Methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted in adults with established gingivitis, with isolated sites of probing pocket depth >4 mm. Study participants were randomized to the OHR (bioavailable stannous fluoride dentifrice, oscillating-rotating electric toothbrush, cetylpyridinium chloride rinse, and floss; P&G) or usual care products (sodium fluoride dentifrice and manual toothbrush; P&G) groups. At baseline and every 6 months, gingivitis and periodontal measures were assessed and a prophylaxis was conducted. The primary outcome was Gingival Bleeding Index-Bleeding Sites (GBI-BS). Analyses used ANCOVA at 5% significance levels.Results: A total of 107 individuals were enrolled; 87 completed the study. Mean GBI-BS, Modified Gingival Index, and Probing Pocket Depth (PPD) scores were significantly lower at each visit for the OHR versus usual care group by 28% to 39%, 12% to 18%, and 6% to 13%, respectively (p≤ 0.0009).

The survey asked students to rank their levels of challenge and self-confidence in learning 23 of the course objectives throughout each academic year. Four semi-structured interviews were also conducted with faculty and staff members involved in teaching or coordinating this course to understand their experiences after the course revisions.Results: Response rates were 32% to 57%. After the course renewal, the extent to which students in the entry-to-practice cohort felt extremely challenged to learn each objective was significantly reduced (25% vs. 3%, p < 0.001), and students' self-confidence scores significantly increased (12% vs. 30%, p < 0.001).The changes on the challenge and confidence scores in the degree-completion cohort were not statistically significant (23% vs. 24% and 31% vs. 36%, respectively).

A thematic content analysis approach was used to sort the data, enabling identification of the storyline and photonovel contents from the themes that emerged. Comic Life 3 version 3.1.1 software was used to create a \"Safeguard Your Smile\" (SYS) photonovel, which was printed for pilot testing. Ten additional participants were recruited for this pilot testing, enabling further revision of the photonovel based on their suggestions.Results: Four major themes emerged from the focus group discussions: 1) lack of understanding of oral hygiene self-care and risk factors; 2) lack of oral hygiene self-care-related awareness and routine; 3) lack of emphasis on prevention by oral health care providers; and 4) perceived barriers to accessing dental health care. Thematic content analysis revealed a lack of knowledge of oral hygiene self-care skills and routine. Guided by these overarching themes, a final version of the photonovel script was created including photographs of key characters. The photonovel was subsequently printed for pilot testing. Pilot test results revealed close to 80% of participants agreed that the SYS photonovel was culturally and linguistically appropriate and easy to understand.Conclusions: A culturally and linguistically appropriate photonovel may be a useful tool for enhancing oral hygiene self-care knowledge among ethnic communities. Further studies are required to test the effectiveness of such a tool.","PeriodicalId":53470,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Dental Hygiene","volume":"55 1","pages":"30-38"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7906123/pdf/CanJDentHyg-55-1-30.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"25414798","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Assessment of oral hygiene behavioural patterns is essential for understanding clients' oral health care needs. The aim of this study was to investigate orthodontic clients' oral hygiene behaviours, brushing techniques, and oral hygiene awareness.Methods: A total of 200 orthodontic clients wearing fixed orthodontic appliances were consecutively recruited from the Sichuan Provincial Hospital, Chengdu, China, and the Faculty of Dentistry, University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand. A 47-item questionnaire was used to survey study participants.Results: The survey had a 92% response rate, with 67.5% of respondents being female and 32.5% male. Most were non-smokers (94.2%) and the majority (80.0%) brushed their teeth twice daily. Most (80.4%) brushed their teeth for 1 to 2 minutes, and 68.7% positioned their toothbrush both horizontally and vertically, with horizontal being the preferred direction of motion. One-third (33.5%) did not use any auxiliary oral hygiene aids; most snacked between meals; only 31.4% received professional tooth cleaning during orthodontic treatment; and 56.8% experienced an increased level of halitosis after appliance placement. Most respondents (79.4%) thought their oral hygiene was good, but 51.0% reported bleeding gums during tooth brushing, 31.4% found they rarely bled, and only 17.6% reported no bleeding. Most respondents agreed that good oral health was very important for orthodontic treatment and that their own efforts were the most important factors.Conclusions: Client awareness of the importance of oral hygiene during orthodontic treatment requires improvement. Clinician reinforcement of oral hygiene should become a priority for orthodontic clients.","PeriodicalId":53470,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Dental Hygiene","volume":"54 3","pages":"124-132"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7668273/pdf/CanJDentHyg-54-3-124.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"38303409","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through a community-engaged program at a Canadian university, dental hygiene students provided preventive care at an organization supporting this population. This study explored the impact of these oral care services from client and organization staff perspectives.Methods: One focus group with 6 clients, 2-person interviews with 4 clients, individual interviews with 3 clients, and one focus group with 4 organization staff members were conducted. Discussions were audio recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analysed thematically. The concept of access, proposed by Penchansky and Thomas (1981) and Saurman (2015), was used as the conceptual framework to organize the themes.Results: Nine themes were identified from the focus group and interview discussions: limited options, convenience, realistic expectations, respect and attention, no judgement, physical environment, communication, clients' unique needs, and appropriate messaging.Discussion: The clinic's close proximity and services, for which women did not need to pay out-of-pocket, facilitated access to preventive care. The person-centred and trauma-informed care further facilitated access. However, access to comprehensive care through referrals was limited by cost and likely issues of stigmatization from other dental care providers. Clinic aesthetics, advertising, and communication between the students and women receiving care also hindered access.Conclusion: Preventive oral care services provided at this clinic for marginalized and vulnerable women who have been involved with the criminal justice system were valued by clients and staff. Findings will help inform future community-based dental hygiene clinics for this population.","PeriodicalId":53470,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Dental Hygiene","volume":"54 3","pages":"133-143"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7668268/pdf/CanJDentHyg-54-3-133.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"38303410","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data were collected from semi-structured interviews with 10 dental hygienists actively practising in California, Oregon or Colorado. The interviews were audiorecorded, transcribed verbatim, and verified for accuracy. Data analysis included open coding and axial coding to determine larger, related segments of data called categories providing an overall descriptive summary of DHDx. Two independent peer examinations and member checks established validity of the data analysis.Results: Four categories emerged from the study: expertise and confidence; client communication; dental hygiene care plan; and dentists' trust. Participants revealed that expertise and confidence in performing the DHDx was gained through clinical practice. During client care, discussing the DHDx with clients helped to make them aware of their health condition. The development of the dental hygiene care plan was based on the results of the assessment data and the DHDx. Participants stated that their employer/dentist trusted them to diagnose.Conclusions: A qualitative descriptive study was conducted to summarize dental hygienists' experiences with DHDx in 3 US states; 4 categories emerged. The DHDx informs the client, increases understanding, and engages the client in the decision-making process. Further study is warranted to identify a more contemporary definition of DHDx and to compare how DHDx is utilized by dental hygienists in other countries.","PeriodicalId":53470,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Dental Hygiene","volume":"54 3","pages":"113-123"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7668276/pdf/CanJDentHyg-54-3-113.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"38303408","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
