It is the preferred conservative approach for lightening discolored teeth. The primary objective of tooth bleaching is to whiten teeth using oxidizing chemicals that work on both enamel and dentin. The noninvasive nature of modern bleaching systems allow for effective treatment options that meet the high expectations of patients. The objective of this study was to investigate the knowledge, attitude, and practices of dental practitioners in South India for managing discolored upper front teeth. We created and distributed a structured, validated questionnaire about bleaching discolored anterior teeth to South Indian dental practitioners and analyzed the data. We found a statistically significant relationship between endodontists and general dentists in their preferences for isolation techniques, choice of materials for vital bleaching, management of intact nonvital teeth, and management of postbleaching sensitivity. Women exhibit a greater preference for teeth-whitening procedures than men, with 74% opting for whitening treatments. The predominant method for addressing tooth discoloration is bleaching, which makes up approximately 63.8% of the whitening procedures. In-office bleaching is the preferred method for both vital and nonvital bleaching procedures, demonstrating its widespread acceptance and preference among practitioners.</p>","PeriodicalId":74460,"journal":{"name":"Plastic and aesthetic nursing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142333974","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}

Early detection through visual screening can save lives, but the US Preventive Services Task Force cites insufficient evidence to recommend universal skin screening for all adults. For this reason, the risk for melanoma may be overlooked outside of dermatology settings, leading to delayed diagnoses and poor survival rates. Our project aimed to address this issue by increasing the identification of at-risk individuals visiting a medical aesthetic practice in the Midwest. The literature regarding melanoma risk stratification outside of dermatology settings is deficient. A search yielding 336 articles produced 8 articles for review. Five suggested melanoma risk screenings in general practice are feasible and/or can lead to early detection. Using the Plan-Do-Study-Act model, we executed our project from February through April 2023. Patients visiting the medical aesthetic practice completed a Self-Assessment Melanoma Risk Score questionnaire. We assessed the completed questionnaires and offered visual cancer screenings or dermatology referrals to patients identified as at-risk. A total of 211 patients participated, and 26% (n = 55) were identified as at-risk. This intervention improved the quality of care by identifying patients at risk for melanoma. Future steps include adapting the Self-Assessment of Melanoma Risk Score questionnaire to a new electronic medical record system, incorporating the questionnaire as part of the initial intake and annual patient documentation, and improving patient education and follow-up.</p>","PeriodicalId":74460,"journal":{"name":"Plastic and aesthetic nursing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141725213","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}
