Access issues to dental services, including cost and availability of dental practitioners, can delay timely diagnosis and management of dry mouth. Thus, there is a need for innovative approaches to manage xerostomia, involving non-dental primary care health practitioners.Methods/designs: This proof-of-concept study assessed the feasibility of a co-designed oral health education resource to enable pharmacists to support their clients in managing xerostomia. The co-design process involved input from consumers with lived experience and an expert advisory group. Ten community pharmacists then participated in a pilot programme to deliver oral health advice on dry mouth to their clients. Pre- and post-intervention surveys assessed the pharmacists' confidence, recommendations and knowledge on dry mouth.Results: Through the co-design process, several resources were developed, including an information guide for pharmacists, a flyer and a sticker for clients. Participating pharmacists had an increase in confidence, knowledge and ability to provide dry mouth management advice when supported by appropriate resources.Conclusion: It is feasible for pharmacists to provide oral healthcare advice in a community pharmacy setting if they receive the right training, resources, and support.","PeriodicalId":8593,"journal":{"name":"Australian dental journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142863037","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}

To identify and prioritize urgent dental patients, teledentistry was implemented across NSW public dental services. This study aimed to establish the validity of teledentistry examinations to provide a clinical diagnosis compared to face-to-face, clinical examination.Methods: A retrospective review using convenience sampling was used to source clinical data from a public dental service for two periods in 2020 and 2021. Researchers compared the diagnoses identified from teledentistry consultations with follow-up face-to-face consultations, diagnoses were grouped into 14 sub-categories that broadly covered common oral health conditions and pathologies. Sensitivity, specificity, NPV and PPV were calculated.Results: The study included 1965 patients who underwent teledentistry followed by face-to-face consultations, with a mean age of 47.79 ± 21.92 years. Teledentistry showed high specificity ranging from 74.08% to 99.95% while the sensitivity ranged from 18.75% to 100%. The highest specificity (99.90%) was noted for diagnosing orthodontic concerns. The lowest specificity was observed for irreversible pulpal diseases at 74.08%.Conclusion: Teledentistry has a role in public dental services, diagnosing various dental conditions and identifying patient acuity. It can provide patients with oral health information/advice and ensures effective use of emergency appointments within public dental services.","PeriodicalId":8593,"journal":{"name":"Australian dental journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142827185","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}

Dental extraction is the most significant independent risk factor for MRONJ. This interim study aimed to evaluate the demographics, medical data and outcomes of patients at risk for MRONJ who underwent dental extractions in a dedicated MRONJ clinic following a risk reduction protocol at a large public dental clinic in New South Wales Health.Methods: A retrospective study analysed demographic and clinical data of patients at risk for MRONJ who underwent dental extractions between March 2020 and April 2024.Results: Data from 329 at-risk patients who underwent 836 dental extractions were included. Most patients were women (75.1%) with a median age of 74 years (IQR 67-80). The primary indication for medications was osteoporosis (85.4%), with Denosumab being the most frequently prescribed (66.9%). Eighteen patients (5.5%) developed MRONJ at 8 weeks of follow-up. Patients categorized as high-risk had a higher incidence of MRONJ (72.2%) compared to the low-risk group (22.2%).Conclusion: This study is the first retrospective audit carried out after implementing preventive protocols in this dedicated MRONJ clinic. The higher incidence of MRONJ in patients classified as 'high risk' underscores the importance of considering individual risk factors in their treatment.","PeriodicalId":8593,"journal":{"name":"Australian dental journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142816871","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}

Alumina-350 exhibited higher von Mises stress (25.77 MPa) than the control group (22.83 MPa), whereas Alumina-500 had the lowest stress (22.65 MPa). Zirconia models showed a slight increase in von Mises strain, while alumina models showed a decrease compared to the control.Conclusion: Our study found that 3D-printed zirconia displayed higher flexural strength when compared to milled zirconia and alumina.

Barriers to perform vital pulp therapy (VPT) included presuming it an inappropriate long-term treatment (29.7%), lack of knowledge, insufficient access to materials, inadequate training and lack of confidence.

Clinical examinations for TDIs were performed according to the classification proposed by Andreasen.
