This study examined the professional quality of life in Norwegian oral health professionals (n = 984). Methods An electronic survey was distributed via email to oral health professionals in public and private dental services. Self-report measures assessing secondary traumatic stress, burnout, compassion satisfaction, and psychosocial factors in the workplace, along with demographic characteristics, were collected. Results More than half of the participants reported working with vulnerable patients, indicating that such encounters are a routine aspect of clinical care. Most respondents reported moderate levels of burnout and compassion satisfaction and low levels of secondary traumatic stress. Conclusions Psychosocial work factors, such as work-life balance and social support, contribute more to occupational strain than the challenges of working with vulnerable or traumatised patients. This highlights the importance of strengthening workplace conditions and support to reduce strain and promote sustainable practice.","PeriodicalId":9229,"journal":{"name":"British Dental Journal","volume":"241 8","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2026-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.comhttps://www.nature.com/articles/s41415-026-0039-3.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149223344","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Oral healthcare professionals may support early identification of undiagnosed disease, particularly in patients with periodontitis. This study estimated the prevalence of undiagnosed NDH/T2D in NHS dental settings and evaluated the performance of two validated diabetes risk-prediction tools in primary dental care. Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted in 13 NHS dental practices. Adults aged ≥40 years without a prior diagnosis of NDH/T2D were recruited. Participants (n = 803) completed two validated risk questionnaires and underwent point-of-care HbA1c testing irrespective of risk score. Individuals with HbA1c ≥42 mmol/mol (6.0%) received preventive advice and were advised to consult their general practitioner. Results Sixty one percent of participants self-identified as women, 85% as white British; and mean body mass index was 27.4 kg/m². NDH prevalence (HbA1c 42–47 mmol/mol) was 10.0%, and previously undiagnosed T2D (≥48 mmol/mol) was 3.0%. Using UK/ADA diagnostic thresholds as the reference standard, both risk tools showed good sensitivity (>80%) but low specificity (<55%). Conclusions This large UK primary care dental study demonstrates that NDH and undiagnosed T2D are common in dental attendees. Both questionnaires showed acceptable sensitivity, while point-of-care HbA1c testing improved specificity within a two-step dental risk-assessment pathway.","PeriodicalId":9229,"journal":{"name":"British Dental Journal","volume":"241 8","pages":"1-7"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2026-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.comhttps://www.nature.com/articles/s41415-026-0041-9.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149223367","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted on patients aged ≥40 years between 2014–2023 with dental records linked to electronic health records (EHR). Systemic diseases were identified through International Classifications of Disease – 10th edition codes in secondary care EHR and self-reported comorbidities captured in dental EHR. The prevalence ratio of systemic disease was modelled using Poisson regression, adjusting for age, sex, index of deprivation, and medical history. Multiple long-term conditions (MLTC) were defined by counts of concommitant conditions with ≥2 systemic diseases. Results In total, 32,675 patients (55% women) were included with ≥1/3 from the most deprived areas (n = 12,141, 37.2%). One-fifth of Leeds dental hospital patients had at least one systemic disease (n = 6,437, 19.7%), and the highest prevalences were in periodontal/restorative (n = 3,179, 50.9%) and acute dental care clinics (n = 1,423, 36.4%). Patients in periodontal/restorative clinics were over three times more likely to have systemic disease than those in maxillofacial surgery clinics. One-quarter of patients with MLTC involving cardiovascular or musculoskeletal conditions had three or more other systemic diagnoses (n = 787, 25.1%; n = 750, 24.2%). Conclusions The systemic disease burden among patients attending Leeds dental hospital was substantial and varied by clinics. These findings underline the need for integrated information systems and care planning for medically complex dental patients.","PeriodicalId":9229,"journal":{"name":"British Dental Journal","volume":"241 8","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2026-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.comhttps://www.nature.com/articles/s41415-026-0007-y.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149223355","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods Study sample included postmenopausal women enrolled in the OsteoPerio study. Dietary patterns, including the Healthy Eating Index (HEI)-2020, Alternative HEI (AHEI)-2010, dietary approaches to stop hypertension, and alternate Mediterranean Diet (aMed), were scored based on two food frequency questionnaires administered across three years preceding baseline (1997–2001). Dental examinations at baseline and year five assessed 28 teeth (excluding third molars). Numbers of DMFT were aggregated according to the World Health Organization's definition. Cross-sectional associations of dietary pattern scores with decayed teeth, missing teeth, and filled teeth, and DMFT at baseline (n = 1,214) and prospective associations with changes in MT and DMFT (n = 934) were examined. Results Cross-sectionally, higher HEI, AHEI, and aMed scores were associated with less MT (rate ratios: 0.93, 0.91, and 0.96, respectively) and less DMFT (ß: -0.32, -0.50, and -0.23, respectively). No significant prospective associations were observed. Conclusions In this group of postmenopausal women, better adherence to healthy dietary patterns was associated with fewer prevalent dental caries but not with the progression in five years.","PeriodicalId":9229,"journal":{"name":"British Dental Journal","volume":"241 8","pages":"1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2026-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.comhttps://www.nature.com/articles/s41415-026-0002-3.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149223399","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In dentistry, a comprehensive understanding of culture, including social determinants, protected characteristics, and lived experience, is essential to avoid stereotyping and promote equitable care. The General Dental Council's Safe practitioner framework (SPF) integrates cultural competence across multiple domains of dental education. Aim To explore how cultural competence (or humility) can be embedded into the UK dental curriculum in alignment with the SPF, and to offer practical examples to support educators. Methods This narrative article utilises educational frameworks, current literature, and case examples from UK dental schools to illustrate methods for integrating cultural humility into teaching and learning. Results Cultural humility can be embedded across domains, including clinical knowledge, clinical/technical skills, interpersonal skills, and professionalism. Educational strategies include case-based learning, reflective practice, community engagement, and the use of lived-experience resources. These approaches help students recognise how culture and social context influence disease presentation, communication, clinical decision-making, and patient engagement. Conclusion Embedding cultural humility within dental education fosters the development of reflective, adaptable practitioners capable of delivering inclusive, patient-centred care. Alignment with the SPF provides an opportunity to enhance equity and responsiveness within the future dental workforce.","PeriodicalId":9229,"journal":{"name":"British Dental Journal","volume":"241 7","pages":"488-492"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2026-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.comhttps://www.nature.com/articles/s41415-026-0133-6.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149125960","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
