Oral health care in nursing and old people's homes and institutions for the mentally handicapped

Staff members and residents of nursing homes and old people's homes were interviewed about the facilities and provision of oral health care. Clinical examinations were performed to obtain data about the oral health status of the institutionalised elderly. Results show that in most cases the oral health care facilities were insufficient to give care to persons with natural teeth. Of the edentulous elderly 43% reported that the retention of the lower denture was insufficient.     

Clinical factors and self‐perceived oral health

Self‐perceived oral health is affected not only by awareness of the clinical status but also by comparisons with people of a similar age. This study explored the relative contributions of clinical variables assessing caries, periodontal status, and prosthetic status to self‐perceived oral health within two age groups. Data of 891 adults (35–44 yr of age) and 760 older people (65–74 yr of age) from the Fourth German Oral Health Study (DMS IV, 2005) were evaluated. Self‐perceived oral health was obtained from questionnaires. Numbers of decayed, filled, and unreplaced teeth, mean attachment loss, bleeding on probing (BOP), the presence of a fixed denture, and the presence of a removable denture were assessed. Multinomial logistic regression models were developed for both age groups, separately, using stepwise methods. For adults, unreplaced teeth, filled teeth, decayed teeth, the presence of a removable denture, and mean attachment loss were added to the final model. For older people, the presence of a removable denture, unreplaced teeth, decayed teeth, mean attachment loss, filled teeth, and BOP were included in the final model. Awareness of the relative contributions of clinical variables to self‐perceived oral health is important for obtaining a clearer understanding of patients' subjective and objective self‐perceptions of oral health.     

Determinants of oral hygiene behavior in the Dominican Republic

Objectives: The aim of this study was to identify predictors of oral hygiene behavior based on the theory of planned behavior among dental care seekers in the Dominican Republic. In addition, measures of oral health knowledge and the expected social outcomes of having healthy teeth were examined. Methods: In this cross‐sectional study, 92 participants, who were visited by Dutch dental professionals from the Foundation Bocas Sanas Holanda‐Maimón, completed voluntarily a culturally adapted questionnaire. The individuals’ clinical oral health status was also assessed. Results: A regression analysis was used to model the prediction, and it accounted for 32.4% of the variance. Only attitude, social norms and perceived behavioral control emerged as significant predictors of the intention to perform adequate oral hygiene behavior. In these multivariate analyses, oral health knowledge and expected social outcomes of having healthy teeth were not related significantly to intention. Conclusions: This study illustrates how the theory of planned behavior may be used as a basis to design adequate interventions for people in developing and underdeveloped countries. Moreover, it also suggests that oral hygiene‐related interventions aimed at improving oral hygiene behavior need to be specifically adjusted to or designed for the target population.     

遵义市小学教师口腔健康知识和对口腔健康教育态度的调查

目的 了解遵义市小学教师的口腔健康知识和对口腔健康教育的态度。方法 采用分层随机抽样的方法，抽取遵义市10所小学636名小学教师作为研究对象，自行设计调查问卷，收集教师的基本信息、口腔保健习惯、口腔保健知识知晓率、对口腔健康和口腔健康教育的态度等信息，所得数据采用SPSS 21.0软件进行统计。结果 本调查回收有效问卷614份，在口腔保健习惯方面，小学教师刷牙时长在3 min及以上仅占8.8%,23.8%有横刷牙习惯，64.7%没有洁牙习惯，78.2%未使用过牙线。口腔保健知晓率方面，教师对六龄齿是不会换的、窝沟封闭可以预防龋齿、使用牙线可以去除牙菌斑等方面的认识薄弱，但是，总体对口腔健康和口腔健康教育的态度较好。结论 可通过组织培训等多途径提高遵义市小学教师的口腔健康知识，发挥教师在引领和培养学龄儿童建立良好的口腔习惯中的积极作用。     

广西5岁儿童乳牙龋病相关因素分析

目的:调查广西5岁儿童乳牙患龋情况及相关影响因素,为儿童龋病预防提供资料。方法:采用多阶段、分层、等容量、随机抽样的方法抽取广西420名5岁儿童进行乳牙龋病检查,同时对其家长进行现场问卷调查。对调查结果采用卡方检验分析和多因素非条件Logistic回归分析。结果:乳牙患龋率和龋均分别为80.7%、6.06,男女间差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。单因素分析表明城乡差别、是否壮族、家长职业、学历、父母有无获得口腔健康知识途径、对含氟牙膏知晓率、是否检查孩子刷牙效果、儿童开始刷牙年龄、儿童喝奶习惯等相关因素都对乳牙患龋有明显影响。多因素Logistic回归分析表明壮族儿童、家长没有听说过含氟牙膏、家长不检查孩子刷牙效果是儿童乳牙患龋的危险因素。结论:广西儿童口腔健康工作的重点对象是农村、壮族儿童,通过提高儿童家长应对口腔健康知识的知晓率,主动采取利于口腔健康的行为,以帮助儿童建立健康的口腔行为。     

Oral health: perceptions of need in a rural Iowa county

Several studies have shown that oral health problems impact the quality of life of older adults. However, few data are available to describe the oral health status, barriers to care, and patterns of care for adults and older populations living in rural areas. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the perceived need for treatment of oral health problems by adult residents in a rural county in Iowa.
The oral health component was part of a larger longitudinal health study of the residents. The sample was stratified into three groups by residence, that is, farm households, rural non-farm households and town households. The sample was subsequently post-stratified by gender and age group into young elderly, 65–74 years old, and old elderly, 75 years and older.
Dentition status varied according to age and was related to the perception of treatment needs. Edentulous persons had fewer perceived treatment needs and utilized a dentist less frequently. Place of residence, education, and marital status were not associated with the subjects' perceived problems with eating and chewing. However, persons with difficulty chewing were more likely to have some missing upper teeth, have a perceived need to have denture work, and have smoked for a number of years. The results suggest that this rural population is retaining more teeth and consequently may need and may seek dental services more often than previous more edentulous cohorts.     

Oral health care education and its effect on caregivers' knowledge and attitudes: a randomised controlled trial

OBJECTIVES: The effect of an oral health care education programme (OHCE) upon nursing home caregivers was assessed in a randomised controlled trial. METHODS: A self-administered questionnaire assessed oral health care knowledge and attitudes at baseline among 369 caregivers working in 22 nursing homes. Homes were randomly allocated to two groups. The intervention was a workplace OHCE. Caregivers assessed the value of the presentations. Questionnaires were re-administered 1 month (time 2) and 6 months (time 3) after the OHCE was delivered. The knowledge and attitude score means of the groups were compared. Open-ended questions solicited qualitative data. RESULTS: Questionnaire response rates at the three time points ranged from 76.3% to 85.4%. Two-thirds of caregivers employed at the time of the intervention attended the presentations. The OHCE was favourably assessed in 79% of responses. The intervention group significantly improved their scores over the control group at times 2 and 3 for knowledge (P<0.003) and attitude (P<0.001). Analysed across both arms at baseline, the main predictors for knowledge and attitude scores were age and dental attendance pattern. Qualitative responses showed an acceptance of caregivers' roles in oral health care and criticism of existing provision within homes. CONCLUSIONS: The OHCE was well received and resulted in improved oral health care knowledge and attitudes. When viewed with separately reported trial results of clients' oral health status, knowledge and attitude score improvements coincided with improved delivery of oral health care.     

Receipt of dental care, dental status and workforce in U.S. nursing homes: 1997 National Nursing Home Survey

The goal of this paper was to report the prevalence of dental care — a Healthy People 2010 objective — for nursing home residents 65 years and older, and to assess the association between receipt of dental care with other oral status and workforce measures. Data from 7,363 residents aged 65 years and older with information in the 1997 National Nursing Home Survey (NNHS) were used.
Overall, 18.2% of elderly nursing home residents had received dental care in the last month. Multivariable modeling found residents were more likely to receive dental care in the past month if they lived in the Northeast (OR=3.32, 95% CI 2.51-4.39); were dentate (OR=1.46, 95% CI 1.26-1.69); had a length of stay 12 months or longer (OR=1.37, 95% CI 1.17-1.62); or resided in facilities with dental professional services (OR=2.05, 95% CI 1.60-2.62).
The results showed that disparities in receipt of dental care existed by region, length of stay, dentate status, and availability of dental services in nursing homes. Additionally, current oral health surveillance measures for nursing homes may have been inadequate.
