DESIGN: Descriptive cross-sectional study with multistage cluster sampling. SETTING: Registered preschools in Gampaha District. PARTICIPANTS: A total of 1038 three to four-year-olds and their mothers...

OBJECTIVE: Prognostic risk prediction models estimate the probability of developing head and neck cancer (HNC), providing valuable information for managing the disease. While different prognostic HNC risk prediction models have been developed worldwide, a comprehensive evaluation of their methods is lacking. We conducted a scoping review with a critical assessment aiming to identify the methodological strengths and limitations of HNC risk prediction models. METHOD: We searched Medline, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, and CAB Abstracts databases and included full-text-available peer-reviewed published papers on developing or validating a prognostic HNC risk prediction model...

INTRODUCTION: Looked-After-Children (LAC) frequently are more likely to have untreated dental caries, periodontal diseases or dental trauma (McMahon et al., 2018). The COVID-19 pandemic reduced the availability of dental appointments, including for LAC. This initiative piloted the inclusion of a dental pathway into the existing LAC care pathway in Buckinghamshire. The key principle was providing oral health messaging around maintaining good oral health and preventing disease in these children by training those involved with their care...

AIM: The life grid is a retrospective interview-based tool used to enhance recall of past events. This scoping review examines the use of the life grid in oral health research and its applications. METHODS: Using the Joanna Briggs Institute framework, Medline (Ovid), CINAHL, PsycInfo, ERIC, MedEdPortal, Web of Science Core Collection, ProQuest, and Google Scholar were searched with "life grid" and "oral" as initial keywords. Then, two reviewers screened the records independently...

The central premise of Dental Public Health (DPH) is striving to change the oral health of the nation for the better and as Leo Buscaglia, the 19th century historian, elegantly stated; 'Change is the end result of all true learning'. The two primary goals of DPH; promoting oral health and preventing oral disease, have at their very heart the education of the general public and patients. Similarly, in seeking to recruit, train and retain an effective dental workforce, with a focus on oral health-related quality of life improvements, close attention to the education of those practitioners is imperative...

What are mini-publics and under what circumstances could they be applied to public health dentistry? This question is explored with reference to water fluoridation in England, a policy intervention characterised by a visceral politics that has embedded a systemic preference for non-decision-making. Mini-publics can nevertheless inform decision-making by inviting a representative sample of the affected citizenry to consider the available evidence and come to a set of conclusions and/or recommendations that if all parties cannot agree, none can reasonably object...

OBJECTIVE: To compare the effect of three caries preventive interventions provided by Thailand's Ministry of Public Health (MOPH): supervised toothbrushing (STB), fluoride varnish (FV), and combined STB+FV from 0 to 5 years old to the base case using the System Dynamics Model (SDM). METHODS: The SDM was developed to compare the intervention scenarios: STB, FV, and combined STB+FV with the base case scenario. Meta-analyses determined the effective rates of the interventions included in the model...

INTRODUCTION: The COVID-19 pandemic forced NHS Dental Services to adapt quickly and implement measures which would safeguard essential care provision, whilst mitigating COVID-19 transmission risks. However, these changes impacted on both dental access, and onward referrals for specialist care. BASIC RESEARCH DESIGN: A longitudinal study design is used to offer descriptive analysis of referrals sent across three referral groups (orthodontics, paediatric dentistry, suspected cancers) across three time-matched periods (1st July to 31st December in 2019, 2020 and 2021)...

Oral health is finally on the global agenda. The World Health Organisation Global Oral Health Action Plan (OHAP) 2023-2030 (WHO, 2022a) has been completed following a public consultation which took place during August and September 2022. As oral diseases are the most prevalent non-communicable diseases; it is good to see that the OHAP will co-exist alongside the Global Action Plan for the Prevention and Control of Non-communicable Diseases 2013-2030. This editorial summarises the OHAP and highlights the opportunities and challenges discussed during the September 2022 EADPH congress, held co-jointly with the Council of the European Chief Dental Officers (CECDO)...

BACKGROUND: There has been a 37% increase in the number of Looked After Children (LAC) in England over the past decade. Although LAC have more health and social problems than their peers, little is known about their dental needs, barriers to dental care, and pathways used to access it. OBJECTIVES: This scoping review assessed the evidence on the dental health needs of LAC in the UK and their different dental care pathways. METHODS: Embase, MedLine(R), Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed and CINAHL, grey literature databases and third-sector organisation websites were searched up to February 2022...

OBJECTIVES: To profile the oral health of Australian children from different immigrant backgrounds. METHOD: Cross-sectional data for Australian children were obtained from the 2012-14 National Child Oral Health Study (NCOHS). Three categories of immigrant status were created based on parents' country of birth and language (non-immigrant, non-visible immigrant, and visible immigrant). Descriptive analyses reported weighted estimates for experience of dental caries, self-rated oral health, and dental services utilisation separately for children aged 5-9 years and 10-14 years...
