Drug addiction of any kind is a serious threat to patients' dental health too. It has been found out that patients, who are drug addicted, have a significantly higher frequency and severity of oral diseases: increase in frequency of caries and its complications, inflammatory-and-dystrophic diseases of periodontitis, pathologies of mucous tunic of mouth. We examined 197 persons who had drug addiction. The conducted research revealed that all 100% examined patients needed dental care; preparation of drug-addicted patients for a dental treatment must be conducted under control of narcologist, anesthesiologist and dentist.

Introduction. Dental caries has been one of the oldest but still one of the most common oral diseases in humans. Even though it has been almost eradicated in developed countries due to increased fluoride use, adoption of proper oral hygiene habits and systematic implementation of preventive programs, caries remained one of leading oral diseases in developing countries. Epidemiological data about the prevalence of caries is very important for prediction of need for dental care, number of dental care providers as well as financial aspect. The aim of this study was to determine dental status and indicate dental treatment need in adults of the municipality of Foca, Republika Srpska (Bosnia and Herzegovina). Material and Methods. The study included 244 randomly selected residents (131 males and 113 females) from the municipality of Foca which were divided into three age groups: 20-29, 30-39 and 40-49 years. Dental status and need for dental treatment were determined in accordance to the criteria and methodology of the World Health Organization. Results. Mean value of DMFT index was 12.7 for the first age group, 16.4 for the second and 20.5 for the third age group of respondents. Dominant components in the first group were restored and carious teeth while in the third age group number of extracted teeth dominated. Also, in the third age group of respondents need for one and two or more surfaces fillings was significantly lower (p<0.01), but need for removable dentures was significantly higher (p<0.01) as compared to other two groups. Conclusion. These results indicated high value of DMFT index in adult population of the municipality of Foca.

Introduction. A playful competition was launched in a primary dental health care system to improve the recording of diagnoses into an electronic patient chart system and to study what diagnoses were used in primary dental care.Methods. This was a longitudinal follow-up study with public sector primary dental care practices in a Finnish city. A one-year-lasting playful competition between the dental care teams was launched and the monthly percentage of dentists’ visits with recorded diagnosis before, during, and after the intervention was recorded. The assessed diagnoses were recorded with the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10).Results. Before the competition, the level of diagnosis recordings was practically zero. At the end of this intervention, about 25% of the visits had a recorded diagnosis. Two years after the competition, this percentage was 35% without any additional measures. The most frequent diagnoses were dental caries (K02, 38.6%), other diseases of hard tissues of teeth (K03, 14.8%), and diseases of pulp and periapical tissues (K04, 11.4%).Conclusions. Commitment to the idea that recording of diagnoses was beneficial improved the recording of dental diagnoses. However, the diagnoses obtained did not accurately reflect the reputed prevalence of oral diseases in the Finnish population.

The advancement of medicine has reduced the rate of mortality and older adult population is increasing. Among the 7,700,000,000 world population in 2019, 1 in 11 people were at the age of 65 or more. The population is expected to increase to 1 in 6 people by 2050. Older adults have degenerative changes that become more severe with age. This study used the World Health Organization’s websites and PubMed and Google Scholar databases to review current global oral and systemic health issues. Studies generally reported that many older adults have no regular dental checkup. Common oral diseases such as dental caries particularly root caries and periodontal disease are highly prevalent among them. These oral diseases are often interrelated with their systemic problems. A meta-analysis reported diabetes increases the incidence and progression of periodontitis by 86%. A decrease in salivary output is common among older adults having polypharmacy. A review reported the caries risk in older adults increases by 60% with low resting pH and low stimulated salivary flow rate. Many older adults suffer from dementia and depression which complicates the delivery of dental treatment. Proper oral hygiene practice and dental care at supine position are often difficult to be carried out if they have rheumatoid arthritis. With the increasing need of elderly dental care, dentists and other dental personnel should understand interlaced oral and general health in order to provide a successful dental care plan for older adults. The aim of this study is to give an overview of the common medical conditions and dental problems and their impacts on older adults.

Access To Medical Care

Dental problems continue to rank as the most common health problem of children today. Caries is remarkably prevalent and about half of school-aged children have some form of malocclusion or gingival disease. The situation is particularly pressing for the poor, among whom it is estimated that 97% of children require dental care. Not only is there a need for the treatment of caries but also for the institution of measures to prevent progressive periodontal disease in later life. Most oral diseases are preventable through adequate dental care and the establishment of preventive practices in the home. The pediatrician is in an excellent position to assist in the attainment of this goal by reinforcing these measures. Although the pediatrician can do little about increasing access to medical care, especially for the poor, he can play a more active role in the early identification of problems and facilitating appropriate referrals. The challenges and opportunities are great; with the enhanced knowledge of the nature of dental health problems provided here the pediatrician should be able to make a significant contribution to diminishing this large category of unmet health needs.

ABSTRACTThe shift in the philosophy of care for people with learning disabilities from institutional care to living in the community has placed greater demands on generic health services. Alack of training and appropriate skills have been identified as problem areas for health care providers who may be required to care for this group of people. The dental health of people with learning disabilities has shown no improvement over the last fifty years despite advances in dental treatment. Requests for dental care present practitioners with ethical and legal problems due to a reduced capacity to give informed consent. The provision of dental care for patients with learning disabilities in the day surgery unit of a local hospital is critically evaluated and recommendations are then made as to how current practice may be improved with reference to the findings of current literature.

Abstract. In modern conditions dental treatment is one of the most common types of medical care in Ukraine, only 7.00 % of the young population are dentally healthy. During 2015–2019 the general practice of using 3.91 % of the consolidated state budget for health care for dental care was determined, mainly such funds were used for the maintenance of dental health care establishments. Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine «Some issues of implementation of the program of state guarantees of medical care in 2020» from February 5, 2020 for № 65 provides the calculation of the tariff for dental services in the amount of UAH 9.19 per unit. Preliminary calculations indicate that comparing to 2019 during 2020 the state financial support of dental care will be reduced by 3444.20 million UAH (68.60 %). There are reasonable doubts about the rationality of the design of the Medical Guarantee Program in terms of treatment of dental diseases which carries the risk of further increase in dental morbidity and reduced availability of dental care for population. Key words: dentistry, treatment, financing, reform, accessibility, discussion.

Diseases of teeth and oral cavity have a high prevalence in pediatric population. In adolescents of 15-17 years, the incidence of caries in permanent teeth is higher than in children of 0-14 years. Epidemiological studies of dental health of children in various regions of the Russian Federation in 2010-2015 years showed no tendency to decrease the level of diseases of mouth and teeth. Prevalence and intensity of diseases remains at a high level. More than 80% of the surveyed children are in need of complex dental treatment. The current situation of pathology of teeth and mouth in children is due to several reasons such as low level of hygiene education, environmental degradation, poor nutrition, presence of chronic diseases, among older children, the presence of harmful habits, health-care organizations lack of effective preventive work. In turn, untreated inflammatory diseases of the oral cavity and teeth, being the source of the infection, may lead to somatic pathology of different organs and systems. The existing organization of children dental care is focused more on treatment than on prevention of diseases of teeth and oral cavity. As a rule, parents bring children to dental clinic for treatment of already developed disease. Referrals to the dentist for preventive measures are rare. In this regard, it is necessary to develop new organizational forms of dental care, from the point of view of the preventive orientation, close to children's educational organization.
