Background: Dental and oral health problems among elementary students can be resolved through an oral health programme in schools. The main factor that inhibited this scheme was that the recording and reporting still employed a manual system, making it less effective and efficient. The electronic application of this programme can help managers to complete both of these tasks. Purpose: This study’s aim is to assess the effectiveness of the electronic application that is utilised in the oral health school programme to increase the quality of the information relating to the recording of dental health data in schools. Methods: This study used a pre-test and post-test one-group design, and the sample consisted of 37 oral health programme managers in schools who were chosen via simple random sampling. The data in this study was analysed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Results: The results showed that the use of the electronic application as part of the oral health scheme influenced the quality of the information when details were recorded and reported. This can be seen in the rise in the standard of the information that was noted and disclosed when comparing data before and after using the electronic application; the average value of 1.54 (standard deviation=1.45) increased to an average value of 3.58 (standard deviation=2.84) with a significance level of 0.000 (p<0.05). Conclusion: The electronic application used in conjunction with the oral health programme was effective in raising the quality of dental health records in schools.

Background: Although medical emergencies among dental patients are not frequent, several factors may provoke sudden cardiac arrests. Early initiation of high-quality chest compressions (CC) is of crucial importance for the safety and effectiveness of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Aims: We aimed to evaluate the quality of chest compressions performed on a dental chair for the proposed procedure in case of cardiac arrest in a dental office. Methods: We designed a prospective, randomized, crossover simulation study. Sixty paramedic students were randomly assigned to the control group, in which resuscitation was performed on the floor (n = 30) or to the experimental group, in which compressions were performed on a dental unit (n = 30). We used a simulator that recorded number of compressions, rate, depth of compressions and chest recoil. Results: There were no significant differences in numbers, rate, depth of chest compressions or in chest recoil between groups. Conclusions: We proved that performing chest compressions on a dental chair might be as effective as on the floor. On this basis, we propose a procedure for safe and efficient performance of CPR in a dental office.

The coronavirus outbreak is a global public health emergency with high transmission among the population. Over 18 million people were affected globally (06th August 2020). In most of the cases, patients present flu-like symptoms, such as fever, cough, headaches and myalgias are commonly reported. Lockdown measures have been implemented to control the spread of the virus. In contrast, these measures have been reported to increase the probability of psychological and physical disorders. As the pandemic intensifies, the number of patients seeking dental emergency services due to acute symptoms (i.e. pulpitis, acute apical abscesses) has increased. There is an increasing need to investigate the association between psychological disorders and dental emergencies. There is critical need for the development of public policies for mental and dental health worldwide, leading to the improvement in the quality of life of the population.

General anaesthesia and sedation are known to be useful adjuncts in the care of paediatric dental patients. There are several challenges that prevent patients from receiving care. Aim: To assess the treatment outcomes of paediatric dental patients seen at an emergency facility who were referred for treatment under sedation or general anaesthesia at a regional hospital in Trinidad. Methods: Records of patients seen at the Child Dental Health Unit Emergency clinic at the University of The West Indies Dental School from 2012 to 2017 were assessed. The parents of children referred for general anaesthesia or sedation at the regional hospital were then interviewed via telephone. Results: Most children (53.4%) were younger than 6 years old and the most common reasons for referral were the treatment of multiple carious teeth and behaviour management. Furthermore, 66.1% of cases did not receive treatment and had a mean waiting time of 4.7 years, and 61.7% of referred cases needed emergency care while awaiting general anaesthesia or sedation. Limited access to these services and the high cost of treatment were the main reasons for non-treatment. Conclusion: There is significant need for the timely treatment of paediatric dental patients referred for general anaesthesia or sedation. Improved availability and accessibility of these services could improve patients’ quality of life.

Особое место в структуре стоматологической заболеваемости занимает патология пародонтального комплекса, в частности - хронический генерализованный пародонтит, который по данным ВОЗ находится на втором месте по частоте распространения среди всех стоматологических заболеваний, уступая лишь кариесу. Первые признаки воспаления пародонта начинают проявляться уже в молодые годы, а к пожилому периоду - распространенность заболеваний пародонта достигает значений, стремящихся к 100%. Решение проблемы своевременной диагностики, профилактики и лечения патологии пародонта по-прежнему является актуальнейшей задачей современной стоматологии. Генерализованный пародонтит - это не только очаг хронической инфекции и источник сенсибилизации организма, но также ведущая причина потери зубов (особенно в старших возрастных группах), приводящая к серьезным деструктивным последствиям, дезорганизующим зубочелюстной аппарат. Данный факт способен серьезным образом повлиять на качество жизни человека, делая пародонтологическую проблему не только медицинской, но и социальной. Несмотря на очевидную актуальность данного вопроса, а также большой интерес к научным исследованиям в области пародонтологии, стоит признать, что уровень стоматологического здоровья, а также оказания пародонтологической помощи, в том числе пожилому населению - далеки от идеала. Во многом это объясняется сложностью этиологии и патогенеза заболеваний пародонта, а также, нередко, отсутствием комплексного понимания данной патологии при ее терапии A special place in the structure of dental morbidity is occupied by the pathology of the periodontal complex, in particular, chronic generalized periodontitis, which, according to the WHO, is in second place in terms of prevalence among all dental diseases, second only to caries. The first signs of periodontal inflammation begin to appear already in the young years, and by the old age the prevalence of periodontal diseases reaches values tending to 100%. Solving the problem of timely diagnosis, prevention and treatment of periodontal pathology is still the most urgent task of modern dentistry. Generalized periodontitis is not only a source of chronic infection and a source of sensitization of the body, but also a leading cause of tooth loss (especially in older age groups), leading to serious destructive consequences that disorganize the dental apparatus. This fact can seriously affect the quality of life, making periodontal problems not only medical, but also social. Despite the obvious relevance of this issue, as well as the great interest in scientific research in the field of periodontology, it is worth recognizing that the level of dental health, as well as the provision of periodontal care, including the elderly population, is far from ideal. This is largely due to the complexity of the etiology and pathogenesis of periodontal diseases, as well as, often, the lack of a comprehensive understanding of this pathology during its therapy

Lesions of the dento-alvelolar system, which develop in cases of traffic accidents, domestic, industrial or other traumatic injuries, leads to a sharp decrease in dental health, and consequently to the decrease in quality of life associated with post-traumatic changes in dental status. Purpose of work – to analyze the indicators of the integrated quality of life criterion associated with the state of dental health among dental prosthetically-rehabilitated patients with a history of maxillofacial (MF) traumatic injuries. The study sample was formed on the basis of the University Dental Clinic from a cohort of patients who sought dental care with the need for comprehensive prosthetic rehabilitation. According to the analysis of medical records of dental patients, 66 persons with a history of maxillofacial traumatic injuries were selected. In order to assess the integrated criterion of quality of life associated with dental health, among dental patients with a history of maxillofacial traumatic injuries, who received appropriate prosthetic treatment, surveys were conducted taking into account all domains of OHIP-14 (abbreviated to 14 questions version of the Oral Health Impact Profile questionnaire). Mandibular fractures and traumatic injuries of individual teeth (dislocations, fractures) were the most prevalent among study sample and corresponded to 31.8 % and 27.3 %, respectively. The main causes of maxillofacial traumatic injuries were domestic injuries (43.9 %), road traffic accidents (RTA) (37.9 %), criminal injuries (10.6 %), industrial-associated (4.5 %) and sports-associated injuries (3.0 %). Prosthetic rehabilitation of the vast majority of patients, which correspond to 56 persons (84.8 %), was performed using different types of fixed prosthetic constructions, such as crowns, bridges supported by natural teeth, or installed dental implants. Majority of patients 84.9-95.5 % demonstrated high indicators of the integrated criterion of quality of life associated with changes in dental health, despite the fact of previous surgical treatment of maxillofacial traumatic lesions. Thus, in the absence of secondary deformities after surgical treatment of maxillofacial traumatic lesions, prosthetic rehabilitation of patients with the use of fixed types of prosthetic constructions supported by natural teeth or installed dental implants helps to achieve high quality of life associated with changes in dental health. The use of complete or partial removable dentures for a similar purpose provokes a relative decrease within the integral criterion of quality of life in the structure of such domains, as physical pain, psychological discomfort and social incapacity, which is due to the peculiarities of removable prosthetic construction exploitation, retention and functioning.
