Purpose:The Pediatric Out-patient-department (POPD) of a dental hospital deals with children with different tooth related complaints. Dental treatment of a child patient requires three way interactions between the child, the parent and the dental surgeon. Though health of the patient remains the top priority for caregivers, satisfaction with the delivery system is vital for long lasting doctor-patient relationship. Thepurpose of the study was to evaluate the performance of Pediatric OPD by the accompanying parents of children receiving treatment at the OPD of a private dental college hospital.Methods: A cross sectional study was carried out at the POPD of Sapporo Dental College Hospital, Uttara Model Town of Dhaka city during May-July 2017. Sampling was done by simple random sam- pling method .Data were collected from the parents of 122 children aged between 1-12 years by using a self-administrated questionnaire.Results: Majority of the participating parents were residents of Uttara Model Town or areas in the vicinity and were employed, educated and are middle are middle socioeconomic class. More than sixty percent (62.3 %) of the respondents were parents of children between 4-7 years of age. More than 90% of the patients had waiting time at the department between 0-30 minutes. Treatment cost was described as ‘low or ‘reasonable’ by 87% of the parents. Only 8.2% mentioned ‘unsatisfactory’ regarding the cleanliness of Pediatric OPD. More than 95% of the respond- ents expressed ‘Satisfactory’ and ‘good’ level of satisfaction with general performance of OPD and the treatment provided by the dental team.Conclusion: Parents expressed general satisfaction with the performance of Pediatric Department of Sapporo Dental College Hospital.Update Dent.

ABSTRACT Introduction Dental problems are commonly encountered in our lives. Some of the common problems are toothache, bleeding gums and halitosis. Objectives How the dental problems were handled, and reasons of not seeking dental treatment by the patients. Materials and methods This was an observational analytical cross-sectional study on adult's age above 14 years from Madinah. Results A total of 400 adults were included; 208 (52%) were males and 192 (48%) were females. Resident encountered toothache surprisingly only 49% sought dental treatment, while (41%) settled for taking medications. Among bleeding gum patients most of them (45%) went to the dentist, while (41%) settled for using the home care. And dealing with halitosis only (17%) went to the dentist. The most common reasons for not seeking dental treatment were fear and long appointments. And mostly they had fear because of dental drill and dental needle. Conclusion The most common problems for seeking treatment were toothache followed by bleeding gums and the least was halitosis. Number of people who sought treatment was still a low number. The most common reason that stopped patients from going to the dentist was fear and long appointments. There should be increase of dental clinics and patients should be given dental education.

Abstract Objectives Behaviour management strategies involving pharmacological or non-pharmacological interventions during dental procedures should be considered to attain safe and successful treatment outcomes. This study compared the frequencies of use and the completeness of treatment with these interventions. Methods A total of 1725 dental records of patients up to 18 years old, who were treated in the King Abdulaziz Medical City in Jeddah City from October 2018 to June 2019, were used in this retrospective, cross-sectional study. Inferential analysis, Chi-square test, Kruskal–Wallis test, and regression model were used in the data analysis. Results About two-thirds of the patients were treated with attendant non-pharmacological interventions, while one-third, with pharmacological interventions. The application of General Anesthesia (GA) was the most frequently used intervention. Restorative procedures and extractions were done in higher frequencies with pharmacological interventions. Treatments with space maintainers and orthodontic appliances were carried out in higher frequencies with non-pharmacological strategies. The choice of intervention was significantly influenced by the systemic conditions of the patients. Patients treated with non-pharmacological intervention comprised the dominant type of patients, because they required treatments with less pain. Those treated with GA needed restorative treatments and extractions, or treatments that involve pain, but these treatments had higher frequencies of being completed. Conclusions The treatments with pharmacological intervention through GA have higher frequencies of being completed, compared to those with non-pharmacological interventions. Factors, such as age, potential to complete the treatment, and the type of dental treatment applied, influence the choice of treatment intervention.

ABSTRACT In order to assess coverage and quality of elderly care, a cross-sectional study of 204 interventions of Family Health Specialization students of UFPel was conducted, both connected and not connected to the More Doctors Program (PMM). The coverage difference between the third and first months of intervention and the percentage at the end of the third month were calculated in order to obtain quality indicators. An average increase in coverage of 35.7 percentage points (pp) (32.9, 38.6) was found: 42.1 pp (38.6, 45.7) and 26.1 pp (22.3, 30) were, respectively, related and not related to PMM. Brief Multidimensional Assessment (AMR), up-to-date clinical examination and assessment of the need for dental treatment showed better results in interventions conducted by PMM professionals. The interventions were effective regardless of supply and nationality, obtaining significantly better results those conducted by PMM professionals, especially Cubans.
