This document discusses a panel convened by the Macy Foundation to examine issues related to the dental curriculum, specifically regarding diagnosis and primary health care. The panel consisted of 10 experts in dental education. They discussed how changes to the dental curriculum could expand the scope of dental practice to include more precise evaluation of oral diseases, diagnosis of systemic diseases, and primary health care screening in the dental office. This would help train dental practitioners to better promote oral and systemic health as part of an evolving healthcare system.
This study evaluated the socio-demographic determinants of dental service utilization among 741 secondary school students in Nigeria. The results showed that only 27.9% of students had visited a dentist before, mainly when experiencing pain. There was a statistically significant association between student type (boarding vs day) and class (junior vs senior secondary) with utilization. However, logistic regression found no socio-demographic factors predictive of utilization. In conclusion, while knowledge of dentists was high, actual utilization of dental services remained poor with no socio-demographic predictors of that utilization.

Perception of Dental Visits among Jazan University Students, Saudi Arabiainventionjournals
Background:regular dental check-ups is fundamental in preventing and detecting dental diseases.Majority of Saudi patients do not have the trend to visit dentist frequently and they go only for emergency treatment and mostly pain is the driving factor. Aim: to evaluate the knowledge, beliefs and attitude of Jazan university students towards dental visits. Materials and Methodology:This descriptive cross-sectional; questionnaire based survey was carried out to evaluate the perception of Jazan university Saudi students towards dental visits. 352 students participated, age range of 20-24 years old. Results: The study revealed pain is the driving factor for most of the dental visits. 47.9%, their 1 stvisits complain was pain, 58% the driving factor for last visit is also pain. Although 29.1% occasionally visit dentist; 43% of them their last visit to dentist was 6 month ago. 47.6% were irregular visitors to dentist because they are afraid from dental needle and pain. 75% of the participants described their feeling at1st visit to dentist to be anxious and afraid. Although 88% of the participants knew that regular dental check-ups is important but this knowledge was not practiced.Only4.3% of the participants are driven to dental visit by dentist advice. Conclusion: there are lack of knowledge, wrong beliefs and negligence of dental visits in our study participants. Dental professional and mass media are not playing their role to change the knowledge and beliefs of the population.Recommendation: dental professionals’ media should be utilized spread knowledge of proper dental care.

This document summarizes a session at the 2015 CADTH conference on engaging patients in defining value and drug development. It provides an overview of the session which included panels discussing defining value from the patient perspective and models of patient engagement. It also summarizes some of the key points discussed, such as the need to include patient perspectives throughout the drug development process to better measure what is meaningful to patients and alternative approaches to patient engagement like patient and community engagement researchers. The document advocates that embedding meaningful patient measures can help weight evidence from the patient perspective.
The document discusses strategies to increase patient engagement in their own healthcare. It outlines three key areas: improving health literacy, promoting shared decision-making, and supporting self-management of chronic conditions. Effective interventions include providing tailored written and online health information, training healthcare professionals in communication skills, using decision aids and question prompts, and delivering self-management education programs. Governments need a coherent strategy targeting multiple levels to inform and empower patients in their care.
This document discusses epidemiology, which is defined as the study of distribution and causation of diseases in populations. It notes that epidemiology involves descriptive studies to describe disease occurrence, as well as analytical studies to identify risk factors and test hypotheses. The key measurements used in epidemiology include incidence, prevalence, mortality rates, and proportions. Epidemiological studies make comparisons between groups with and without disease to identify differences in host and environmental factors. Hypothesis testing and the epidemiological triad of agent, host, and environment are also discussed. The uses of epidemiology include assessing community health problems, informing individual decisions, aiding clinical understanding of diseases, and searching for causal factors.
This document provides an overview of dental public health. It defines key terms like health, public health, and dental public health. Dental public health aims to prevent dental diseases, promote oral health, and is concerned with education, research, administration of care programs, and prevention/control of common oral diseases like caries and periodontal disease. It discusses tools used like epidemiology, biostatistics, and principles of prevention, administration, and levels of prevention. It also outlines the procedural steps in dental public health like surveys, analysis, program planning, operation, financing, and appraisal. Similarities and differences between private clinics and public health dentistry are noted.

How hospitals can used PatientReported experience questionnaire (PREM)? (EN)Shared Patient Experience
Patient-reported experience questionnaires (PREM) can be used by hospitals to collect feedback from patients on their experiences. This allows hospitals to identify problems, develop improvement opportunities, and evaluate the impact of changes. The document discusses how one hospital in Belgium implemented a PREM project to gather patient feedback over multiple phases. They were able to identify issues, test solutions, and gain insights that benefit both patients and caregivers. While PREM requires resources and cultural change, it provides a way for hospitals to objectively measure patient experience and safety.

The document outlines the components of human nature. It describes humans as having both a spiritual soul and material body. The soul is divided into an intellect, which seeks truth, and a will, which seeks to love the truth. It also contains appetites, including a rational appetite oriented towards good and a sensitive appetite of sensuality. Sensuality is further divided into concupiscible and irascible appetites, which correspond to specific passions or emotions. The document provides detailed breakdowns of these appetites and their related passions.
The circulatory system transports oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and antibodies throughout the body using the heart, blood vessels and blood. It is divided into three parts - the heart which acts as a double pump, the blood which carries oxygen and removes waste, and blood vessels including arteries, veins and capillaries. The circulatory system consists of pulmonary, coronary and systemic circulation which respectively oxygenate blood in the lungs, supply the heart muscles and provide nourishment to tissues throughout the body.

Dental Myth, Fallacies and Misconceptions and its Association with Socio-Dent...DrRipika Sharma
Introduction: It is important to know about the myths and misconceptions, especially in India, where general and oral health is
embroiled in various myths and ritualistic practices.
Objectives: The purpose of this study is aimed at assessing the prevalence of dental myth and utilizes socio-dental impact
locus of control scale (SILOC) health model, as the theoretical framework to understand the dental myth and belief and possible
reasons for noncompliance with recommended health action.
Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted by the out-patients attending dental institute, in Bengaluru
city. A total of 150 individuals were included, data were collected using a pretested and validated three-part questionnaire
including demographic data, questions regarding dental myth, and seven items SILOC. Data obtained were statistically analyzed
using descriptive statistics, t-test, and spearman’s rank correlation.
Results: Almost all the participant believed in one or more dental myth. About 71.3% of the participant had high (≥11) SILOC
scores. Statistically significant difference (P < 0.001) was found between mean SILOC scores and gender with males having
a lower mean score (14.94) as compared to females (18.62). When SILOC scores and myth scores were compared against
socioeconomic status, it showed statistically significant difference (P < 0.001), between them. The SILOC scores highly correlated
with myth scores.
Conclusion: Various dental myth and false perception still lurk in the minds of the population, to discourage the unhealthy
practices; we the health professionals have to provide intensive health education and promote the adoption of healthy practices.
It would be prudent to familiarize professionals to understand these myths and beliefs as they act as barriers toward seeking
treatment.

This document discusses dental caries and the management of patients at high risk for caries. It describes the restorative cycle where patients receive repeated restorations due to new caries forming next to existing restorations. Early detection of caries lesions and ongoing risk assessment of patients is important to help prevent disease progression and need for advanced treatment. Factors like diet, oral hygiene, fluoride exposure, and saliva influence caries risk. For high risk patients, treatment planning aims to continually reduce risk and monitor lesions.
David Ocon - Oral Health and Perception PaperDavid Ocon
This document discusses improving global oral health through outreach clinics, using a case study of a clinic in Chiquilistagua, Nicaragua. It finds that 64% of children under 12 had tooth decay. The clinic provided dental treatment to over 800 people and educated children on oral hygiene. To improve oral health globally, it recommends focusing on prevention, training local workers, and leaving sustainable and low-cost supplies. It also advocates for increasing access to fluoridated water and toothpaste to significantly reduce tooth decay rates in a cost-effective way. Improving oral health literacy in communities through outreach clinics can help change public perceptions and policies around oral healthcare.
1. Oral health education provided by dental professionals has faced criticism for being expert-led, prescriptive, and failing to acknowledge social factors influencing behavior change.
2. Reviews found little evidence that oral health education alone reduces cavities unless combined with fluoride, and that increases in patient knowledge did not necessarily translate to behavior changes.
3. Studies showed dental professionals provided inconsistent advice to patients and were more likely to advise middle-class patients perceived as more motivated, using a didactic teaching approach.
Case Studies of 8 Federally Qualified Health Centerssaskohc
This document provides an executive summary of a research study that conducted case studies of 8 federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) to understand how they integrate oral health and primary care services and utilize various oral health workforce models. Key findings included that FQHCs employed strategies like using electronic health records and co-locating services to integrate care. They also commonly used team-based approaches and innovative workforce models, like dental therapists and hygienists, to improve access. However, funding limitations posed challenges to maintaining and expanding service delivery. The case studies provided insights into effective, locally-designed approaches to oral health care delivery for underserved populations.
The document provides an overview of dental public health and the role of dental hygienists. It discusses topics such as the historical development of dental hygiene and prevention programs, dental care delivery systems in the US and internationally, program planning and evaluation, oral epidemiology, and careers in dental public health.

Improving Oral Health Access Migrant and Seasonal WorkersMPCA
Migrant farmworkers face significant barriers to accessing oral healthcare. Dental disease is one of the top 5 health problems for farmworkers aged 5-29. The main barriers include lack of insurance, inability to afford care, and lack of providers accepting Medicaid. Several organizations in Michigan provide dental services to migrant farmworkers, but they can only serve about 15-20% of this population due to limited resources. Expanding access will require innovative models of care delivery and increasing funding for preventive oral health programs.

Preventing dental caries in children ,5 yearsNina Shevchenko
This systematic review aimed to update recommendations on preventing dental caries in children under 5. The review found:
1) No studies directly evaluated the effectiveness of screening by primary care providers on caries outcomes.
2) One good-quality study found primary care examination had reasonable accuracy for identifying cavities.
3) No studies evaluated the accuracy of primary care risk assessment for future caries.
4) Two nonrandomized trials found multifactorial interventions including education were associated with reduced caries, but did not isolate the effectiveness of education alone.

1. Cytology is the study of cells and their structure and function. Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotic cells possess a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.
2. DNA is the genetic material found in the nucleus. It was discovered in 1953 by Watson, Crick, and Franklin and consists of two strands of nucleotides connected in a double helix structure.
3. The nucleus contains DNA and directs cell activities. It is surrounded by a nuclear membrane and contains chromatin, genes, and nucleoli where ribosomes are formed before leaving through nuclear pores.
This document describes the principles, organization, and operation of a DNA bank established by the Department of Veterans Affairs Cooperative Studies Program. The DNA bank was created to facilitate genetic research using DNA samples collected from participants in clinical trials and studies. Key aspects discussed include obtaining informed consent from participants, ensuring privacy and confidentiality, resolving issues around ownership and future use of genetic material, and providing an infrastructure to support linking genetic and clinical data. The DNA bank is intended to be a shared resource that can support future genetic research across multiple clinical studies in different disease areas over time.
1. Beri-beri (known as taon) was a leading cause of infant mortality in Asia and the Philippines, and is a food deficiency disease caused by a diet relying on over-milled or polished rice lacking in thiamine.
2. Tuberculosis was also a major public health problem, with the TB mortality rate in Manila being 483.6 per 100,000 population and 216.2 in provinces.
3. Significant milestones in dentistry included the establishment of the first dental school in 1912 and the founding of several other dental colleges between 1915-1953, while nursing education was formalized with the establishment of nursing schools under the Bureau of Education in 1909.
Genetics is the study of heredity, or how biological traits are passed from parents to children through genes. Genes are sections of DNA located on chromosomes that determine specific traits. Humans have two sets of 23 chromosomes, one set inherited from each parent, which combine to determine a person's characteristics and genetic makeup. Mendelian inheritance describes how genetic traits are determined based on alleles, or variations of genes, that are inherited from both parents.
The urinary system consists of paired kidneys, ureters, a urinary bladder, and a urethra. The kidneys filter the blood to remove wastes and excess water, which are collected in the bladder via the ureters. When full, the bladder contracts to expel urine through the urethra. Each kidney contains millions of nephrons, the functional units that filter the blood, reabsorb necessary molecules, and secrete wastes into the urine. The collected urine is concentrated in the kidneys before exiting through the ureters into the bladder for storage and eventual expulsion.
The document describes the key components and processes of the respiratory system. It begins by outlining the major parts of the respiratory system including the conducting zone, which carries air to the lungs, and the respiratory zone, where gas exchange occurs. It then discusses the major structures involved in ventilation, including the nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi and lungs. It describes how oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged between the air and blood in the alveoli through diffusion. In summary, the document provides an overview of the organs and processes that make up the respiratory system and allow for gas exchange in the body.
This document discusses the nature and morality of human acts. It defines human acts as actions that are consciously and freely done, requiring knowledge, freedom, and voluntariness. Human acts are distinguished from acts of man, which are actions beyond one's consciousness and control. The morality of a human act depends on its object, intention, and circumstances. Some acts are intrinsically evil regardless of intention due to their object. To determine the morality of an act, one must consider whether the object, intention, and circumstances together are good or bad.
The document introduces the four basic tissue types - epithelial, connective, muscle and nervous tissue. It states that all animals are composed of only these four tissue types, which are organized to form organs and functional systems of the body. Examples of each tissue type are then described, including their locations, shapes, and main functions. Epithelial tissues cover surfaces, connective tissues provide structure and binding, muscle tissues enable movement, and nervous tissues transmit signals. Life processes like respiration, circulation, and digestion rely on the coordinated function of these four tissue types.
This document discusses the benefits of exercise for both physical and mental health. It states that exercise can improve cardiovascular health, reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety, enhance mood, and reduce stress levels. The document recommends that adults get at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise or 75 minutes of vigorous exercise per week to gain these benefits.
This document discusses dental ethics and the principles of ethics for dental assistants. It outlines that ethics deals with moral conduct, duty, and judgment in determining right and wrong actions. The code of ethics for dental assistants serves as the standard for all practicing assistants. The principles outline maintaining and enriching the profession, maintaining confidentiality, refraining from unauthorized services, upgrading skills, and participating in professional organizations. The document also discusses the dental team and the roles and responsibilities of assistants as representatives of the dental profession in providing the best patient care under the leadership of the dentist.
The circulatory system is made up of the heart and blood vessels which work together to circulate blood around the body. The heart pumps blood through arteries which take it away from the heart. Arteries have thick muscular walls to push blood along. Veins then carry blood back towards the heart, and have valves to prevent backflow. Capillaries link arteries and veins and have a thin one cell wall to exchange materials between blood and body cells. Blood contains plasma, red blood cells which carry oxygen, white blood cells which protect the body, and platelets which help the blood to clot.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

New Opportunities for Dentistry in
Diagnosis and Primary Health Care
Report of Panel 1 of the Macy Study
A major study initiative, “New Models of Dental Education,” funded by the Josiah Macy, Jr. Foundation, convened three panels
of distinguished experts to examine issues related to the dental curriculum. This report is from Panel 1, held September 24–25,
2006, on the subject of diagnosis and primary health care. Staffing the panel were Allan J. Formicola (The Macy Study), Richard
W. Valachovic (American Dental Education Association), and Jacqueline E. Chmar (American Dental Education Association).
There were ten panelists:
• Ira B. Lamster, D.D.S., M.M.Sc., Dean, Columbia University College of Dental Medicine (chair)
• Lisa A. Tedesco, Ph.D., Vice-Provost for Academic Affairs–Graduate Studies and Dean of the Graduate School, Emory
University (moderator)
• Deborah M. Fournier, Ph.D., M.S., Associate Dean for Institutional Planning and Evaluation, Boston University Henry M.
Goldman School of Dental Medicine
• J. Max Goodson, D.D.S., Ph.D., Director of Clinical Research, The Forsyth Institute
• Alan R. Gould, D.D.S., M.S., Director, Oral Pathology Group, Indiana University School of Dentistry
• N. Karl Haden, Ph.D., President, Academy for Academic Leadership
• T. Howard Howell, Jr., D.D.S., Dean for Dental Education, Harvard School of Dental Medicine
• Titus K. Schleyer, D.M.D., Ph.D., Chair, Department of Dental Informatics, Temple University School of Dentistry
• Jonathan A. Ship, D.M.D., Director, Bluestone Center for Clinical Research and Professor, New York University College
of Dentistry
• David T.W. Wong, D.M.D., D.M.Sc., Associate Dean of Research and Professor, Division of Oral Biology and Medicine,
University of California, Los Angeles, School of Dentistry
P
atient evaluation and diagnosis are essential
to the practice of dentistry. Direct clinical ob-
servations and radiographic findings are used
to identify existing problems and to select the most
appropriate dental treatment. Evaluation of a patient’s
health status determines how systemic illnesses can
modify oral, dental, and craniofacial diseases and a
patient’s ability to tolerate dental treatment.
New opportunities exist for expanding the
concept of diagnosis in the dental office. Specifically,
the relationship of oral infection to certain systemic
diseases has re-emphasized the mouth-body con-
nection, and saliva, cells, and other oral fluids are
being studied as means to diagnose a host of oral
and systemic disorders. This scientifically based,
clinically relevant, contemporary emphasis presents
logical opportunities to pursue primary health care
in the dental office.
The experts in Panel 1 discussed how changes
in the definition of dental practice could begin with
changes to the dental school curriculum and clinical
education. The ultimate goal is the training of dental
practitioners who can more precisely evaluate oral,
dental, and craniofacial diseases and help promote
early diagnosis of systemic diseases.
Systemic Health, Dentistry,
and Dental Education:
Evolving Over Time
The health care environment, including den-
tistry, is evolving. The population is aging, patients
are retaining their teeth, edentulism is declining,
and more people with multiple chronic diseases
are seeking dental care. We have an improved
understanding of the etiology of oral and systemic
disorders and of primary and secondary risk fac-
tors for oral, dental, and craniofacial disorders.
Clinical care treatment options continue to expand
as new approaches to treat partial and complete
edentulism (e.g., implants), periodontal diseases
(e.g., new drug therapies, regenerative surgery),
and caries (e.g., remineralization, conservative
tooth preparation) are introduced. With a growing
body of knowledge suggesting that oral infection
and the associated tissue inflammation may affect
diseases and conditions (e.g., cerebrovascular/car-
diovascular disease, pregnancy, respiratory disease,
diabetes mellitus), there is an increased emphasis
2. February 2008 Supplement ■ Journal of Dental Education 67
on the importance of oral diseases in the context
of systemic health.
The dental profession must consider practice
models that will be relevant for the remainder of the
twenty-first century. A new “educational map” will
influence what students learn in dental school and
how they perform as dental practitioners. Patients,
clinicians, and educators of the future will see greater
emphasis in the following areas:
• diagnosis of oral diseases, using new technology
and computer-based programs to augment decision
making;
• knowledge of systemic diseases that modify oral
diseases;
• diagnosis of systemic diseases that can be affected
by oral diseases; and
• health care screening and interventions in the
dental office.

titudesshouldthestudent-dentistandpracticingdentist
possesstoensureappropriatepatientcare?Howwillthe
learning and shift in emphasis be assessed and evalu-
ated? What are appropriate outcome measures?These
general questions have been discussed in the literature,
focusing on the linkage between oral infection and a
number of systemic diseases and the broader issue of
education of dentists and the scope of practice.1-3
The
opportunity now exists to create educational models
thatemphasizethedentistasafullmemberofthehealth
care team.This evolution will result in a new standard
of practice for the dental profession.
A discussion of the future of dental educa-
tion and dental practice emphasizing diagnosis and
primary health care is best begun with a review of
the Gies report, funded by the Carnegie Foundation
and published in 1926.4
The Gies report followed
the 1910 publication of the Flexner report on the
future of medical education.5
Officially titled “Den-
tal Education in the United States and Canada,” the
Gies report offered suggestions for the future of the
dental profession. In an era when proprietary dental
education often clouded the path towards the stan-
dardized preparation of a well-trained dentist, the
Gies report advocated a minimum of two years of
college, dental education closely modeled on medi-
cal education, and optional postgraduate training.
About seventy years later, the Institute of Medicine
issued “Dental Education at the Crossroads: Chal-
lenges and Change.”6
This report firmly emphasized
the need for dental education to integrate with
medical education and for dental schools to become
integral and contributing components of their parent
universities.
Recent advances in health care—driven largely
by improved understanding of basic biological sci-
ence (e.g., genomics, proteomics), new pharmaco-
logical agents based on improved understanding of
biological and pathological processes, and advances
in technology (e.g., imaging and less invasive surgical
interventions)—are changing the practice of medi-
cine. Similar changes are occurring in oral health
care. There is a clear trend toward increased tooth
retention, dramatic improvements in dental materi-
als, and regenerative techniques to help retain teeth
and establish an ideal environment for placement of
dental implants. These advances in dental treatment
offer improved options for patients of all ages.
How Should Dental
Education Change to Meet
Future Practice Needs?
In this context, and in consideration of the
role of the dental profession within the health care
system, it is fair to ask if and how the preparation of
dentists in dental school should change. New dental
graduates must be prepared to incorporate the latest
advances into dental practice.They must be prepared
to treat patients who have complicated medical his-
tories, especially those using multiple medications
(polypharmacy). It is common for dentists to treat
patients who present with systemic disorders (e.g.,
diabetes mellitus) or who engage in adverse health-
related behaviors (e.g., cigarette smoking) that affect
oral and dental diseases.
What level of knowledge about diagnosis and
general health care is required for dental clinicians
to function efficiently and effectively in this newly
expanded health care role? What skills, attitudes,
teaching strategies, and assessment strategies are
needed to prepare dental students for this expanded
role in the health care system?
Types and Level of Knowledge
Required
Improving diagnostic skills is dependent on
a thorough understanding of the biological basis
of disease and on how diseases are identified by
clinical and laboratory means. Understanding of the
pathologic basis of oral and dental diseases will lead
3. 68 Journal of Dental Education ■ Volume 72, Number 2 Supplement
to new diagnostic tests and computer-based tools for
evaluating and managing patients in the dental office.
An understanding of systemic diseases by dentists
will improve the management of patients presenting
for dental care and allow dentists to assess changes
that can occur over the course of treatment.
In this context, the role of dentists in primary
health care must be considered.With greater demands
on the health care system to care for patients, the
dental office represents an ideal location to assume
some of these responsibilities, benefiting patients
and clinicians alike. Considering that nearly two-
thirds of Americans saw a dentist in the past year
and that there is an increasing understanding of the
relationship between oral/dental disorders and many
systemic disorders, this paradigm shift represents a
great opportunity for dentists to contribute to the
improved health of the public and further integrate
dentistry into the health care system.
In order to move this change forward, dental
students should graduate with an understanding of
the following:
Diagnosis of Oral and Dental Disease. It is
critical to understand the etiology, risk factors, and
epidemiology of oral diseases that present in the
dental office (e.g., periodontal disease, coronal and
root caries, oral dysplastic lesions and oral cancers,
pathology of the epithelial and mesenchymal tissues,
salivary gland disease and xerostomia, and neuro-
muscular disorders of the head and neck including
the temporomandibular joint).
It is also essential to understand current and ex-
perimental approaches and tests for the diagnosis of
oral and dental disorders. Examples are laser fluores-
cence7
and optical coherence tomography8
for caries
diagnosis. The student-dentist and practicing dentist
must be aware that new diagnostic tools are in a state
of evolution and assessment.9
Computer-based risk
assessment tools will also need to be incorporated
into dental practice.10,11
Diagnosis of Systemic Diseases and Condi-
tions That Can BeAffected by Oral Diseases. The
current interest in periodontal medicine is mostly
focused on how oral and dental diseases affect sys-
temic conditions like cardiovascular, cerebrovascular,
and respiratory diseases, diabetes mellitus, and preg-
nancy. Student-dentists and dentists need an in-depth
understanding of these specific conditions. Baum
recently called for a greater emphasis on internal
medicine in the dental school curriculum.12
In addition, the long-recognized concern about
bacteremia following dental procedures and the
risk for infection at distant sites have taken on new
significance.
Diagnosis of Systemic Diseases That Can
Modify Oral and Dental Diseases. The most rec-
ognized systemic disorder associated with modified
risk for oral/dental diseases is the increased risk for
periodontitis associated with diabetes mellitus. This
relationship requires a thorough understanding of the
etiology and pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatments
for disorders such as diabetes mellitus.
A large number of other disorders can manifest
in the oral cavity. Among them are hematological
diseases (manifesting as a change in the color of the
tissues or gingival bleeding), malignancy (metastases
in the craniofacial region), autoimmune diseases
(pemphigus, pemphigoids, Sjögren’s syndrome), and
recently described disorders such as osteonecrosis of
the jaw associated with bisphosphonate therapy.
Dental practitioners will need a thorough under-
standing of drug usage and new pharmacologic agents
being used by patients. With the aging of the popula-
tion and increased longevity, polypharmacy routinely
occurs among older adults. The implications of poly-
pharmacy for the dentist who is writing additional
prescriptions are critically important. Xerostomia is
an adverse side effect of hundreds of medications, and
adverse drug reactions are common in the elderly.
Primary Health Care Screenings and Inter-
ventions in the Dental Office. Cigarette smoking is
a major risk factor for oral squamous cell carcinoma
and periodontal disease. Smoking cessation programs
in which dentists explain the importance of cessation
for oral and dental health and general health should
be part of regular dental care.
Dental practitioners should be keen observers
of the status of patients who come for dental treat-
ment. Any unusual or adverse findings should be
questioned or pursued. Examples are dermatologic
lesions on the face, head, and other exposed skin
surfaces. Premalignant and malignant lesions of the
face, head, and neck are best treated early to avoid
disfiguring surgery required for more advanced
stages of disease. Examination of the patient’s face
and other skin surfaces can be achieved using the light
in the dental operatory. Other examples of findings
that should be questioned are changes in skin color,
the presence of edema, and objective and subjective
comments by the patient.
Other interventions should be considered as
data become available to support their inclusion in
a dentist’s work-up. Examples include diet manage-
ment for overweight or obese patients. Dentists are
4. February 2008 Supplement ■ Journal of Dental Education 69
familiar with discussion of food and carbohydrate
intake with patients who are at risk for dental caries.
These skills could be employed in a broader context.
Further, as evidence accumulates suggesting other di-
agnostic linkages (e.g., osteoporosis based on dental
radiographs13
), these disorders should be included
in the requirements for all students graduating from
dental school.After assessment, appropriate referral
to an internist or endocrinologist is warranted.
Patient-Centered Behavioral Sciences and
Communication Skills. Dental practitioners need a
fundamental understanding of the current research
findings in areas related to behavioral sciences and
patient-centered care, as well as their impact on di-
agnosis, effective practice, and patient satisfaction.
A working knowledge of the research and practices
in health literacy is also fundamental to a full under-
standing of contemporary behavioral sciences and
patient-centered care.
Knowledge of the research and practice re-
lated to changing health behaviors, compliance with
healthy regimens, and relapse prevention is also es-
sential to the contemporary practice of dentistry and
the maintenance of oral health.
In addition, fundamental to dental practice will
be an understanding of classic interpersonal commu-
nication concepts and of contemporary research on
basic approaches to patient-centered and culturally
sensitive communications.
Skills Required for the Future
Dentist
The fundamental skills required for this new
emphasis in dental practice begin with the basic
science and preclinical portions of the curriculum.
These skills must be consistently reinforced in the
clinical training that follows. The establishment
of basic skills must be built on the foundation of
knowledge provided in the basic biomedical sci-
ences related to diagnostics and therapeutics and
on the contemporary findings from behavioral sci-
ences related to patient-centered, culturally sensitive
care. To achieve the successful demonstration of
the new skill areas described below, institutional
commitments will be required that include change
in patient evaluation systems and change in clinical
pedagogy.
Prior to graduation—using an enhanced patient
evaluation system based on an understanding of the
pathophysiology of disease—a dental student should
demonstrate the following skills:
• appropriate selection and application of new di-
agnostic tests for oral and dental conditions such
as caries, periodontal disease, and squamous cell
carcinoma;
• problem-solving strategies, including use of deci-
sion support tools to enhance the evaluation of the
medical status of patients seen for dental care;
• interviewing of patients about their medical, den-
tal, and social history;
• oral and written communication so that graduating
dentists can communicate with other health care
professionals to extend and enhance integrated
care and follow-up;
• interpersonal communication that demonstrates
sensitivity to patient perspectives, life circum-
stances, and ability to understand and comply with
treatment recommendations; and
• observational acuity to recognize common physi-
cal changes associated with specific systemic
illnesses.
For students to develop these skills, dental
schools should:
• emphasize that patient care should be driven by
diagnosis and identification of specific problems
rather than by clinical procedures;
• focus attention on specific medical disorders (e.g.,
cardiovascular diseases) affected by oral diseases,
on oral diseases modified by systemic diseases
(e.g., diabetes mellitus), and on primary health care
interventions (e.g., smoking cessation) with specific
relevance to oral and dental disorders; and
• develop a system that allows dental students and
their instructors to have access to the pertinent
medical records of patients being treated in dental
schools/health sciences centers, and create patient
evaluation and education approaches that support
oral-systemic health promotion, diagnosis, treat-
ment, and follow-up.
Attitudes Required for the Future
Dentist
The development and consistent expression of
attitudes that represent and preserve clinical respon-
sibility for diagnosis and greater involvement in pri-
mary care are crucial to rebalancing how dentistry is
practiced today and in the future. Understanding the
role of new diagnostic tests, decision support tools,
and the importance of the oral-systemic relationship
will not be enough to ensure consistent practice
within a framework that is primary care-oriented.
Positive attitudes and high value placed on these as-
5. 70 Journal of Dental Education ■ Volume 72, Number 2 Supplement
pects of oral health have always had an important role
in patient care; however, for contemporary clinical
practice in dentistry, they are increasingly at the cen-
ter of care. This new paradigm will only be achieved
by focusing away from treating individual teeth and
towards treatment of the patient who presents with
dental problems. Only with mindful, consistent focus
and a reordering of priorities in clinical practice will
the student reach this standard of care.
Clearly, attitudes and values underlying this
change in orientation and commitment will only
come from educational experiences designed to
instill new attitudes and values for a different focus
in patient care. Contemporary clinical practice will
be strengthened from educational experiences that
create positive attitudes of importance and value for
the habits of practice, mind, and professional self-
definition. The contemporary clinician will value
the following:
• diagnostic tests and an understanding of the role
they play in patient evaluation;
• decision support mechanisms and how they im-
prove diagnosis;
• the impact of oral health on systemic conditions
and patient health;
• the relationship of improved patient outcomes
for oral conditions to the general health of the
patient;
• health maintenance when patients are medically
healthy, and practices that monitor health status,
promoting the dentist’s role in disease prevention
and health promotion through diagnostics;
• the speed of change in health care;
• adaptation to change and incorporation of change
into practice as a result of new scientific informa-
tion;
• a view of oneself as a constantly evolving practi-
tioner with a commitment to staying current and
incorporating new diagnostic techniques as they
become available;
• self-evaluation and self-awareness of how one
learns and changes;
• the dentist as part of the health care team, with
consistent interprofessional collaboration; and
• increased access to health care services for all
patients.
Teaching Strategies Required to
Educate the Future Dentist
One of the hallmarks of pedagogy in the health
professions is the opportunity for faculty to teach and
students to learn through the fundamental meaning
of a patient or case. In dental education, progress
on case-based teaching, the development of related
pedagogies, and educational reorganization to sup-
port innovation in classroom, small group, and clini-
cal education have been consistent over the last two
decades.14-23
The role of patients and the cases they
represent serve to convene faculty and student in
mindful problem solving, which includes discovery
and analysis of medical, dental, and social conditions
using increasingly sophisticated diagnostics and
increasingly socially sensitive conversation.
Teaching strategies and educational organi-
zation must be guided in order to adequately and
substantively support an oral-systemic emphasis and
the primary care connections in patient care in the
following ways:
Curriculum Organization and Manage-
ment. Multidisciplinary education must become the
norm and represent the meaning and purposes of
primary care as it applies to dentistry. Educational
sequences should include rotation strategies across
discipline specialties in medicine and dentistry,
clerkships and hospital rotations, and experience in
faculty and residency clinics. For example, a dental
presence in medical rotations to specialty clinics in
endocrinology or dermatology, or in special facili-
ties for geriatric patients, would advance the goals
presented above.
Teaching Techniques. Case-based/problem-
based teaching and learning techniques should be
designed to support the oral-systemic diagnostic
emphases discussed above. Time should be allowed
for small group discussions, classroom discussion,
and case examination. Students should have regular
access to examples of how expert clinicians think,
analyze, and use the diagnostic tools available for
contemporary practice.
Basic Science Education. The scientific basis
on which the curriculum is designed and delivered
must be examined for coherence and integrity as it ap-
plies to a primary care, diagnostics, and therapeutics
orientation to patient care. Concomitant placement
of basic science content in proximity or in parallel
to clinical education and clinical application will
be essential to modeling new professional practices
that are patient-centered and diagnostically driven.
Basic science education must be emphasized in the
clinical years of the dental school curriculum, where
the focus is on attainment of specific skills. This can
be achieved in part through case-based and problem-
based discussions.
6. February 2008 Supplement ■ Journal of Dental Education 71
Behavioral Science Education. Curriculum
content in the behavioral sciences for supporting a
primary care orientation in classroom and clinic set-
tings must include more depth and breadth in patient
interviewing; social, medical, and dental history
taking; behavior change strategies for compliance;
and health promotion. The design and implementa-
tion of a supportive behavioral science curriculum
will result from inclusive and mindful collaborations
with colleagues who have expertise in effective com-
munication, the biopsychosocial model, and patient-
centered care.24-27
Educational and Clinical Infrastructure.
Revising the educational and clinical infrastructure
will be paramount to new systems for contemporary
practice based on a full understanding of oral-sys-
temic connections and how this may influence pri-
mary care activities in the dental office. Patient care
records, shared by dentistry and medicine, much like
in the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs system,
will be required.
Assessment Strategies Required to
Determine the Readiness of the
Future Dentist to Practice
Evaluating the educational goals stipulated
by a curriculum or training sequence is challenging
enough for simple behaviors. For complex behaviors
and assessment of attitudes and values, the task is
considerably more difficult.The design of assessment
strategies should mirror realistic situations and set a
standard for “successful response” patient-centered
processes. Testing for these process outcomes will
require the student to demonstrate not only use of a
foundation of knowledge and success in the applica-
tion of skill or techniques, but also whether attitudes
and values have been shaped to ensure the appropriate
use of behavioral science and communications skills
that support patient-centered practice.17
Borrowing from other general education areas,
health professions educators have used several assess-
ment approaches aimed at evaluating the student’s
knowledge, skills, and attitudes, applied to a case or
a simulated set of circumstances, at varying levels of
difficulty. Portfolio assessments, objective structured
clinical examinations (OSCEs), case reviews, and
videotaping of clinical encounters or standardized
patients are increasingly used in health professions
education.28-31
All of these types of knowledge, skills, and at-
titudes, imparted with successful teaching strategies
and assessed effectively, will be needed to prepare
dental students for their expanded roles as practitio-
ners in the future health care system.
