Dental caries occur when the demineralization of the enamel exceeds its demineralization capacity. Dental caries is a dynamic process that involves susceptible tooth surfaces, cariogenic bacteria, mainly Streptococcus mutans, and a fermentable carbohydrate source. Sucrose is the most common dietary sugar and is considered the most cariogenic carbohydrate. Frequent consumption of carbohydrates in the form of simple sugars increases the risk of dental caries. This article discusses the role of sugar in developing dental caries, provides concise dietary guidelines for expecting mothers, children, and adults, and highlights the role of the interprofessional team in preventing dental caries through dietary education.

Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.

learning involving some form of communication designed to improve
health literacy, including improving knowledge, and developing life
skills which are conducive to individual and community health”.
“Health literacy represents the cognitive and social skills which
determine the motivation and ability of individuals to gain access to,
understand and use the information in ways which promote and maintain
good health”.

8. 1. Informing people (cognitive objective)- people are informed
about the different diseases, their etiology and how to prevent
them.
Information increases knowledge and helps people become
a. Aware of their health problems.
b. Preventing diseases and
c. Promoting health.

S. Peter, Essentials of Public Health Dentistry, 6th edition, 2017, New Delhi
10. 2. Motivating people (affective objective) – it concerns with clarifying,
forming and changing attitudes, beliefs and opinions. The mere presence
of information does not improve health.
After the correct information is provided, it is necessary to motivate to
alter lifestyles so that it becomes favourable to promote health and prevent
disease.
Motivation is “combination of forces which initiate, direct and sustain
behaviours.

S. Peter, Essentials of Public Health Dentistry, 6th edition, 2017, New Delhi
12. 3. Guiding into action (Behavioural objective)- developing of skills
and action.
A person who has obtained all the health information might be

18. 1. Credibility:- It is the degree to which the message is perceived as
trustworthy by the receiver.
It should be scientifically proven, based on facts and should
be compatible with local cultures and social norms/goals.
18
S. Peter, Essentials of Public Health Dentistry, 6th edition, 2017, New Delhi
19. 2. Interest:- The topic should be on interest to people, only then they
will listen to it.
The health educator should identify the “felt needs” of the
people and the prepare the program that they can actively participate to
make it a success.
Felt needs is requirement of or care as determined by patient or the
public.
19
S. Peter, Essentials of Public Health Dentistry, 6th edition, 2017, New Delhi
20. 3. Participation:- encouragement of the people to participate in the
program. Once people are given a chance to be part of the program it
leads to their acceptance.
20
S. Peter, Essentials of Public Health Dentistry, 6th edition, 2017, New Delhi
21. 4. Motivation:- “the fundamental desire for learning in an individual”.
Primary motive- inborn desires which drives a person or individual
into action, like food, clothing and housing etc.
Secondary motive- desires that are the result of outside forces like
gifts, word of praise etc.
21
Health education can be facilitated
by the motivation provided by the
desire to achieve individual goals.
S. Peter, Essentials of Public Health Dentistry, 6th edition, 2017, New Delhi
22. 5. Comprehension:- level of understanding of the people who receive
the information on health education. The educator must first determine
the level of literacy and understanding of the audience and act
accordingly.
22
What not to do :
a. Use of technical/
medical terms
b. Words that are
strange and new
to the people
S. Peter, Essentials of Public Health Dentistry, 6th edition, 2017, New Delhi
23. 6. Re-inforcement (booster dose):- repetition needed in health
education provided.
It is impossible for people to learn new things in a short period of time.
Repetition should be done at regular intervals and this helps people to
understand new ideas and practices better.
23
S. Peter, Essentials of Public Health Dentistry, 6th edition, 2017, New Delhi
24. 7. Learning by doing:- just by listening or seeing new things, it is
difficult to implement them. If the learning process is accompanied by
doing them, it is better instilled in the minds of the people.
24
S. Peter, Essentials of Public Health Dentistry, 6th edition, 2017, New Delhi
25. 8. Known to unknown:- before starting any program, the health
educator should know how much people already know and then give
them the new knowledge.
The existing knowledge can be a stepping stone on which new
thoughts can be provided.
25
S. Peter, Essentials of Public Health Dentistry, 6th edition, 2017, New Delhi
26. 9. Setting an example:- the educator should follow the path of what
he preaches.
Example should be set so that people can follow and move a step
ahead.
26
S. Peter, Essentials of Public Health Dentistry, 6th edition, 2017, New Delhi
27. 10. Good human relations:- educator should have personal qualities
and should be able to maintain the friendly relations with people.
he/she posses kind and sympathetic attitude towards the people and
should be helpful in clarifying their doubts and repeating till they
understand.
27
S. Peter, Essentials of Public Health Dentistry, 6th edition, 2017, New Delhi
28. 11. Feedback:- for any program to be successful, feedback is
necessary to collect to find if any modifications or changes are need to
make the program more effective.
28
S. Peter, Essentials of Public Health Dentistry, 6th edition, 2017, New Delhi
29. 12. Community leaders:- most influential people to reach with in the
community. They can used to convince people to educate, motivate
and guide them.
