Regular preventive dental care visits are associated with lower follow-up costs and utilization of dental services. Patients who received preventive care in both study years spent an average of €50 on dental services, compared to €114 for those who received preventive care in one year only and €190 for those who received no preventive care. Across all dental service categories, including diagnostic, basic restoration, major restoration, endodontics, periodontics, prosthodontics, and oral surgery, expenditures were consistently lowest for those who received regular preventive dental visits.

The summit will focus on implementing Ireland's national suicide prevention strategy, with the vision of fewer lives lost to suicide through empowering communities and individuals to improve mental health and wellbeing. It will examine who to support, how best to provide that support, the strategy's guiding principles and themes, 7 strategic goals, measuring effectiveness, and the national implementation structure.
Dangers of cancer
Cancer is characterized by uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells. Cancer starts with one abnormal cell multiplying into billions of cancerous cells. Cancer cells attack healthy cells and destroy them, rapidly multiplying. Cancer spreads mainly through the bloodstream and lymphatic system. Oral cancer affects the mouth, lips, tongue, salivary glands, pharynx and larynx. Risk factors include heavy tobacco and alcohol use, HPV, and sun exposure. Signs include sores that don't heal, lumps, white patches, and problems chewing or swallowing. Regular dental exams and hygiene can help prevent oral cancer.
oral cancer
This document discusses strategies for preventing oral cancer, including controlling risk factors like smoking, alcohol use, and HPV infection. It notes that oral cancer has multiple potential causes, making prevention difficult. The main risk factor is tobacco use, which accounts for over 90% of oral cancer cases. Quitting smoking significantly reduces cancer risks over time, with risks dropping by half after 10-15 years of abstinence. As dental professionals, the document recommends following the "5 A's" approach of asking patients about tobacco use, advising them to quit, assessing willingness to quit, assisting with a plan to quit, and arranging follow-up support.
Preventive dental care new
This document discusses the importance of preventive dental care. It emphasizes that dental disease is preventable through proper brushing, flossing, eating a balanced diet, and regular dental checkups. The document is presented by Dr. Monika Agrawal from SYMA Dental Care Pvt. Ltd and provides tips for maintaining good oral hygiene habits at various life stages to prevent common issues like cavities, gum disease, and bad breath.
Oral Cancer Prevention
A smoking cessation and oral cancer screening program will be implemented at the UDM dental clinic to reduce oral cancer risk among patients. The program will involve screening for oral cancer, education on smoking cessation, and promoting sustainable oral self-exams. Short term outcomes include improved knowledge of oral cancer and decreased smoking. Long term outcomes aim to reduce oral cancer incidence through early detection and prolonged smoking cessation. The intervention is supported by high level evidence from systematic reviews demonstrating the effectiveness of combined smoking cessation counseling and oral cancer screening in dental settings.
Lecture 1 introduction to preventive dental health
This document introduces preventive dental health, defining it as seeking to prevent dental diseases through identification of oral health threats, promotion of health, and targeted awareness campaigns. It notes challenges to preventive dental health in Saudi Arabia include lack of awareness, secure resources and funding, and sufficient human capital. While some may see preventive dental care as a luxury, the document argues it is a necessity, as dental diseases can be prevented through early detection and intervention, reducing economic burdens at both individual and national levels due to its connection to overall health.
Enhanced preventive dental services
The document summarizes the Enhanced Preventive Dental Services Initiative in Saskatchewan from 2011-2015. The goals were to reduce dental decay, contribute to healthy development of at-risk groups, and reduce oral surgeries for children under general anesthesia. Services included oral health assessments, consultations, fluoride varnish, and dental sealants for at-risk children aged 0-5 through schools and child health clinics. Evaluation results found the targets for services provided and consent rates were largely met or exceeded each year, and there was a significant increase in oral surgeries on young children from 2011-2015 despite the initiative.
Oral cancer
This document outlines a seminar plan on oral cancer presented by Dr. Jyotindra Singh. It begins with an introduction and covers the anatomy of the oral cavity, risk factors for oral cancer like tobacco and alcohol use, pre-malignant conditions, individual carcinomas, surgical approaches, reconstruction/palliative care, recent advances, ongoing research, and concludes with a take home message. It provides some key facts on cancer incidence in India, with tobacco-related cancers accounting for about 300,000 cases annually. The risk factors, pre-malignant conditions like leukoplakia and erythroplakia, and individual oral cancers like carcinoma of the cheek are described in detail.

Nutrition in Cancer Prevention
The document discusses the relationship between nutrition and cancer prevention. Some key points:
- One third of cancer deaths in the US are attributed to lifestyle factors like nutrition.
- Epidemiological studies link certain foods like fruits/vegetables to lower cancer risk, while high fat diets and obesity are associated with higher risks.
- Specific foods like fiber, carotenoids, and lycopene from plants may protect against cancer through antioxidant effects and influencing hormone levels/cell growth.
- While supplements like beta-carotene require more research, diets high in a variety of plant-based foods are recommended for cancer prevention.

Prevention of dental caries
This document summarizes a study that compared the effectiveness of pit and fissure sealants versus fluoride varnishes in preventing dental decay. The study reviewed 4 eligible studies and found that pit and fissure sealants were more effective than fluoride varnishes at preventing decay based on results from one high-quality split-mouth study and one cluster-randomized study. However, the results could not be combined due to clinical and methodological differences between the studies. In conclusion, pit and fissure sealants were shown to be more effective than fluoride varnishes for preventing decay on occlusal surfaces.
Oral cancers
Oral cancers are a major public health issue, especially in India which accounts for 86% of global oral cancer cases. Tobacco use, in forms such as chewing tobacco, is the main risk factor, causing around 90% of oral cancers. The National Cancer Control Programme aims to prevent oral cancers through tobacco control and early detection, and treat them through strengthening cancer facilities and palliative care. However, banning tobacco is challenging due to its economic role.
Oral cancer
Oral cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide and constitutes the third most common cancer in developing countries. It affects lips and other intraoral sites. The main risk factors are tobacco, alcohol, poor diet/nutrition, viral infections, and chronic irritation. Precancerous lesions like leukoplakia and erythroplakia can develop due to these risk factors and have a higher risk of becoming cancerous. Prevention focuses on reducing risk factors through education, screening, and early detection/treatment of precancerous lesions. Diagnosis and management depends on the stage, with surgery and radiation used for early stages and palliative care for late stages.

Gerald Tomkin , Director of the Diabetes Institute Beacon Hospital
This document summarizes a presentation on diabetes, atherosclerosis, and cholesterol. It discusses how diabetes increases the risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality. It notes that achieving lipid targets substantially reduces cardiovascular risk, but that target achievement is still uncommon. New therapies that inhibit microsomal triglyceride transfer protein, apolipoprotein C3, proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9, and other targets may help lower lipids and reduce risk, but require further study of long-term safety and efficacy. The need to more intensively reduce risk factors to further lower cardiovascular event rates is emphasized.

Digital Health in India_Health Informatics Trained Manpower _DrDevTaneja_15.0...
Digital India will need a big trained army of Health Informatics educated & trained manpower in India.
Presently, generalist IT manpower does most of the work in the healthcare industry in India. Academic Health Informatics education is not readily available at school & health university level or IT education institutions in India.
We look into the evolution of health informatics and its applications in the healthcare industry.
HIMMS TIGER resources are available to assist Health Informatics education.
Indian Health universities, IT Education institutions, and the healthcare industry must proactively collaborate to start health informatics courses on a big scale. An advocacy push from various stakeholders is also needed for this goal.
Health informatics has huge employment potential and provides a big business opportunity for the healthcare industry. A big pool of trained health informatics manpower can lead to product & service innovations on a global scale in India.

THE SPECIAL SENCES- Unlocking the Wonders of the Special Senses: Sight, Sound...
Title: Unlocking the Wonders of the Special Senses: Sight, Sound, Smell, Taste, and Balance
Introduction:
Welcome to our captivating SlideShare presentation on the Special Senses, where we delve into the extraordinary capabilities that allow us to perceive and interact with the world around us. Join us on a sensory journey as we explore the intricate structures and functions of sight, sound, smell, taste, and balance.
The special senses are our primary means of experiencing and interpreting the environment, each sense providing unique and vital information that shapes our perceptions and responses. These senses are facilitated by highly specialized organs and complex neural pathways, enabling us to see a vibrant sunset, hear a symphony, savor a delicious meal, detect a fragrant flower, and maintain our equilibrium.
In this presentation, we will:
Visual System (Sight): Dive into the anatomy and physiology of the eye, exploring how light is converted into electrical signals and processed by the brain to create the images we see. Understand common vision disorders and the mechanisms behind corrective measures like glasses and contact lenses.
Auditory System (Hearing): Examine the structures of the ear and the process of sound wave transduction, from the outer ear to the cochlea and auditory nerve. Learn about hearing loss, auditory processing, and the advances in hearing aid technology.
Olfactory System (Smell): Discover the olfactory receptors and pathways that enable the detection of thousands of different odors. Explore the connection between smell and memory and the impact of olfactory disorders on quality of life.
Gustatory System (Taste): Uncover the taste buds and the five basic tastes – sweet, salty, sour, bitter, and umami. Delve into the interplay between taste and smell and the factors influencing our food preferences and eating habits.
Vestibular System (Balance): Investigate the inner ear structures responsible for balance and spatial orientation. Understand how the vestibular system helps maintain posture and coordination, and explore common vestibular disorders and their effects.
Through engaging visuals, interactive diagrams, and insightful explanations, we aim to illuminate the complexities of the special senses and their profound impact on our daily lives. Whether you're a student, educator, or simply curious about how we perceive the world, this presentation will provide valuable insights into the remarkable capabilities of the human sensory system.
Join us as we unlock the wonders of the special senses and gain a deeper appreciation for the intricate mechanisms that allow us to experience the richness of our environment.
