Impact of bone-anchored maxillary protraction on the quality of life of subjects with complete unilateral cleft lip and palate. Am J Orthod Dentofacial Orthop 2023; 163:102-108.e1. [PMID: 36243598 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajodo.2021.09.019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2021] [Revised: 09/01/2021] [Accepted: 09/01/2021] [Indexed: 12/27/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study aimed to evaluate the influence of bone-anchored maxillary protraction (BAMP) on the oral health-related quality of life (OHRQOL) in subjects with complete unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) and moderate-to-severe maxillary deficiency. METHODS A longitudinal observational study was conducted with a sample of 20 patients (13 males, 7 females) aged 10-14 years (mean age, 11.8 years) with Goslon 3, 4, and 5. To assess the patient's perception of their OHRQOL, the Quality of Life Questionnaire for Orthosurgical Patients was administered in 2 stages: after the installation of the protraction plates (T1) and 18 months after the protraction therapy started (T2). The questionnaire was composed of 4 domains, distributed over 22 questions: social aspects, facial esthetics, oral function, and awareness of facial deformity. RESULTS The treatment protocol improved the OHRQOL in 75% of the patients who presented UCLP. The domain social aspects of the deformity were the only one that showed a significant difference from T1 to T2 and indicated an improvement in self-esteem. The girls had worse OHRQOL than boys at T1, which was statistically significant only for the domains of social aspects of deformity and awareness of deformity. After BAMP therapy, the effect size indicated a larger change in OHRQOL in girls than in boys. CONCLUSIONS BAMP therapy positively impacted the OHRQOL and self-esteem of patients with UCLP during adolescence.

Planning the Future Oral Health Workforce: A Rapid Review of Supply, Demand and Need Models, Data Sources and Skill Mix Considerations. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2021; 18:ijerph18062891. [PMID: 33808981 PMCID: PMC7999471 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph18062891] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/19/2021] [Revised: 03/08/2021] [Accepted: 03/09/2021] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
Over the last decade, there has been a renewed interest in oral health workforce planning. The purpose of this review is to examine oral health workforce planning models on supply, demand and needs, mainly in respect to their data sources, modelling technique and use of skill mix. A limited search was carried out on PubMed and Web of Science for published scientific articles on oral health workforce planning models between 2010 to 2020. No restrictions were placed on the type of modelling philosophy, and all studies including supply, demand or needs based models were included. Rapid review methods guided the review process. Twenty-three studies from 15 countries were included in the review. A majority were from high-income countries (n = 17). Dentists were the sole oral health workforce group modelled in 13 studies; only five studies included skill mix (allied dental personnel) considerations. The most common application of modelling was a workforce to population ratio or a needs-based demand weighted variant. Nearly all studies presented weaknesses in modelling process due to the limitations in data sources and/or non-availability of the necessary data to inform oral health workforce planning. Skill mix considerations in planning models were also limited to horizontal integration within oral health professionals. Planning for the future oral health workforce is heavily reliant on quality data being available for supply, demand and needs models. Integrated methodologies that expand skill mix considerations and account for uncertainty are essential for future planning exercises.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate how mechanical force affects the proliferation of human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs). METHODS CCK-8 assays and staining of ki67 were performed to evaluate hPDLSCs proliferation. qRT-PCR, ELISA, or Western blot analysis were used to measure the expression levels of interleukin (IL)-6, miR-31 host gene (MIR31HG), DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1), and DNA methyltransferase 3B (DNMT3B). Dual-luciferase reporter assays and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays were conducted to determine whether MIR31HG was targeted by DNMT1 and DNMT3B. MassARRAY mass spectrometry was used to quantify DNA methylation levels of the MIR31HG promoter. RESULTS Mechanical force inhibited hPDLSCs proliferation with the downregulation of MIR31HG and upregulation of IL-6, DNMT1 and DNMT3B. Knockdown of MIR31HG suppressed hPDLSCs proliferation, and knockdown of DNMT1 or DNMT3B reversed mechanical force-induced downregulation of MIR31HG. Dual-luciferase and ChIP assays revealed DNMT1 and DNMT3B bound MIR31HG promoter in the region 1,015 bp upstream of the transcriptional start site. Treatment with 5'-aca-2'-deoxycytidine downregulated DNA methylation level in MIR31HG gene promoter, while mechanical force promoted the methylation of MIR31HG gene promoter. CONCLUSIONS These findings elucidated how mechanical force affects proliferation via MIR31HG in hPDLSCs, providing clues for possible MIR31HG-based orthodontic therapeutic approaches.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Planning the health-care workforce required to meet the health needs of the population, while providing service levels that maximize the outcome and minimize the financial costs, is a complex task. The problem can be described as assessing the right number of people with the right skills in the right place at the right time, to provide the right services to the right people. The literature available on the subject is vast but sparse, with no consensus established on a definite methodology and technique, making it difficult for the analyst or policy maker to adopt the recent developments or for the academic researcher to improve such a critical field. METHODS We revisited more than 60 years of documented research to better understand the chronological and historical evolution of the area and the methodologies that have stood the test of time. The literature review was conducted in electronic publication databases and focuses on conceptual methodologies rather than techniques. RESULTS Four different and widely used approaches were found within the scope of supply and three within demand. We elaborated a map systematizing advantages, limitations and assumptions. Moreover, we provide a list of the data requirements necessary to implement each of the methodologies. We have also identified past and current trends in the field and elaborated a proposal on how to integrate the different methodologies. CONCLUSION Methodologies abound, but there is still no definite approach to address HHR planning. Recent literature suggests that an integrated approach is the way to solve such a complex problem, as it combines elements both from supply and demand, and more effort should be put in improving that proposal.

Treatment needs and skill mix workforce requirements for prosthodontic care: a comparison of estimates using normative and sociodental approaches. BMC Oral Health 2015; 15:36. [PMID: 25887142 PMCID: PMC4367907 DOI: 10.1186/s12903-015-0015-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/06/2014] [Accepted: 02/19/2015] [Indexed: 12/05/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The traditional measure for assessing dental treatment needs and workforce requirements based solely on normative need (NN) has major shortcomings. The sociodental approach (SDA) to assess needs overcomes some of the shortcomings as it combines normative and subjective needs assessments and also incorporates behavioural propensity (Sheiham and Tsakos 2007). The objective of this study was to estimate and compare prosthodontic treatment needs and workforce requirements, using the normative and the sociodental approaches for different skill mix models. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted on 732 university employees aged 30–54 years. Normative prosthodontic need was assessed using the WHO (1997) method. The SDA includes NN and also considers oral impacts, measured through the OIDP index, and behavioural propensity. Estimates of prosthodontic need and dental workforce requirements using the two methods were compared using McNemar and Wilcoxon Signed Rank test respectively. The dental workforce required for prosthodontic treatment based on NN and SDA approaches were then compared using different workforce skill mix models. Results The proportion of subjects needing prosthodontic treatment was lower by more than 90% when the SDA was used compared to NN. The number of dentists required for prosthodontic treatment per 100,000 people were 98.8 using NN compared to 2.49 using SDA. Using a skill mix approach, the requirements for dentists per 100,000 people decreased slightly when more denture procedures were delegated to dental therapists. Conclusion There were very much lower levels of prosthodontic treatment needs and workforce requirements when using the sociodental approach compared to normative methods.

Abstract
To investigate the relationship between oral health measures and oral health-related quality of life using the Child-Oral Impact on Daily Performance index among school children of Modinagar. A cross-sectional analytical study was conducted on 900 school children aged 12 and 15 years in Modinagar, India. Children were interviewed about sociodental impacts on quality of life and examined for their normative treatment need for dental caries, traumatic dental injuries, and dentofacial anomalies. Frequency distributions for bivariate analysis and logistic regression for multivariate analysis were used for statistical analysis. Prevalence of oral impacts was high (60%), with a mean score of 2.49 ± 3.92. A significant association (P ≤ .05) was observed in oral impacts on daily performances with age, presence of dental caries, traumatic injuries, and dentofacial anomalies score. A strong association between clinical dental indicators and oral impacts in children showed eating followed by cleaning of teeth and smiling as the most commonly affected daily performances.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe the working patterns, training experiences, estimated size, and future training needs of the workforce of professionals complementary to dentistry in the general dental service in an English region. METHODS Postal questionnaire of NHS dental practices in the South West of England. RESULTS The response rate was 65%. There was an average of two whole time equivalent (wte) dentists working per practice. Dentists work a mean 0.8 wte per practice. Sixty per cent of practice time is NHS. Vacancies existed for 120 dentists (98 wte) with reported difficulties in recruitment. There was an average of 1.25 wte dental nurses per dentist with 44% of nurses working part-time. A quarter of nurses' time is on non-clinical duties. The turnover rate for nurses was between 13% and 26%, with recruitment difficulties. Approximately 50% of nurses do not have a professional qualification. There is variation between health authorities in proportions of qualified nurses. Hygienists are employed in 72% of practices, but only 20% of their work is NHS. Dentists have favourable attitudes to an expansion in the employment and training of professionals complementary to dentistry. CONCLUSIONS There are problems with recruitment and retention of all categories of the dental workforce in the GDS, particularly in rural areas. There is a large unmet need for pre- and post-qualification training for professionals complementary to dentistry compounded by marked inequalities in access to training.

Abstract
Dental human health resource planning (DHHRP), or manpower planning in Mexico has been plagued by fundamental contradictions. In spite of having trained a great many dentists in the past two decades, the dental health status of the population has not significantly improved. Concurrently, the relative scarcity of patients in relation to the number of practising dentists seems to be more marked, a critical issue since most dental care is delivered under private schemes. In the present investigation, 196 practising dentists in Mexico City were interviewed to establish their knowledge and opinions about DHHRP, and their views about the introduction of innovative alternatives in transforming, evaluating and planning human health resources. Concerns were: a need to examine and re-define the aims, skill content and marketability of professional training in professional practice; a lack of consensus as to how this is to be achieved; and a degree of awareness that professional practice has a limited scope in meeting the challenge of providing adequate care because of maldistribution of dentists and of limited financial resources of patients.
