Book excerpt: Purpose: The purpose of this retrospective study is to utilize data from the Nationwide Children’s Hospital electronic health record to relate behavior at initial early child dental visits and future behavioral health diagnoses. Methods: This retrospective study used electronic health records of ASA I and II children who had their first dental visit (FDV) between the ages of 3-5 years at the Department of Dentistry at Nationwide Children’s Hospital and had no behavioral health diagnosis at that time and who were 8-10 years of age at the time of the chart review. Frankl behavior rating scale scores at the initial dental visit were correlated with presence/absence of a behavioral health diagnosis (BHD) and its type, including ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, speech delay, and developmental delay. A total of 408 patients met the inclusion criteria. An age- and gender-matched group with early dental visits and behavioral scores who were ages 8-10 years of age at the time of the chart review served as controls. Results: 408 patient charts met the inclusion criteria. 70.6% of the sample was male, while 29.4% of the sample was female. The most common BHD encountered was ADHD (N=265), followed by speech delay (N=98), autism spectrum disorder (N=35), and developmental delay (N=10). There was no difference in Frankl score at initial dental visit between the study group and the control group (a=0.08). There was a statistical difference of Frankl score between the diagnosis groups (a=0.0007). Patients without BHDs were more likely to have dental treatment iii needs than those with BHDs (a=0.01). Patients who received a BHD at an earlier age were more likely to have dental treatment needs (a=0.03). As age at FDV increased, Frankl score at FDV also increased (a=0.01). The use of restraint for dental treatment declined as age at FDV increased (a=0.0001). Patients who were younger at FDV were less likely to have dental treatment needs (a

This book was released on 2017 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dental caries is one of the most common chronic disease in children and continues to be a significant global public health concern. Evidence indicates that chronic diseases, and adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), have destructive impacts on overall quality of life, health outcomes, and health care expenditures. The ACE investigation identified cumulative dose-response relationships between ACEs and development of diverse health and social consequences later in life. Research is scarce on investigating causal pathways to facilitate contextualized public health interventions addressing this seismic threat. Data was utilized from the 2011-2012 National Survey of Children's Health, inclusive of ages 1-17 for dentate status. The dependent variables identified untreated oral health care needs and preventive dental utilization. The key independent variable, ACEs, included exposure to parental death, parental divorce, parental incarceration, mental health illnesses, domestic violence, neighborhood violence, and racial discrimination. Exogenous variables included age, sex, race/ethnicity, number of children in household, socioeconomic status proxies, health insurance status, and presence of special health care needs. Path analysis, a special subcomponent of structural equation modeling was utilized to explore direct, indirect, and mediating causal pathways. The data, when adjusted for complex survey design, proportionately represents children in the United States. The results of the adjusted logistic regressions revealed ACEs demonstrating varying magnitudes of significance across diverse racial and ethnic profiles. Exposures to parental divorce and parental death particularly exhibited critical magnitudes of influence. Adjusted path analyses demonstrated alternative family structures contributing a mediating role between ACEs and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL). In keeping with the Pareto Principle, exposure to certain ACEs, namely parental divorce and parental death, potentially introduces more profound social and health-related consequences later in life. Moreover, invocation of Occam's razor, can assist in theorizing that exposure to alternative family structures (i.e. via parental divorce and/or parental death) initiate a concatenated deteriorating domino effect sequela of secondary ACEs. Therefore, contextualized interventions should prioritize psychotherapeutic child, marriage, and family counseling services improving the home, as an enabling environment, to potentially minimize detriments of ACEs on OHRQoL.

Abstract: Abstract of thesis entitled CHANGES IN CHILDREN'S ORAL HEALTH RELATED QUALITY OF LIFE FOLLOWING ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT Submitted by ZHANG MAN For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Hong Kong in September 2007 Malocclusion is a common oral disorder and the demand for orthodontic care is increasing among children. There is a dearth of information as to how malocclusion and its treatment impacts on the life quality of children, which has obvious implications in assessing orthodontic treatment need and evaluating outcomes from orthodontic care. This prospective longitudinal study was conducted to identify associations between orthodontic treatment need and child oral health-related quality of life (COHQoL); to determine the level of agreement between parents' and children's perceptions of COHQoL; to determine changes in COHQoL as a result of undergoing fixed orthodontic appliance therapy and to determine changes in COHQoL following orthodontic treatment. Children (aged 11-14) seeking orthodontic treatment were recruited in this study and followed-up over a three year period. Children's parents were also recruited at baseline. Children self-completed the Child Perceptions Questionnaire (CPQ) at baseline (pre-treatment status and expectations of treatment), during orthodontic treatment (at one week, one month, three months, six months, twelve months, and eighteen months after insertion of fixed appliance), and 6-months post-treatment. Their parents completed the Parental Perception Questionnaire (PPQ) and Family Impact scale (FIS) prior to treatment. Children's pretreatment occlusal models were assessed by three commonly used occlusal indices: Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need (IOTN) including Aesthetic Components (AC) and Dental Health Components (DHC), Index of Complexity, Outcome and Need (ICON) and the Dental Aesthetic Index (DAI). Improvements in occlusion following orthodontic treatment was determined by assessing differences in ICON scores obtained from pre- and post- treatment orthodontic casts. CPQ scores and AC scores were significant correlated (r=0.27, p0.05). FIS scores were significantly correlated with scores of ICON (r= 0.26, pDuring orthodontic treatment significant changes in CPQ scores occurred (pThere was significant reduction in CPQ scores 6-months following orthodontic treatment compared to pre-treatment (p0.05). Perceived improvement in oral health was associated with improvement in COHQoL (reduction in CPQ scores) a

This book was released on 2016 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: Poor oral health is linked to poor quality of life, chronic disease, infant mortality, poor school and work performance, low self-esteem, risky social behaviors, and increased national health expenditures. Most oral diseases are preventable, but still common. Early Childhood Caries (ECC), the most common childhood disease, is linked to periodontal disease, poor academic performance, and increased likelihood of chronic disease in adulthood and poor quality of life for the children who are affected and their families. ECC disproportionately affects low-income and minority children. Head Start is a federal preschool program aimed to identify and provide support for low-income children and their families. Due to the federal mandates for Head Start grantees, children participating in these programs are in a position to receive increased access to dental care through oral screenings and referrals to dentists for oral health treatment. Studies have shown that Head Start enrollees are almost three times more likely to obtain a dental screening than those enrolled in other preschool centers. Even with these parameters in place, a great amount of tooth decay is still present in Head Start children. In a brief issued by the Children's Dental Health Project, "Keeping Health in Head Start: Lessons Learned from Dental Care", one of the key lessons was Medicaid dental benefits are important in granting access to dental care for Head Start children, however it is not enough. In order for Medicaid benefits have a major impact, dental professionals must accept the coverage, and the Head Start community must have knowledge of those that can and will provide services to their children. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to 1) examine the oral health status of low-income children in MS Head Start Programs and 2) evaluate linkage to care between the HSFs and the referral dentists, and 3) identify opportunities for Head Start children to find a dental home. This study uses descriptive and inferential statistical methods to test the objectives, hypothesis and specific aims outlined below: Methods: The study used the oral screening data and parental survey data from the Mississippi State Department of Health's Make a Child's Smile Program for the time period 2009-2014, Medicaid reimbursement data for children's dental claims, and licensure data from the Mississippi Board of Dental Examiners. Spatial attributes such as the location of the Head Start Facilities, service locations of referral dentists named in the MACS dataset, other non-referred dental service locations that have filed children's dental Medicaid claims, and calculated distances from Head Start facilities to the aforementioned dental service locations were compiled and analyzed. This information was used to examine the dental workforce available to the Head Start Facilities in the study sample. Both traditional statistical tests and spatial analysis were used to analyze data and create a visualization of the oral health landscape for low-income children in MS. Results: The sample was majority African American, between the ages of 3 and 5 years of age, displaying a burden of caries experience and untreated diseases significantly higher than the reported national percentages, (p

This book was released on 2012-01-22 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Access to oral health care is essential to promoting and maintaining overall health and well-being, yet only half of the population visits a dentist each year. Poor and minority children are less likely to have access to oral health care than are their nonpoor and nonminority peers. Older adults, people who live in rural areas, and disabled individuals, uniformly confront access barriers, regardless of their financial resources. The consequences of these disparities in access to oral health care can lead to a number of conditions including malnutrition, childhood speech problems, infections, diabetes, heart disease, and premature births. Improving Access to Oral Health Care for Vulnerable and Underserved Populations examines the scope and consequences of inadequate access to oral health services in the United States and recommends ways to combat the economic, structural, geographic, and cultural factors that prevent access to regular, quality care. The report suggests changing funding and reimbursement for dental care; expanding the oral health work force by training doctors, nurses, and other nondental professionals to recognize risk for oral diseases; and revamping regulatory, educational, and administrative practices. It also recommends changes to incorporate oral health care into overall health care. These recommendations support the creation of a diverse workforce that is competent, compensated, and authorized to serve vulnerable and underserved populations across the life cycle. The recommendations provided in Improving Access to Oral Health Care for Vulnerable and Underserved Populations will help direct the efforts of federal, state, and local government agencies; policy makers; health professionals in all fields; private and public health organizations; licensing and accreditation bodies; educational institutions; health care researchers; and philanthropic and advocacy organizations.

This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Objectives: This study explores the association between fluoride varnish (FV) application delivered through Quality Improvement (QI) initiatives in the primary care setting on dental outcomes among children. Methods: We obtained administrative and procedure claims from 2015 to 2019 for children ages 1 to 5 years old in a cohort of Ohio Medicaid beneficiaries. Multivariable logistic and poisson regression analyses were performed to compare dental utilization rates and expenditures among children who received FV from a QI-participating medical provider, a non-QI-participating medical provider, a dental provider, and children who did not receive FV. Results: Among 98,001 children, most were male (51.1%), white (50.5%), qualified for Medicaid by income-based criteria (98.8%), and lived in a metropolitan area (71.1%). Children in the QI group had a significantly higher incidence of preventive dental visits than the dental (IRR=0.93, 95% CI: 0.91 to 0.96) or non-QI groups (IRR=0.86, 95% CI: 0.84 to 0.88). Compared to the QI group, children in the non-QI and dental groups were significantly more likely to have caries-related treatment visits (aOR=2.6, 95% CI: 2.4 to 2.9; aOR=2.9, 95% CI: 2.6 to 3.3, respectively). Children in the dental group were significantly more likely to have dental treatment under general anesthesia (GA) than the QI group (aOR=5.3, 95% CI: 2.0 to 14.4). Conclusions: Children seen at medical practices participating in QI activities around FV application appear to have increased uptake of preventive dental services, which may account for the observed lower incidence of visits for dental caries and dental treatment requiring GA.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to assess the baseline oral health quality of life of high-risk children and examine differences in oral health quality of life according to the child's treatment needs at an oral screening exam. We hypothesized that a child's oral health related Quality of Life (QOL) would be correlated with dental treatment needs. This study was a cross-sectional design with subjects who were 8-14 year old patients of Virginia Commonwealth University and/or members of the Boys and Girls Club of Metro Richmond. The oral health quality of life was measured using the Child Perception Questionnaire (CPQ). It is a multidimensional scale that includes items concerning functional aspects including oral pain and discomfort, but also includes psychological and social aspects. The four domains tested are: oral symptoms, functional limitations, emotional well-being and social well-being. The children were asked to report on these domains as they related to their oral health in the past 3 months. The dental treatment needs of the children were categorized as (0) no future needs, or (1) restorative or orthodontic needs. Those with no future needs were scheduled for a 6 months periodic exam and prophylaxis (cleaning). The children in need of restorative treatment were scheduled for such (restorations, stainless steel crowns, extractions), and those in need of orthodontics were referred for consult to an orthodontist. The final sample population consisted of 107 children, predominately African American (84%). The intra-oral screenings revealed 75% of children required future dental treatment, specifically 84% restorative and 12% orthodontic work and 25% in need of preventative recall (cleaning and exam at 6 months). Overall, children reported high levels of oral health quality of life. When asked about the overall health of their teeth, lips, jaws and mouth, 39 % (n=42) reported excellent or very good, 50% (n=53) reported good, and 9% (n=10) reported fair or poor. When asked how "overall life" was affected by oral health, 72% (n=77) reported very little or not at all, 13% (n=14) reported some, and 15% (n=16) reported a lot or very much. There were no significant correlations between the oral health quality of life domains and the children's dental treatment needs.
