Using subjective oral health status indicators to screen for dental care needs in older adults

Community Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology
D Locker, A Jokovic

Abstract

A study was undertaken to assess the ability of a number of subjective oral health status indicators to identify community-dwelling older adults who need dental treatment. The indicators consisted of a single-item self-rating of treatment need, a 15-item psychosocial impact index and the 49-item Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP). Data for the study were collected as part of an oral health survey of Canadians aged 50 years and over. The associations between these subjective indicators and clinically defined dental treatment needs were assessed using statistics for determining the predictive power of a diagnostic test. Although there were statistically significant associations between the subjective and clinical measures, values for statistics such as sensitivity, positive predictive values and positive likelihood ratios were low. Although the measures did not perform well as screening tests, they did identify a sub-group of individuals whose clinical conditions impacted significantly on daily life and who would probably benefit the most from dental treatment. In this respect, the subjective measures assessed here can themselves be interpreted as indicators of need which complement conventional clinical measures of needs for dent...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
