Abstract

Aim: A healthy diet could help to prevent both oral and systemic diseases, with dentists and nutritionists supplementing their skills. The dental setting, where patients periodically refer to seeking oral health care, represents a powerful opportunity for nutritional counselling. To the best of our knowledge, no study is available on patients' attitudes towards dietary counselling in the dental setting. This cross-sectional study investigates patients' attitude towards receiving nutritional support within the dental setting and it elucidates whether a transdisciplinary approach would be well accepted.

Materials and methods: A questionnaire was administered to patients attending three different clinics: a private clinic, a hospital dental clinic of the national healthcare system and the private dental practice within the same hospital.

Results: Three hundred thirteen questionnaires were collected. Most dental patients acknowledged receiving nutritional advice from both dentists and nutritionists. The nutritionist within the dental setting was positively perceived, providing useful advice to prevent oral and systemic diseases and also drawing up a diet with periodic follow-ups.

Discussion and conclusion: These findings support the positive attitude of patients towards receiving nutritional counselling within the dental setting. The dental clinics can be pivotal in oral and systemic disease screening and prevention and a multidisciplinary approach is highly encouraged.

关于牙科患者对营养咨询态度的调查。
目的:健康的饮食有助于预防口腔疾病和全身性疾病,牙医和营养师可以补充他们的技能。在牙科环境中,患者会定期转诊寻求口腔保健,这为营养咨询提供了有力的机会。据我们所知,目前还没有关于牙科环境中患者对饮食咨询态度的研究。这项横断面研究调查了患者对在牙科环境中接受营养支持的态度,并阐明了跨学科方法是否会被广泛接受:对在三家不同诊所就诊的患者进行了问卷调查:一家私人诊所、一家国家医疗系统的医院牙科诊所以及同一家医院的私人牙科诊所:结果:共收集到 313 份问卷。大多数牙科患者都承认接受过牙医和营养师的营养建议。牙科环境中的营养师提供了预防口腔和全身疾病的有用建议,还制定了定期跟踪的饮食方案,因此得到了积极的评价:这些研究结果表明,患者对在牙科环境中接受营养咨询持积极态度。牙科诊所在口腔和全身性疾病的筛查和预防方面可以发挥关键作用,我们非常鼓励采用多学科方法。
