Introduction: With evidence suggesting that dental hygienists (DH) and dental therapists (DThs) can undertake a significant proportion of routine clinical work, this paper explores the number of recent graduates and students currently in training in the UK and Ireland and considers whether there are sufficient DH and DTh registrants to positively impact on population needs.

Methods: An online questionnaire survey was distributed by the Directors of Dental Hygiene and Therapy Group to all programme leads of dental hygiene and dental therapy programmes during December 2023.

Results: There was a 100% response rate. The majority of programmes award a Bachelor's degree, with a minority offering a Diploma or Foundation degree; one programme awards an MSc level qualification. The number of graduates in the 2022-2023 academic year was 429, registered with both the General Dental Council (GDC) and Dental Council of Ireland (DCI). The numbers of DH students expected to graduate in 2023-2024 academic year is likely to increase by 44% and in 2024-2025 this will increase by a further 12% compared to the previous year. The anticipated numbers of DTh graduates registering across the UK in 2023-2024 academic year is 312, representing in a slight decrease of 3% from the previous year; in 2024-2025 this figure is expected to remain static at 313.

Conclusions: The results of this study demonstrate the numbers of students recently graduated and in training in the UK and Ireland, during 2022-2025. The numbers of registrants is slightly increasing, but there is a need for detailed information regarding working practices to inform future workforce planning; this will inform the need for increasing training numbers.

引言:有证据表明,牙科卫生师(DH)和牙科治疗师(DThs)可以承担很大一部分常规临床工作,本文探讨了英国和爱尔兰目前正在接受培训的应届毕业生和在校生的数量,并考虑是否有足够的DH和DTh注册人员对人口需求产生积极影响:方法:2023年12月,牙科卫生与治疗主任小组向所有牙科卫生与牙科治疗课程的负责人发放了一份在线问卷调查:结果:回复率为100%。大多数课程授予学士学位,少数课程授予文凭或预科学位;一个课程授予理学硕士学位。2022-2023学年的毕业生人数为429人,分别在牙科总理事会(GDC)和爱尔兰牙科理事会(DCI)注册。预计2023-2024学年毕业的牙科保健专业学生人数可能增加44%,2024-2025学年将比上一年再增加12%。预计 2023-2024 学年全英注册的 DTh 毕业生人数为 312 人,比上一年略微减少 3%;2024-2025 年这一数字预计将保持在 313.结论:本研究结果显示了 2022-2025 年期间英国和爱尔兰新近毕业和正在接受培训的学生人数。注册人数略有增加,但需要有关工作实践的详细信息,以便为未来的劳动力规划提供信息;这将为增加培训人数提供依据。

Objective: This study investigated oral health status in 60-year-old individuals over 12 years.

Materials and methods: Data were obtained from The Swedish National Study on Aging and Care (SNAC). One hundred nineteen 60-year-old individuals (48% females) underwent a clinical and radiographic baseline examination (2001-2003) and follow-up examination in 2013-2015. For statistical analyses, paired t-tests and McNemar's test were performed. Statistical significance was determined at p < 0.05.

Results: At the 12-year follow-up, the mean number of teeth and the proportion of individuals having ≥ 20 teeth decreased (p < 0.001). The mean number of teeth with buccal/lingual and approximal caries lesions increased (p < 0.029 and p < 0.031). Individuals with a distance from the cement-enamel junction to the bone of ≥ 5 mm increased in total (p < 0.002) and in males (p < 0.006). The prevalence of gingivitis increased in total (p < 0.001). The prevalence of periodontitis showed a significant increase in total (p < 0.043) and in females (p < 0.039).

Conclusion: The present study indicates that oral health status in 60-year-old individuals deteriorates over 12 years. However, the deteriorations were minor in terms of tooth loss, caries lesions, and changes in periodontal status.

Introduction: Large language models such as Gemini, GPT-3.5, and GPT-4 have demonstrated significant potential in the medical field. Their performance in medical licensing examinations globally has highlighted their capabilities in understanding and processing specialized medical knowledge. This study aimed to evaluate and compare the performance of Gemini, GPT-3.5, and GPT-4 in the Korean National Dental Hygienist Examination. The accuracy of answering the examination questions in both Korean and English was assessed.

Methods: This study used a dataset comprising questions from the Korean National Dental Hygienist Examination over 5 years (2019-2023). A two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) test was employed to investigate the impacts of model type and language on the accuracy of the responses. Questions were input into each model under standardized conditions, and responses were classified as correct or incorrect based on predefined criteria.

Results: GPT-4 consistently outperformed the other models, achieving the highest accuracy rates across both language versions annually. In particular, it showed superior performance in English, suggesting advancements in its training algorithms for language processing. However, all models demonstrated variable accuracies in subjects with localized characteristics, such as health and medical law.

Conclusions: These findings indicate that GPT-4 holds significant promise for application in medical education and standardized testing, especially in English. However, the variability in performance across different subjects and languages underscores the need for ongoing improvements and the inclusion of more diverse and localized training datasets to enhance the models' effectiveness in multilingual and multicultural contexts.

导言:Gemini、GPT-3.5 和 GPT-4 等大型语言模型已在医学领域展现出巨大潜力。它们在全球医疗执照考试中的表现突显了它们在理解和处理专业医学知识方面的能力。本研究旨在评估和比较 Gemini、GPT-3.5 和 GPT-4 在韩国全国牙科保健师考试中的表现。研究还评估了用韩语和英语回答考题的准确性:本研究使用的数据集包括 5 年内(2019-2023 年)韩国国家牙科保健师考试的试题。采用双向方差分析(ANOVA)测试来研究模型类型和语言对答题准确性的影响。在标准化条件下将问题输入每个模型,并根据预定标准将回答分为正确或错误:结果:GPT-4 的表现一直优于其他模型,在每年的两个语言版本中都达到了最高的准确率。特别是,它在英语方面的表现更为出色,这表明其语言处理训练算法取得了进步。不过,所有模型在具有本地化特征的受试者(如卫生和医疗法律)中都表现出了不同的准确率:这些研究结果表明,GPT-4 在医学教育和标准化测试中的应用前景广阔,尤其是在英语方面。然而,在不同科目和语言中的表现差异突出表明,需要不断改进并纳入更多样化和本地化的训练数据集,以提高模型在多语言和多文化背景下的有效性。

Objective: To describe participants' experiences of being treated for peri-implant mucositis.

Methods: A qualitative study with nine individual, semistructured interviews was performed. The interview guide was based on a focus group interview. The participants had recently been treated for peri-implant mucositis on one dental implant in a randomised controlled trial (RCT). The treatment included information, oral hygiene instructions, nonsurgical treatment with Er:YAG laser or ultrasonic scaler and professional cleaning in several sessions over 6 months. The interviews performed were analysed using qualitative manifest and latent content analysis.

Results: The manifest results showed that learning how to brush the teeth, and repeated feedback, was appreciated, and increased the motivation to improve oral hygiene habits. Most participants experienced no discomfort from the treatment. The participants had an understanding that a longer treatment time was required to ensure the quality of the treatment. Respect and attention were important elements of the personal treatment. The latent results suggest that treatment with a laser or an ultrasonic scaler was not perceived as the most important part of the treatment. Participants felt that receiving information about the treatment process was more important; moreover, a person-centred approach gave a feeling of good and safe care.

Conclusions: The present study highlights factors of importance in treatment of peri-implant mucositis with laser and ultrasonic scaler. A person-centred approach with respect and attention is important for a good and safe experience and may be important factors in future treatments.

目的:描述参与者接受种植体周围粘膜炎治疗的经历:描述参与者接受种植体周围粘膜炎治疗的经历:进行了一项定性研究,共进行了九次个人半结构式访谈。访谈指南以焦点小组访谈为基础。参与者最近在一项随机对照试验(RCT)中接受了种植体周围粘膜炎的治疗。治疗包括提供信息、口腔卫生指导、使用 Er:YAG 激光或超声波洁牙器进行非手术治疗,以及在 6 个月内分几次进行专业清洁。采用定性显性和隐性内容分析法对所进行的访谈进行了分析:显性结果显示,学习如何刷牙和反复的反馈得到了赞赏,并增强了改善口腔卫生习惯的动力。大多数参与者在治疗过程中没有感到不适。参与者理解,为确保治疗质量,需要较长的治疗时间。尊重和关注是个人治疗的重要因素。潜在结果表明,使用激光或超声波洁牙机进行治疗并不是治疗中最重要的部分。参与者认为,获得有关治疗过程的信息更为重要;此外,以人为本的方法给人一种良好、安全的护理感觉:本研究强调了使用激光和超声波洁牙机治疗种植体周围粘膜炎的重要因素。以人为本的方法、尊重和关注对于获得良好和安全的体验非常重要,这可能是未来治疗的重要因素。

Objectives: The objective of this study was to investigate the correlations between salivary physicochemical parameters, adiposity, and caries indices in Hong Kong adolescents.

Methods: A total of 921 adolescents aged 12-15 years from four randomly selected local secondary schools were invited to participate in this cross-sectional study. Dental examinations including the number of decayed, missing, and filled teeth (DMFT), salivary physicochemical parameters, and anthropometric measurements were performed. The Mann-Whitney U test was used to examine the differences in salivary parameters and adiposity indices between participants with different levels of caries experience. Correlations between adiposity indices, salivary parameters, and caries indices were examined using Spearman's correlation coefficients.

Results: The participation rate was 83.6%. After exclusion, data from 695 adolescents were analysed. Adolescents with high caries experience (DMFT ≥ Significant Caries Index [SiC Index]) had significantly higher weight-to-height ratio (W/H) and waist circumference (WC) z-scores and lower unstimulated and stimulated salivary flow rates and buffering capacity than those with DMFT < SiC Index. Except for body mass index z-score, the other adiposity indices were negatively correlated with at least one salivary physicochemical parameter (stimulated salivary flow rate or salivary buffering capacity) (rs ranged from -0.078 to -0.132). After adjusting for age and sex, decreased stimulated salivary flow rate was associated with higher body fat percentages, WC, and waist-to-height ratio z-scores, whereas low salivary buffering capacity was associated with higher W/H and WC z-scores.

Conclusion: There is a potential link between adiposity indices and certain salivary physicochemical parameters that are implicated in the aetiology of dental caries.

Objectives: For the dental hygiene profession, a need exists to engage students in research experiences as undergraduate students to foster interest in research and improve the implementation of evidence-based practice. The purpose was to explore the relationships between original research experiences and evidence-based practice among undergraduate dental hygiene students.

Methods: This quantitative survey research study of undergraduate dental hygiene students in the USA was conducted in 2021. Original research experience was measured using the Wessex Research Network (WReN) spider instrument and evidence-based practice was measured using the Knowledge, Attitudes, Access and Confidence Evaluation (KACE) instrument. Invitation e-mails were sent to the directors of US entry-level dental hygiene programs to forward the survey e-mail message to students in the last semester of their dental hygiene programs. The data were analysed using descriptive statistics, bivariate analysis and multiple linear regression analysis.

Results: A total of 128 responses were analysed. The foundational knowledge domain of research experience was found to be a significant predictor of evidence-based practice and the mediators of evidence-based knowledge, evidence-based attitudes, evidence-based access and evidence-based confidence.

Conclusion: Research experience was found to be a significant predictor of Evidence-Based Practice. Engaging undergraduate dental hygiene students in research opportunities may prepare students for the clinical application of evidence-based practice and original research projects.

目标:对于口腔卫生专业来说,需要让学生在本科生阶段就参与研究经历,以培养研究兴趣并改善循证实践的实施。目的是探索牙科卫生学本科生的原始研究经历与循证实践之间的关系:这项针对美国口腔卫生专业本科生的定量调查研究于 2021 年进行。原始研究经历使用威塞克斯研究网络(WReN)蜘蛛工具进行测量,循证实践使用知识、态度、机会和信心评估(KACE)工具进行测量。我们向美国入门级口腔卫生专业的主任发送了邀请邮件,请他们将调查邮件转发给口腔卫生专业最后一个学期的学生。采用描述性统计、双变量分析和多元线性回归分析对数据进行了分析:共分析了 128 份回复。研究经验这一基础知识领域被认为是循证实践的重要预测因素,而循证知识、循证态度、循证途径和循证信心则是其中介因素:结论:研究经验是循证实践的重要预测因素。让口腔卫生专业的本科生参与研究机会可以让学生为循证实践和原创研究项目的临床应用做好准备。

Aim: The primary aim was to systematically assess the available literature on the effect of an essential oils mouthwash without alcohol (EOalc-) compared to an essential oils mouthwash with alcohol (EOalc+) on plaque scores and parameters of gingival health. The secondary aim was to evaluate user appreciation.

Materials and methods: The MEDLINE-PubMed and Cochrane-CENTRAL databases were searched to identify eligible studies published up to and including March 2024. Papers comparing the effectiveness of EOalc- and EOalc+ were included. The quality was assessed. A descriptive analysis and a meta-analysis were performed.

Results: After screening, seven papers were found to be eligible. The descriptive analysis demonstrates a significant difference in plaque scores in favour of EOalc+. This is confirmed by the meta-analyses of plaque scores in non-brushing and brushing studies (DiffM = 0.40; 95% CI [0.27; 0.53], p < 0.00001 and DiffM = 0.05; 95% CI [0.01; 0.10], p = 0.01, respectively). This finding is also supported by the sub-analysis of brands. The meta-analyses of bleeding and gingival scores in brushing studies did not show significant differences between products. For user appreciation, the difference found was for taste perception in favour of EOalc- (DiffM = 1.63; 95% CI [0.72; 2.55], p = 0.0004).

Conclusion: When an EO-mouthwash is used in non-brushing or brushing situations, with small to moderate certainty, EOalc- provided less effect regarding plaque control than EOalc+. For bleeding and gingival index there is weak certainty for no difference. In terms of the taste perception EOalc- seems more appreciated.

目的:主要目的是系统评估现有文献中关于不含酒精的精油漱口水(EOalc-)与含酒精的精油漱口水(EOalc+)对牙菌斑评分和牙龈健康参数的影响。次要目的是评估用户的评价:对 MEDLINE-PubMed 和 Cochrane-CENTRAL 数据库进行了检索,以确定在 2024 年 3 月(含)之前发表的符合条件的研究。纳入了比较 EOalc- 和 EOalc+ 的有效性的论文。对研究质量进行了评估。进行了描述性分析和荟萃分析:经过筛选,发现七篇论文符合条件。描述性分析表明,EOalc+在斑块评分上有显著差异。对不刷牙和刷牙研究中的牙菌斑评分进行的荟萃分析也证实了这一点(DiffM = 0.40; 95% CI [0.27; 0.53], p):在不刷牙或刷牙的情况下使用环氧乙烷漱口水时,在小到中等程度的确定性上,环氧乙烷漱口水对牙菌斑控制的效果不如环氧乙烷漱口水+。在出血和牙龈指数方面,没有差异的可能性很小。就口感而言,EOalc- 似乎更受欢迎。

Aim: To assess user perceptions of different commercially available fluoride mouthwashes (FL-MWs).

Methods: A single-blind, randomized clinical trial was conducted. Participants were randomly assigned to a sequence of six different FL-MWs, one of which contained alcohol. For each visit, participants rinsed with one specific mouthwash (15 mL) for 30 s. After rinsing, participants completed a questionnaire with a visual analogue scale. Questions focused on overall taste, mild/pungent feeling, taste duration, foaming effect, burning sensation, sensitivity, numbness, dryness, rinsing time, smell, and colour of the mouthwashes. Descriptive analyses and statistical tests regarding differences among and between the mouthwashes were performed.

Results: Overall, 53 participants completed the study protocol, including nine who did, however, not rinse with the alcohol-containing mouthwash due to religious reasons. Among the mouthwashes, significant differences were found for foaming effect, sensitivity, rinsing time, smell, and colour (p < 0.05). Pairwise comparison for smell did not reveal a difference, and foaming was within the acceptance range (low to medium foaming). Coloured mouthwashes were more appreciated than transparent solutions (p = 0.00). The mouthwash containing essential oils and alcohol produced significantly more sensitivity (p = 0.00) and, in general, participants experienced the rinsing time significantly longer (p < 0.05) compared to the non-alcohol-containing mouthwashes.

Conclusion: There is heterogeneity in user perceptions and preferences for FL-MWs, with a significant difference in foaming effect, sensitivity, rinsing time, smell, and colour. Coloured mouthwashes are preferred. The mouthwash containing essential oils and alcohol was less acceptable in relation to sensitivity and rinsing time.

目的:评估用户对不同市售含氟漱口水(FL-MWs)的看法:进行了一项单盲随机临床试验。参与者被随机分配到六种不同的含氟漱口水中,其中一种含酒精。每次,参与者使用一种特定的漱口水(15 毫升)漱口 30 秒。漱口后,参与者填写一份视觉模拟量表。问题主要涉及漱口水的总体味道、温和/刺激感、味道持续时间、起泡效果、灼烧感、敏感度、麻木感、干燥感、漱口时间、气味和颜色。对不同漱口水之间的差异进行了描述性分析和统计检验:共有 53 人完成了研究方案,其中 9 人因宗教原因没有使用含酒精的漱口水漱口。在漱口水中,起泡效果、敏感性、漱口时间、气味和颜色均存在显著差异(p 结论:漱口水的使用者感受存在差异:使用者对含氟漱口水的看法和偏好存在差异,在起泡效果、敏感性、漱口时间、气味和颜色方面差异显著。彩色漱口水是首选。含有精油和酒精的漱口水在敏感性和冲洗时间方面的接受度较低。

Background: Dental implant maintenance is crucial to obtain and maintain a healthy peri-implant situation. Although it is part of a dental hygienists (DH) scope of practice, the knowledge and common practices among DHs in the Netherlands are unclear.

Materials and methods: A web-based survey was distributed by the Dutch Association of DHs, by spreading survey QR codes and snowballing. The role of the different DH curricula 2- or 3-year diploma and a 4-year bachelor's degree is evaluated.

Results: In total, 165 (diploma: 73, bachelor: 92) DHs responded. Peri-implant diseases were well known (98%), indices and clinical symptoms were used to assess peri-implant tissues. A periodontal probe (97%) was used and bone loss was evaluated on radiographs (89%). Treatment was performed supra- and subgingivally (69%), mostly by titanium (45%) or plastic hand instruments (42%). Ultrasonic (52%) and air-abrasive (52%) devices were often used. The recall interval for maintenance was based on a risk-adjusted protocol (70%). DHs with a bachelor's received significantly more training compared to DHs with a diploma during primary education (p < 0.001). Diploma DHs mainly obtained their knowledge from continuing education (p = 0.04). In general, there was no significant difference in knowledge or common practices.

Conclusions: The primary education of DHs with a 2- or 3-year diploma and a 4-year bachelor's varies. Due to the continuing education of diploma DHs, knowledge and common practices generally do not differ. Most DHs in the Netherlands perform implant maintenance. A periodontal probe and radiographs are used for examination. Instrumentation is performed supra- and subgingivally, usually with titanium or plastic hand instruments. The recall interval is based on a patient's risk assessment.

背景:牙科种植体的维护对于获得和保持健康的种植体周围环境至关重要。虽然这是牙科保健师(DH)执业范围的一部分,但荷兰牙科保健师的知识和常见做法并不清楚:荷兰牙科保健师协会通过传播调查二维码和 "滚雪球 "的方式发布了一项网络调查。对不同的卫生保健课程(2 年或 3 年制文凭和 4 年制学士学位)的作用进行了评估:共有 165 名(文凭:73 名,学士:92 名)牙科医生参与了调查。种植体周围疾病已广为人知(98%),指数和临床症状被用于评估种植体周围组织。他们使用牙周探针(97%),并通过 X 光片评估骨质流失情况(89%)。治疗在龈上和龈下进行(69%),主要使用钛制器械(45%)或塑料手动器械(42%)。超声波(52%)和空气研磨(52%)器械也经常使用。维护保养的召回间隔是基于风险调整后的方案(70%)。拥有学士学位的保健医生与拥有文凭的保健医生相比,在初等教育阶段接受的培训要多得多(p 结论:拥有学士学位的保健医生与拥有文凭的保健医生相比,在初等教育阶段接受的培训要多得多:获得 2 年或 3 年文凭和 4 年学士学位的保健医生的初等教育各不相同。由于文凭牙科医生接受的是继续教育,因此他们的知识和常见做法一般没有差别。荷兰的大多数牙科医生都从事种植维护工作。检查时使用牙周探针和X光片。在龈上和龈下进行器械操作,通常使用钛制或塑料手动器械。召回间隔根据患者的风险评估而定。

Aim: To determine the efficacy of a water flosser (WF) compared to an interdental brush (IDB) in reducing gingival inflammation. Additionally, the products were compared on the incidence of gingival abrasion.

Methods: Young adults with moderate gingivitis and ≥4 accessible interdental spaces by IDB in each quadrant were selected for this study. Participants were randomly assigned a WF or an IDB as an adjunct to manual toothbrushing. Clinical signs of inflammation were measured in two randomly assigned contralateral quadrants by bleeding on pocket probing (BOPP) or bleeding on marginal probing (BOMP). Gingival Abrasion Score (GAS) was assessed per quadrant. Data was recorded at the baseline, 2 weeks and 4 weeks.

Results: Both groups WF (n = 40) and IDB (n = 38) showed a significant reduction (p = 0.000) in BOMP and BOPP from the baseline to 4 weeks for all sites and the interdental sites only. At 4 weeks the WF group compared to the IDB group showed significantly lower BOPP (p = 0.030) and BOMP scores (p = 0.003) for all sites. For the interdental sites WF showed compared to IDB for BOMP significant (p = 0.019) lower values but not for BOPP (p = 0.219). There were no differences between the groups for GAS at any time point.

Conclusion: In patients with moderate gingivitis, after 4 weeks use the WF is more effective than the IDB in obtaining marginal gingival health.

目的:确定水冲牙器(WF)与牙间刷(IDB)在减少牙龈炎症方面的功效。此外,还比较这两种产品在牙龈磨损发生率方面的效果:本研究选择了患有中度牙龈炎且每个象限的牙间刷可进入的牙间隙≥4个的年轻人。参与者被随机分配使用 WF 或 IDB 作为人工刷牙的辅助工具。在随机分配的两个对侧象限中,通过探诊袋出血(BOPP)或探诊边缘出血(BOMP)测量炎症的临床症状。每个象限评估牙龈磨损评分(GAS)。记录基线、2 周和 4 周时的数据:WF 组(n = 40)和 IDB 组(n = 38)从基线到 4 周,所有部位和仅牙间隙部位的 BOMP 和 BOPP 均显著减少(p = 0.000)。在 4 周时,WF 组与 IDB 组相比,所有部位的 BOPP(p = 0.030)和 BOMP(p = 0.003)得分都明显降低。在牙间部位,WF 组与 IDB 组相比,BOMP 值明显降低(p = 0.019),但 BOPP 值没有明显降低(p = 0.219)。各组在任何时间点的 GAS 值均无差异:结论:对于中度牙龈炎患者,使用 4 周后,WF 在获得边缘牙龈健康方面比 IDB 更有效。
