Dental trauma has a high prevalence, with one in three preschool children sustaining a traumatic dental injury to the primary dentition and one in four school children to the permanent dentition.1 Primary care provides a first-line contact for paediatric patients accessing emergency care within England. General Dental Practitioners are often the first clinicians to see children after they have sustained dental trauma.2 Initial management can influence the long-term outcome for the teeth involved,3 and dental trauma can have life-long implications on quality of life.1 It is therefore important that the correct clinical care is provided at the first appointment, in a timely manner, with assessment made regarding the need for onward referral to a paediatric specialist.The primary care practice in this service evaluation is situated in Yorkshire, England, and can refer children via an online referral system to either the local Community Dental Service (secondary care) or Leeds Dental Institute (tertiary care) for specialist paediatric dentistry. The practice has a patient base of both National Health Service (NHS) and private patients; children are seen on an NHS basis within the practice.The International Association of Dental Traumatology (IADT) have produced comprehensive guidance for the management of traumatic dental injuries (TDIs), which provide a gold standard for dentists managing dental trauma. Primary care dentists, however, have been shown to have lower confidence levels in dealing with complex dental trauma.2 Anecdotally within the practice, the dentists felt that there was an increase in the number of trauma cases that were presenting. The dentists' experience differed in number of years qualified and experience in dealing with traumatic dental injuries (TDIs). The service evaluation aimed to review the current management of TDI within the practice.To evaluate the management of TDIs within a general dental practice setting.Clinical records were retrospectively evaluated between the period of January 2021 to March 2023. Appointments that had been booked as ‘trauma’ on the practice electronic software were reviewed, and TDIs in primary and permanent dentitions were included. Data collection occurred pertaining to patient age, trauma history diagnosis, treatment provided, radiographs taken, onward referral and whether initial assessment and management of trauma was in line with IADT guidelines. Onward referrals were reviewed as to whether they met current local protocols for referral; the following injuries (in permanent teeth) were taken to be appropriate for referral to specialist care; avulsed teeth, crown–root fractures, luxation injuries and complicated enamel dentine fractures with open apices. Descriptive analysis of the results was undertaken.An anonymous online survey was sen

牙外伤的发病率很高，每三个学龄前儿童中就有一个受到初级牙外伤，每四个学龄儿童中就有一个受到恒牙外伤。全科牙科医生通常是儿童遭受牙外伤后第一位接诊的临床医生。2 最初的处理会影响所涉牙齿的长期治疗效果，3 而且牙外伤会对生活质量产生终生影响。因此，在首次就诊时及时提供正确的临床治疗并评估是否需要转诊至儿科专科医生非常重要。本次服务评估中的初级保健诊所位于英格兰约克郡，可通过在线转诊系统将儿童转诊至当地的社区牙科服务机构（二级医疗机构）或利兹牙科研究所（三级医疗机构）接受儿童牙科专科治疗。国际牙科创伤协会（IADT）制定了全面的牙科创伤（TDI）管理指南，为牙医管理牙科创伤提供了黄金标准。然而，事实证明初级保健牙医在处理复杂牙科创伤方面的信心水平较低。2 在诊所内，牙医们感觉到牙科创伤病例的数量有所增加。牙医们的从业年限和处理牙外伤（TDI）的经验各不相同。此次服务评估的目的是审查该诊所目前对创伤性牙外伤（TDI）的管理情况。对 2021 年 1 月至 2023 年 3 月期间的临床记录进行了回顾性评估。对诊所电子软件中被预约为 "外伤 "的预约进行了审查，其中包括基牙和恒牙的TDI。收集的数据涉及患者年龄、外伤史诊断、提供的治疗、拍片、转诊以及外伤的初步评估和处理是否符合 IADT 指南。对转诊患者是否符合当地现行的转诊规定进行了审查；以下损伤（恒牙）被认为适合转诊至专科医疗机构：牙齿脱落、牙冠-牙根骨折、牙齿松动损伤和复杂的牙釉质牙本质骨折且牙根尖开放。我们向诊所的四位牙医发送了一份匿名在线调查。调查采用李克特量表对牙医自我感觉在处理牙科创伤方面的知识和信心进行了调查，5 分表示高度自信。在 2021 年 1 月至 2023 年 3 月期间，有 12 名患者的 15 颗牙齿出现了 TDI，其中有 8 种不同的 TDI 诊断。大多数 TDI 发生在恒牙上（80%，n = 12）。所有病例在初次就诊时均按照 IADT 指南进行管理。牙医对处理 TDI 的信心相对较低，自我报告的平均信心分数为 2.5（5 分）（范围为 2-4）。自由文本数据详细说明了信心不足的领域，包括转诊的适当性、使用牙冠成形器修复釉质牙本质骨折、部分髓核切开术以及夹板和复查的时间表。此外，该项目还提供了普通牙科诊所中牙科创伤管理的相关数据，为该领域有限的现有文献做出了贡献。2A 记录牙科创伤的标准化数据集方法有助于提高护理质量，并可对牙科创伤后的结果进行比较。本项目中的干预措施可能导致了转诊的减少，因为牙医在内部处理创伤病例时感到更加得心应手，了解当地关于适当转诊创伤病例的协议，并且在需要时可以通过电话获得专家建议。

Background: Weighted blankets are one method to provide deep pressure touch sensations, which are associated with a calming effect on the nervous system. Weighted blankets have been reported to elicit a calming effect during stressful dental encounters and routine prophylactic visits in older adolescents and adults. Preliminary research suggests that weighted blankets are safe and feasible for children in both hospital and home settings; this, however, has not yet been examined in a paediatric dental environment.

Aim: To examine the feasibility, acceptability, and perceived effectiveness of a weighted blanket during paediatric dental care.

Design: This cross-sectional study examined child, caregiver, and dentist-reported responses to survey questions asking about their experience with the weighted blanket during care (n = 20 each per child and caregiver group, n = 9 dentists).

Results: The use of a weighted blanket is feasible, acceptable, and appropriate as reported by caregivers and dentists (means ≥ 4.70 on the Feasibility of Intervention, Acceptability of Intervention, and Intervention Appropriateness Measures). Few problems were described, and all groups overwhelmingly responded with enthusiasm, noted the blanket's potential for future use, and perceived that a weighted blanket improved care (means ≥ 4.10).

Conclusions: Study findings support the feasibility and acceptability of using a weighted blanket during a routine, noninvasive paediatric dental care.

背景：配重毯是提供深压触感的一种方法，这种触感对神经系统有镇静作用。有报道称，在青少年和成年人紧张的牙科就诊和例行预防性就诊中，配重毯能起到镇静作用。初步研究表明，配重毯对医院和家庭环境中的儿童来说都是安全可行的；但是，在儿科牙科环境中还没有进行过这方面的研究：这项横断面研究考察了儿童、护理人员和牙医对调查问题的回答，这些问题询问了他们在护理过程中使用加重毯的体验（每组儿童和护理人员各20人，牙医9人）：结果：根据护理人员和牙医的报告，使用加重毯是可行、可接受和适当的（干预可行性、干预可接受性和干预适当性测量的平均值≥4.70）。几乎没有出现任何问题，所有群体都积极响应，指出了毯子在未来使用中的潜力，并认为加权毯改善了护理（平均值≥4.10）：研究结果表明，在常规非侵入性儿科牙科护理中使用加压毯具有可行性和可接受性。

It is a pleasure once again to introduce our BSPD supplement. As ever, the 2024 supplement includes our annual conference abstracts and the Quality Improvement Bulletin. Our conference this year will be hosted by the South Wales Branch in Cardiff where the presidency will transfer from Prof Paula Waterhouse to Dr Shannu Bhatia. The conference has been organised under the local chair, Dr Rohini Mohan, and I am looking forward to an excellent programme, the usual networking opportunities as well as seeing the abstracts presented.

Reviewing the abstracts has provided an excellent insight into the breadth and quality of work going on in the speciality, and it is encouraging to see new innovations, new applications of methods and work putting children at the heart of what we do. I would especially like to thank members of the Conference Abstracts and Prizes Committee for their very hard work in reviewing the abstracts and in advance for their judging of the prize competitions.

Our Quality Improvement Briefing editor Dr Cheryl Somani has created an informative and interesting set of articles with a thought-provoking invited feature on virtual clinics from Lexy Lyne and Joe Noar. I must extend a warm congratulations to Cheryl and the rest of the QIB team, Armaana Ahmad and Claudia Heggie, for this important aspect of BSPD's work.

Oral health assessment of newly diagnosed oncology patients—Who are we missing? 新确诊肿瘤患者的口腔健康评估--我们漏掉了谁？

An estimated 1:500 children are diagnosed with cancer each year.1 When assessed on a global scale, there is a higher incidence of childhood cancer in countries of a high human development index (HDI), compared to that of a low development index (LDI).2In the UK, all children are treated at designated specialist Principal Treatment Centres (PTC), including Royal Manchester Children's Hospital (RMCH), to standardise clinical care and follow-up.3 Approximately 120 new malignant disease diagnoses are seen per year at RMCH from across the region, all of whom require a range of treatment modalities including chemotherapy, radiotherapy, proton beam therapy, stem cell transplant and surgical management.4The Royal College of Surgeons England has recommended that all children diagnosed with cancer should have access to dental care, including a full initial assessment with radiographs at time of diagnosis, before commencement of treatment.4 Paediatric dental units working with oncology centres should have a mechanism of notification for new patients.5During oncology treatment, oral care can become neglected with changes in oral health routines, particularly for children undergoing inpatient treatments.6 Additional nutritional intake requirements and oral manifestations such as mucositis and opportunistic infections further impact oral health and increase caries risk. Poor oral health can adversely impact oncology treatment, increasing morbidity risk and length of inpatient hospital stays.3 Furthermore, long-term oral complications following curative cancer treatments may require specialist-led care for oral rehabilitation in future.Following an urgent general anaesthetic procedure for a child receiving cancer treatment with severe dental decay, it became apparent that not all newly diagnosed oncology patients at RMCH were referred for a baseline dental assessment at time of diagnosis. Analysis of the previous month highlighted multiple urgent ward visits for dental assessments for patients in pain who were unknown to the department and had not seen a dental practitioner for assessment prior to commencing cancer treatment. This highlighted a clinical need to improve dental care for this cohort, and thus provided stimulus for this quality improvement project which was conducted using the Plan-Do-Study Act (PDSA) model.Improvements were made in each PDSA cycle for referral of children to the DHU at the point of cancer diagnosis, with an overall improvement of 48%. With 90% (n = 36) of children referred in Cycle 3, this improvement was felt to be supported by the integration of direct electronic referral into the new Trust wide electronic record system (Epic™). Previous cycles required an electronic document referral to be sent

2 在英国，所有儿童都在指定的专科主要治疗中心（PTC）接受治疗，包括曼彻斯特皇家儿童医院（RMCH），以实现临床治疗和随访的标准化。3 曼彻斯特皇家儿童医院每年接诊来自该地区的约 120 名新恶性疾病患者，他们都需要接受一系列治疗，包括化疗、放疗、质子束疗法、干细胞移植和外科手术治疗。英国皇家外科学院建议，所有被诊断患有癌症的儿童在开始治疗前都应获得牙科护理，包括在确诊时进行全面的初步评估并拍摄X光片。口腔健康状况不佳会对肿瘤治疗产生不利影响，增加发病风险和住院时间。3 此外，癌症根治性治疗后的长期口腔并发症将来可能需要口腔康复方面的专科护理。在对一名患有严重蛀牙的接受癌症治疗的儿童进行紧急全身麻醉手术后，我们发现 RMCH 医院并非所有新诊断的肿瘤患者在确诊时都接受了基线牙科评估。对上个月的分析显示，有多名疼痛患者紧急前往病房进行牙科评估，而这些患者在开始接受癌症治疗之前并不认识该部门，也没有见过牙科医生进行评估。这突显出临床上需要改善对这部分患者的牙科护理，从而推动了采用 "计划-实施-研究"（Plan-Do-Study Act，PDSA）模式开展的质量改进项目。在第 3 个周期中，90%（n = 36）的患儿被转诊，这一进步得益于将直接电子转诊整合到新的全信托电子记录系统（Epic™）中。在第二周期之后，我们实施了一套交叉核对系统，由肿瘤科团队每月提供一份新诊断患者的数字名单。这使 DHU 能够对患者进行核对，找出那些被遗漏的患者，并强调那些需要转诊的患者。此后，我们与肿瘤科团队密切合作，宣传口腔健康基线预防和评估的重要性，以改善这一人群的口腔健康状况。第一周期是在 COVID-19 大流行初期进行的，由于临床工作人员的能力和可用性降低，影响了转诊分流的数量。因此，最初接受牙科评估的转诊比例并不理想。接下来的周期显示，转诊儿童中被分流并获得牙科评估预约的比例有所增加，回顾性数据分别为 90%（n = 26）和 94%（n = 34）。由于每个周期的儿童人数较少，因此在绝对值变化相对较小的情况下，百分比变化却很大。因此，尽管这是一种最佳做法，但要 100%实现既定目标仍具有挑战性。在为期 3 年的项目中，转诊到 DHU 的儿童中约有四分之一有积极的治疗需求，其中三分之一的儿童需要牙科全身麻醉。通常情况下，口腔健康团队与 PTC 是分开的，进一步开展跨医疗学科的合作项目有助于进一步整合患者护理，让口腔回归身体。随着肿瘤团队转诊到口腔科的病人越来越多，口腔科正在努力确保 "迷你口腔护理计划 "得到有效利用。迷你口腔护理计划 "的原则将有助于加强各医疗部门的口腔健康宣传，确保为患者提供全面的护理，并确保在需要时转介适当的牙科人员进行基线评估。我们部门的目标是将口腔健康筛查扩展到其他医疗专科。

Virtual clinics in paediatric dentistry 儿童牙科虚拟诊所。

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the National Health Service (NHS) had to adapt and innovate in ways to provide clinical care. A traditional healthcare model, where patients travel to a clinical building for their care, or a clinician travelled to the patients' home, was not possible. Instead, many Trusts established or expanded virtual ways of providing care; the patient and clinician connect remotely, via telephone, video call, or written communication.Beyond the pandemic, virtual clinics and wards have become a routine part of NHS healthcare, with benefits for patients, staff, and the environment.1Dental procedures cannot be carried out virtually, so in this paper we refer to appointments that are for assessment, treatment planning, or review. In the speciality of paediatric dentistry, where patients have rapidly evolving dentitions and undergo rapid change, there is a high need for these types of appointments.The aim of this paper is to highlight different formats of virtual clinics that are relevant to the field of paediatric dentistry, using example cases and quality improvement data from the virtual clinics at the Eastman Dental Hospital.Virtual clinics can take many forms, and the value of different clinic types may depend on the case-mix for each paediatric dentistry service. All virtual clinics can be conducted in a clinical room, in a non-clinical room, or remotely.For any appointment or interaction, appropriate patient documentation will need to be completed, such as clinical notes, letters, requesting follow up appointments, coding, and recording the referral-to-treat outcome. The authors also suggest asking parents to send in patient photographs in advance of a virtual clinic, as this aids the diagnostic value of the appointment.For the sake of simplicity, the term ‘parent’ is used to refer to the adult most likely to accompany the patient and have parental responsibility. This is not the case for every patient, and so the term ‘parent’ should be substituted with the appropriate adult(s) for each child or young person.Virtual working can have benefits for patients, parents, and staff. They are also associated with less costs both financially and environmentally. Admittedly, except for A&G, they require a similar amount of time as face-to-face appointments.When planning a virtual clinic, a clear standard operating procedure should be written, and all stakeholders included to identify the important issues to be managed. This could include personnel, funding, administrative support, as well as the physical location and hardware required to run the virtual service.

在 COVID-19 大流行期间，国家医疗服务系统（NHS）不得不调整和创新提供临床护理的方式。传统的医疗保健模式，即病人前往临床大楼接受治疗，或临床医生前往病人家中，是不可能实现的。相反，许多信托机构建立或扩大了提供医疗服务的虚拟方式；病人和临床医生通过电话、视频通话或书面交流进行远程联系。除了大流行病之外，虚拟诊所和病房已经成为英国国家医疗服务体系医疗服务的常规部分，对病人、员工和环境都有好处。在儿童牙科这一专业领域，患者的牙齿状况发展迅速，变化也很快，因此非常需要这些类型的预约。本文旨在利用伊士曼牙科医院虚拟诊所的案例和质量改进数据，重点介绍与儿童牙科领域相关的虚拟诊所的不同形式。虚拟诊所可以有多种形式，不同诊所类型的价值可能取决于每个儿童牙科服务的病例组合。所有虚拟诊所都可以在临床诊室、非临床诊室或远程进行。对于任何预约或互动，都需要完成适当的患者文件记录，如临床笔记、信件、要求后续预约、编码和记录转诊到治疗的结果。作者还建议请家长在虚拟门诊前发送患者照片，因为这有助于提高预约的诊断价值。为简单起见，"家长 "一词指的是最有可能陪伴患者并承担家长责任的成年人。并非每位患者都是如此，因此 "家长 "一词应替换为每位儿童或青少年的适当成年人。虚拟工作对病人、家长和员工都有好处，而且在经济和环境方面的成本都较低。诚然，除 A&G 外，虚拟工作所需的时间与面对面预约的时间相近。这可能包括人员、资金、行政支持以及运行虚拟服务所需的物理位置和硬件。应评估从转介人到临床医生再到医院能力的路径的每个部分。虚拟服务必须与现有的临床服务相适应，并认识到所需的临床和行政时间。一旦准备就绪，就应制定明确的指南，以便所有利益相关者了解服务的目的、目标、限制和成果。与提供面对面门诊需要训练有素的护理人员一样，准备、预约和处理虚拟门诊也需要训练有素的行政人员。这需要所有利益相关者的参与，并对所有相关人员进行培训。以下是任何考虑采用虚拟工作方式的儿童牙科服务的一些主要注意事项。就虚拟诊所而言，与任何类型的服务设计或开发一样，质量改进方法的设计应旨在评估虚拟诊所的成功，并推动变革。表 2 展示了虚拟诊所可采用的一些有用的质量改进工具和成果。如果规划得当，虚拟诊所可以使患者、家属、员工、成本和环境受益。虚拟诊所有许多不同的形式，与任何新兴服务一样，可以通过质量改进方法对其进行评估和改进。

A traditional healthcare model, where patients travel to a clinical building for their care, or a clinician travelled to the patients' home, was not possible. Instead, many Trusts established or expanded virtual ways of providing care; the patient and clinician connect remotely, via telephone, video call, or written communication.Beyond the pandemic, virtual clinics and wards have become a routine part of NHS healthcare, with benefits for patients, staff, and the environment.1Dental procedures cannot be carried out virtually, so in this paper we refer to appointments that are for assessment, treatment planning, or review. In the speciality of paediatric dentistry, where patients have rapidly evolving dentitions and undergo rapid change, there is a high need for these types of appointments.The aim of this paper is to highlight different formats of virtual clinics that are relevant to the field of paediatric dentistry, using example cases and quality improvement data from the virtual clinics at the Eastman Dental Hospital.Virtual clinics can take many forms, and the value of different clinic types may depend on the case-mix for each paediatric dentistry service. All virtual clinics can be conducted in a clinical room, in a non-clinical room, or remotely.For any appointment or interaction, appropriate patient documentation will need to be completed, such as clinical notes, letters, requesting follow up appointments, coding, and recording the referral-to-treat outcome. The authors also suggest asking parents to send in patient photographs in advance of a virtual clinic, as this aids the diagnostic value of the appointment.For the sake of simplicity, the term ‘parent’ is used to refer to the adult most likely to accompany the patient and have parental responsibility. This is not the case for every patient, and so the term ‘parent’ should be substituted with the appropriate adult(s) for each child or young person.Virtual working can have benefits for patients, parents, and staff. They are also associated with less costs both financially and environmentally. Admittedly, except for A&G, they require a similar amount of time as face-to-face appointments.When planning a virtual clinic, a clear standard operating procedure should be written, and all stakeholders included to identify the important issues to be managed. This could include personnel, funding, administrative support, as well as the physical location and hardware required to run the virtual service. Each part of the pathway should be assessed from referrer to clinician to hospital capacity.

Development of a virtual orthodontic advice pathway in a community dental service 在社区牙科服务中开发虚拟正畸咨询路径。

Whittington Health Dental Service (WHDS) provides specialist-led community-based paediatric dental services across 13 London boroughs. Virtual advice and guidance pathways were introduced for all specialties, to ensure patients can access specialist advice when necessary, across all of WHDS's 23 clinics.Paediatric patients with compromised first permanent molars (cFPMs) often require orthodontic advice before commencing treatment.1 This would have involved referral to a local orthodontic practice, taking 9–12 months to receive advice, and sometimes contributed to delayed care and patients being unable to receive treatment within the ideal treatment window.In July 2021, WHDS collaborated with Dr Hemant Patel (HP), lead orthodontist of Angle House Orthodontics (AHO), to address this problem by introduction of the Rapid Orthodontic Advice Request (ROAR) pathway. AHO, is a group of 13 specialist orthodontic practices based across the same geographical location as WHDS and is one of the main orthodontic providers for these patients. The ROAR pathway involves the referring dentist sending a clinical summary with orthodontic photographs and radiographs to HP via email. HP would review the information and provide the advice needed to commence their dental treatment in the CDS, without the child having to wait for a face-to-face orthodontic appointment. The ROAR pathway is not commissioned, and it is therefore crucial to evaluate the pathway for effectiveness to minimise the number of referrals, such that HP's time, offered via goodwill, is used efficiently.WHDS also provide a separate virtual advice pathway for specialist paediatric dentistry, the Paediatric Dental Advice Clinic (PDAC). It was noted that some patients were being referred through both pathways and involving the paediatric dental team in the ROAR pathway could improve efficiency.A log of all ROAR requests is stored on an encrypted Microsoft Excel® (Microsoft Corporation, Redmond, USA) spreadsheet. The pathway was assessed through a SE in July 2022. Actions were taken to improve the virtual advice pathway to incorporate screening from the specialist paediatric dental team and a second SE was conducted in November 2023 to reassess the pathway (Table 1).As services nationwide consider methods of incorporating virtual advice and guidance into their clinical pathways, these evaluations show the benefits of having a combined paediatric and orthodontic advice pathway. Paediatric screening of the orthodontic advice requests also provided an opportunity for teaching and upskilling the wider dental team.Referrers highly valued feedback and advice from the paediatric team to improve their orthodontic referrals. Paediatric screening increased the time taken to receive advice from a maximum of 10–32 days. The longer response times coincided with periods of staff leave, and although the overall time for advice increased, it was still a

惠廷顿健康牙科服务（Whittington Health Dental Service，WHDS）在伦敦 13 个区提供以专科医生为主导的社区儿童牙科服务。所有专科都引入了虚拟咨询和指导路径，以确保患者在必要时能够在惠廷顿健康牙科服务的所有 23 个诊所中获得专家建议。1 患有受损第一恒磨牙（cFPM）的儿科患者在开始治疗前通常需要正畸建议。2021年7月，WHDS与Angle House Orthodontics（AHO）的首席正畸医生Hemant Patel博士（HP）合作，通过引入快速正畸建议请求（ROAR）途径来解决这一问题。Angle House Orthodontics 由 13 家专业正畸诊所组成，与 WHDS 位于同一地理区域，是这些患者的主要正畸服务提供商之一。ROAR 途径包括转诊牙医通过电子邮件向惠普公司发送一份临床摘要以及正畸照片和放射照片。惠普将审查这些信息，并提供所需的建议，以便在 CDS 开始牙科治疗，而儿童则无需等待面对面的正畸预约。ROAR路径没有经过委托，因此，评估该路径的有效性以尽量减少转诊数量至关重要，这样，通过善意提供的HP的时间就得到了有效利用。WHDS还为专科儿童牙科提供了一个单独的虚拟咨询路径，即儿童牙科咨询诊所（PDAC）。我们注意到，有些病人同时通过这两种途径转诊，因此让儿童牙科团队参与到 ROAR 途径中可以提高效率。所有 ROAR 请求的日志都存储在加密的 Microsoft Excel® （微软公司，美国雷德蒙德）电子表格中。2022 年 7 月，通过 SE 对该路径进行了评估。在全国范围内的服务机构都在考虑将虚拟建议和指导纳入其临床路径的方法时，这些评估显示了儿科和正畸联合建议路径的益处。对正畸咨询请求的儿科筛查也为更广泛的牙科团队提供了教学和提高技能的机会。转诊者非常重视儿科团队的反馈和建议，以改进他们的正畸转诊。儿科筛查增加了获得建议所需的时间，最长为 10-32 天。较长的响应时间与员工休假时间相吻合，尽管获得建议的总体时间增加了，但转诊者认为仍然非常快。许多 WHDS 的家长/监护人在语言和数字技术方面存在障碍，或者健康知识水平较低。以克服这些障碍的方式将家长/监护人和患者的意见纳入行动计划中。

Background: The Caries Impacts and Experiences Questionnaire for Children (CARIES-QC), which was developed to assess dental caries-specific Child Oral Health Related Quality of Life (COHRQoL), has been translated into few world languages.

Aim: To develop and validate the Tamil version of Caries Impacts and Experience Questionnaire for Children (CARIES-QC).

Design: This cross-sectional study was conducted among socially marginalized school children in Chennai City. The initial translation of the English CARIES-QC questionnaire to Tamil was made by two independent translators followed by an expert committee discussion to derive a prefinal version of the Tamil questionnaire. Subsequently, content validation was performed by bilingual subject experts followed by preliminary pilot testing among 30 school children aged 8-10 years studying in Adidravidar Welfare High School, Chennai, to produce the final version of the questionnaire. Convergent validity, discriminant validity, and test-retest reliability of the translated questionnaire were tested among 191 children.

Results: The content validation process revealed that the translated version had relevant questions and content coverage (Scale-wise Content Validity Index score = .91). The children with and without dental caries had mean CARIES-QC scores of 5.39 + 3.7 and 3.71 + 5.1, respectively, and their statistically significant difference (p-value = .04) between them indicates the scale's satisfactory discriminant validity. The Cronbach's alpha was .87 indicating the questionnaire's good internal consistency.

Conclusion: The newly developed Tamil CARIES-QC questionnaire is a valid and reliable tool for assessing COHRQoL among Tamil-speaking school children.

背景：目的：开发并验证泰米尔语版的儿童龋齿影响和经历问卷（CARIES-QC）：这项横断面研究在钦奈市的社会边缘化学童中进行。由两名独立翻译人员将英文版 CARIES-QC 问卷初步翻译成泰米尔文，然后由专家委员会进行讨论，得出泰米尔文问卷的最终版本。随后，由双语学科专家进行了内容验证，并在钦奈市阿迪德拉维达福利中学 30 名 8-10 岁的学童中进行了初步试点测试，最终确定了问卷的最终版本。在 191 名儿童中测试了翻译问卷的收敛效度、区分效度和重复测试可靠性：内容验证过程显示，翻译版本的问题和内容覆盖面相关（量表内容效度指数得分 = .91）。有龋齿儿童和无龋齿儿童的 CARIES-QC 平均得分分别为 5.39 + 3.7 和 3.71 + 5.1，两者之间的差异具有统计学意义（P 值 = 0.04），表明量表的判别效度令人满意。Cronbach's alpha 为 0.87，表明问卷具有良好的内部一致性：结论：新开发的泰米尔语 CARIES-QC 问卷是评估泰米尔语学童 COHRQoL 的有效、可靠的工具。

Background: Manual dexterity includes gross motor skills (GMS) and fine motor skills (FMS). Literature reports manual dexterity as a contributing factor for improved oral hygiene and that the required dexterity for toothbrushing develops above 8 years of age. Research suggests grip force, movement speed, and motor coordination should be assessed to improve knowledge on kinetics of brushing teeth.

Aim: To assess the impact of manual dexterity on toothbrushing efficacy in 7 to 12 year old children.

Design: The cross-sectional study included 150 typically developing 7-12 year old children. Oral health status was recorded using the Decayed, Missing, and Filled Teeth index. GMS and FMS were evaluated using the MInnesota Manual Dexterity Test (MMDT) and Archimedes spiral test (AST), respectively. Toothbrushing efficacy was determined by Turesky modification of Quigley-Hein Plaque Index- difference in mean scores from before and after toothbrushing.

Results: Assessment of GMS, FMS, and toothbrushing efficacy using ANOVA showed a significant increase with age (p value: 0.000); unpaired t-test showed an association of toothbrushing efficacy with GMS and FMS irrespective of age (p value: 0.000).

Conclusion: Manual dexterity was significantly associated with toothbrushing efficacy in typically developing children. AST, a simple test to determine FMS, may help paediatric dentists to guide parents on the supervision of toothbrushing for their child.

背景：手的灵活性包括粗大运动技能（GMS）和精细运动技能（FMS）。文献报道，手的灵活性是改善口腔卫生的一个因素，而刷牙所需的灵活性在 8 岁以上才开始形成。研究表明，应评估握力、移动速度和运动协调性，以提高对刷牙动力学的认识：这项横断面研究包括 150 名发育正常的 7-12 岁儿童。使用龋齿、缺失牙和填充牙指数记录口腔健康状况。分别使用明尼苏达手动灵活性测试（MMDT）和阿基米德螺旋测试（AST）评估GMS和FMS。刷牙效果通过 Turesky 对 Quigley-Hein 牙菌斑指数的修正--刷牙前后平均得分的差异来确定：结果：使用方差分析对 GMS、FMS 和刷牙效果进行的评估显示，刷牙效果随年龄的增长而显著增加（p 值：0.000）；非配对 t 检验显示，刷牙效果与 GMS 和 FMS 相关，与年龄无关（p 值：0.000）：结论：在发育正常的儿童中，手的灵活性与刷牙效率有很大关系。AST 是一种用于确定 FMS 的简单测试，可帮助儿科牙医指导家长监督孩子刷牙。

AST, a simple test to determine FMS, may help paediatric dentists to guide parents on the supervision of toothbrushing for their child.","PeriodicalId":14268,"journal":{"name":"International journal of paediatric dentistry","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142080229","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Background

Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) face unique challenges in oral care. Aligner therapy offers a promising alternative to conventional approaches for this patient group.

Aim

To evaluate orthodontic aligner therapy outcomes in children with ASD using the Peer Assessment Rating (PAR) Index and the Index of Complexity, Outcome, and Need (ICON), and to investigate whether concomitant disorders affect ICON, PAR scores, and treatment duration.

Design

Two calibrated observers assessed digital dental casts and intraoral pictures of 37 children with ASD before (T0) and after (T1) their treatment. At T0, the participants' average age was 12.9 years (SD = 1.68); at T1, post-therapy, the average age was 14.9 years (SD = 1.51). All participants underwent orthodontic aligner therapy. Statistical methods employed in this study included descriptive analysis, Wilcoxon tests, and univariate linear regression.

Results

Posttreatment, median ICON scores decreased significantly from 74 to 14, and median PAR scores from 36 to 8 (p < .0001), demonstrating “excellent to substantial” improvement in 89.2% (n = 33) of the children. Comorbidities, present in 62% of patients, did not significantly affect treatment duration (22.6 ± 11.02 months).

Conclusion

Children with ASD significantly benefit from orthodontic aligner therapy, emphasizing the need for tailored orthodontic care.

背景：患有自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）的儿童在口腔护理方面面临着独特的挑战。目的：使用同伴评估评分（PAR）指数和复杂性、结果和需求指数（ICON）评估自闭症谱系障碍儿童的正畸矫治效果，并研究伴随疾病是否会影响ICON、PAR评分和治疗持续时间：设计：两名经过校准的观察者分别在治疗前（T0）和治疗后（T1）对 37 名患有 ASD 的儿童的数字牙模和口内照片进行评估。T0时，参与者的平均年龄为12.9岁（SD=1.68）；T1时，即治疗后，参与者的平均年龄为14.9岁（SD=1.51）。所有参与者都接受了正畸矫治器治疗。本研究采用的统计方法包括描述性分析、Wilcoxon 检验和单变量线性回归：治疗后，ICON 评分中位数从 74 分显著降至 14 分，PAR 评分中位数从 36 分显著降至 8 分（p 结论：治疗后，ICON 评分中位数从 74 分显著降至 14 分，PAR 评分中位数从 36 分显著降至 8 分：患有 ASD 的儿童从正畸矫治器治疗中获益匪浅，强调了量身定制正畸护理的必要性。
