“…Approximately 21% of participants in our study were dissatisfied with their oral health, similar to other national and international studies with elderly populations in Norway, Sweden, England and Canada . Oral health satisfaction is considered a useful subjective measure of people's oral health, and consequently, an important indicator for public health managers of older individuals to decide which type of public dental services are best suited to their client needs …”

“…Furthermore, the cross‐sectional design did not allow a cause‐effect relationship to be established. We did not collect clinical information, a variable that could be associated with DOH and interfere in the statistical significance of the variables in the models, although studies have indicated that these associations are weak, and more related to subjective components . In spite of more than 80% of older persons in the present study earning less than 3 BMW, which could be considered a poor group, the last demographic census in Piracicaba demonstrated that the average monthly salary of formal workers was about 3.3 BMW and the latest national census demonstrated that the national average monthly income was about 1.46 BMW .…”

Objective To investigate the influence of oral health literacy (OHL) and associated factors on dissatisfaction with oral health (DOH) among older people. Background Oral health literacy is a recent field of research that has been considered an important mediator between socioeconomic variables and oral health outcomes. However, there are few studies with older people. Materials and methods A cross‐sectional study was conducted with 535 non‐institutionalised older people aged 60‐100 years from Brazil. Individuals completed a questionnaire on general health, sociodemographic information and usual reason for dental visit. OHL was assessed using the Health Literacy in Dentistry questionnaire (HeLD‐14), validated in Brazil. DOH was the outcome of interest. Poisson regression with robust standard errors was applied as a statistical model to estimate bivariate and multivariable relationships of DOH with OHL after adjusting for sex, age, social characteristics and general health using the P‐value of ≤ .05. Results The overall prevalence of DOH was 21.1%. Multivariable regression analysis showed that older people with low OHL (HeLD‐14 score ≤35) had 1.28 times the odds of having DOH than those with high OHL (HeLD14 score >46), after adjusting for sociodemographic, economic and health outcomes. Conclusions Dissatisfaction with oral health in older people is a complex issue associated with OHL, social and behavioural factors. Health services should give greater attention to developing health literacy competences in older adults in order to empower them to achieve optimal oral health.

“…41 Future studies should investigate society-level determinants and the use of stratified models according to other demographic characteristics since these relationships and mechanisms seem to differ, for example, between sex and ethnic groups. 42 43 Although this study was conducted during adulthood, the results of the present work support the 'accumulation risk model' and the 'pathway model' originally described in life course epidemiology.…”

Objectives This study explored different pathways by which social position and social ties influence adult's oral health over a 13-year period.Methods A cohort investigation (Pro-Saúde Study) was conducted of non-faculty civil servants at a university in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (N=1613). Baseline data collected in 1999 included age, social position, social ties, and access to dental care. Psychological factors and smoking were assessed in 2001, whereas tooth loss and self-rated oral health (SROH) were collected in 2012. A hypothesised model exploring different direct and indirect pathways was developed and tested using structural equation modelling. ResultsThe model was a good fit to the data and accounted for 40% and 27% of the Clinical significance Adult's oral health is influenced by social conditions through direct and indirect pathways, including via psychological factors and smoking.

“…Dental healthcare provided is reported according to the national coding system for diagnoses/conditions and treatments (TLV; Swedish Dental and Pharmaceutical Benefits Agency) for primary and permanent dentitions on patient, tooth and tooth surface levels. Furthermore, data on patient‐perceived oral health are uploaded, using a global question. In total more than 400 variables are transferred to the registry (a complete list of variables can be obtained from the corresponding author).…”

Objectives There is a need for monitoring dental health and healthcare, as support for quality development, allocation of resources and long‐term planning of dental care. The aim of this paper is to describe the concept and implementation of the Swedish Quality Registry for Caries and Periodontal Diseases (SKaPa). Materials and methods: The SKaPa receives information by automatic transfer of data daily from electronic patient dental records via secure connections from affiliated dental care organisations (DCOs). The registry stores information about DCOs, dental professionals and patients. Information on a patient level includes personal identifier, gender, age, living area, dental status, risk assessments for caries and periodontitis, and dental care provided. In addition, data generated from a global question on patient‐perceived oral health are uploaded. In total, more than 400 variables are transferred to the registry and updated daily. Results: In 2018, all of the 21 public DCOs and the largest private DCO in Sweden were affiliated to SKaPa, representing a total of 1,089 public and 234 private dental clinics. The accumulated amount of information on dental healthcare covers 6.9 million individuals out of the total Swedish population of 10 million. SKaPa produces reports on de‐identified data, both cross‐sectional and longitudinal. Conclusion: As a nationwide registry based on automatic retrieval of data directly from patient records, SKaPa offers the basis for a new era of systematic evaluation of oral health and quality of dental care. The registry supports clinical and epidemiological research, data mining and external validation of results from randomised controlled trials

Does different wording of a global oral health question provide different results?

Abstract: Regardless of the wording, it seems that the concept of a global oral health question has the same main determinants.
