“…Other studies have found that receipt of preventive care varied by the type and severity of a person's disability [9][10]; thus, it is possible that differences in the current study were obscured by lumping together all individuals with a disability. Despite these limitations, the definition of disability that we used has been shown to have explanatory power in previous studies [33,36]. Future studies that collect such information will be better suited to understand this heterogeneity.…”

“…This operational definition of disability has been used previously [33][34][35][36] and is consistent with the definition of disability from the National Center for Health Statistics [1]. We classified respondents as Veterans if they reported ever serving on Active Duty in the U.S. Armed Forces, either in the regular military, National Guard, or Reserves, and were currently retired or discharged from the military.…”

Abstract-Veterans with disabilities are at an increased risk of secondary impairments and may have difficulty accessing preventive services; accessibility may differ between Veterans who do and do not receive care at Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) facilities. We used data from the 2003 and 2004 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System surveys to evaluate associations between disability and receipt of preventive services in Veterans. Veterans with a disability were more likely to have received influenza vaccinations (VA users and nonusers), pneumococcal vaccinations (VA nonusers: p < 0.001; VA users: p = 0.073), weight management counseling (VA nonusers: p < 0.001; male VA users: p < 0.001), lower gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy (VA nonusers: 50-64 yr, p = 0.03; VA users: 65 yr, p = 0.085), mammography (VA users: p = 0.097), and serum cholesterol screening (VA nonusers: p < 0.001). Receipt was similar by disability status for fecal occult blood test (FOBT), lower GI endoscopy (VA users: 50-64 yr), human immunodeficiency virus testing, and cervical cancer screening. For no measure was there significantly lower receipt in those with versus without a disability, although there was marginal evidence in VA nonusers for overall colorectal cancer screening (i.e., lower GI endoscopy or FOBT: p = 0.063). Among Veterans, having a disability did not appear to be a barrier to receiving appropriate preventive care.

“…Em um levantamento nacional realizado nos Estados Unidos, em 2008, no qual foi avaliado o acesso à saúde oral de pessoas com defi ciência, foi constatado que a porcentagem de pessoas que relataram ter visitado o cirurgião-denti sta no ano anterior à pesquisa foi menor entre esta população, quando comparada com as pessoas que não possuíam defi ciência, revelando disparidades substanciais no acesso aos serviços de saúde bucal 15 . A saúde bucal ainda é vista com baixa prioridade quando comparada aos cuidados médicos dedicados ao indivíduo acometi do por alguma defi ciência, pois estes pacientes necessitam demasiadamente de cuidados gerais 16 .…”

Missing tooth is known to have an important role in the loss of esthetics, mastication.…”

Background: Edentulism and number of remaining teeth per capita are commonly used as main indicators of dental health status in national surveys. Objectives: To determine the level of tooth loss and the most common arch affected, to find the out awareness level of replacement of missing teeth with different prosthetic types and to evaluate the correlation between educational level and tooth loss. Subjects and methods: This was cross-sectional clinical examination, and questionnaire based study, examining the prosthetic status of young females and their level of awareness to replace missing teeth. Using the sample size calculator with the confidence interval of 95% and significance of p<0.05, the sample size was calculated to be 200. The inclusion criteria were female patients visiting Qassim Dental Clinics and primary health care centers, aged between 19-39 years. Data was processed and analyzed through SPSS. Results: The incidences of partial edentulism were 62.5% and the highest level of missing teeth was found among young females who have college and postgraduate degree, which was 52.8%. The restored cases were only16% out of the affected cases. There was a lack of awareness 39.2% to restore missing teeth among study population. The most important cause of loss teeth among the studied population of young females of Qassim was caries 90.4%. Conclusion:The study revealed that young females were concerned about their esthetics than other functions of the masticatory system. This can also be supported with the fact that missing mandible posterior teeth were found to be the most common amongst them. Present study showed that awareness level and motivation were significantly low to restore missing teeth. It also revealed that educational status was not the only predictor of health outcomes.
