“…16 The definition of criteria and time of up to 48 hours for care had the intent to ensure emergency care within an adequate time and coincides with the time presented in other studies. 17,18 As for the criteria, a study points out some disagreement between professionals and the public, but that patients know that not all health issues need to be addressed immediately. 17 The study suggests that clear definitions of criteria and time can improve the efficiency of the emergency and emergency care systems in oral health, in line with the purpose of applying the framework which is to improve the quality of PHC.…”

The aim of this study was to describe the occurrence of dental emergency and its association with individual factors and primary health care services. A follow-up study was conducted with data extracted from an exploratory study about the classification of dental care needs over time according to a care framework. There were included 1831 patients of five services. The outcome was the occurrence of dental emergency analyzed according to sex, age, skin color, service and maximum waiting time for dental care. A multivariate analysis with Poisson regression was used to estimate weighted prevalence ratio (PR) with 95% Confidence Intervals (CI) and survival analysis was conducted. The prevalence of dental emergency was 12.6%,

“…Se produce por la inflamación de las encías a causa de una acumulación excesiva de bacterias. Algunos signos y síntomas son el sangrado en las encías, la acumulación de sarro y el mal aliento [1][2] La salud gingival clínica se puede restaurar después del tratamiento de la gingivitis y la periodontitis. Sin embargo, el paciente con periodontitis estable y tratado con salud gingival actual sigue teniendo un mayor riesgo de periodontitis recurrente y, en consecuencia, debe ser monitoreado de cerca.…”

Introduction: The ailments that affect the gums are called gingivitis, this disease is considered the second oral variation, it begins approximately at 5 years of age, that is, early childhood, that is why the objective of this investigation is to know factors associated with gingivitis in children, examining studies related to our terms of inclusion. Methods: A review of written publications was carried out, searching for the terms of gingivitis, diagnosis, treatment, etiology, focusing on bibliographic reviews dating from recent years. Results: The most important local predisposition in children is inadequate oral hygiene that leads to the accumulation of bacterial plaque, but there are other factors that can affect the intensity and severity of periodontitis in these patients. B. Immunological, microbiological and clinical characteristics. Conclusions: Among the predisposing factors that pediatric patients present in relation to gingivitis, we find the accumulation of bacterial plaque, microbiological, morphological and immunological characteristics, the correct diagnosis of this pathology allows successful periodontal therapy, such as non-surgical periodontal treatment since with this a decrease in the concentration of pro-inflammatory cytokine is achieved.

“…Nurse practitioners (NPs) who are currently working in community-based settings already serve the rural and underserved populations, filling gaps in providing primary care (Erikson et al, 2014). These primary care providers are well positioned to complete oral health examinations, assess risks, provide preventive oral care, and make appropriate referrals for both children and adults (Bussenius et al, 2017). The National Interprofessional Initiative on Oral Health (NIIOH) serves as an exemplar.…”

Access to oral health care is challenging, especially for vulnerable populations and those in rural and underserved areas. The purpose of this brief report is to discuss the implementation strategies of enhanced content in oral health educational materials and share results of acquisition of knowledge and confidence in oral health content by residents in a nurse practitioner residency program. The method included the use of 3 surveys of 34 questions administered at different time points measuring confidence levels and sustainability. Results showed the average level of confidence obtained in Posttest1 and in Posttest 2 after 6 months is greater than the pretest. The paired-sample t-test provides significant evidence of improving mean responses for Questions 10, 11, 16, and 32 in Posttest 1 (p-values: .04 each) and Questions 10, 17, 25, and 31 in Posttest2 (p-values: .04 each) compared with the pretest. In conclusion, the addition of enhanced oral health educational materials in our program resulted in improved knowledge and confidence in the residents to incorporate oral health care in their practices.
