“…In the Facilitating Conditions aspect, dentists expect further training on RME filling. Although most feel that the equipment in the work unit is sufficient to support it, routine maintenance of the system and repairs if necessary are still needed (Nassar et al, 2020). The monitoring process carried out by management and routine evaluations are also factors that…”

Ensuring comprehensive medical records is a crucial aspect of delivering effective healthcare in hospitals, with a particular focus on dental services. This research delves into the dynamics of the relationship between a dentist's behavior and the completeness of odontogram filling. The study focuses on a comprehensive analysis of performance expectations, effort expectations, social influence, and facilitating conditions. Through this examination, the goal is to positively influence dentist behavior, leading to improvements in the quality of odontography documentation. The findings aim to contribute valuable insights for enhancing dental practices. Adopting a qualitative research methodology with a scoping review approach, the investigation identifies various categories of dentist behavior in filling out electronic medical records. These categories are delineated based on the multifaceted aspects of performance expectations, effort expectations, social influence, and facilitating conditions. To augment the completeness of odontography filling, the research underscores the importance of considering the factors identified within these aspects. By addressing the nuanced interplay between these elements, interventions can be strategically designed to positively impact dentist behavior and, consequently, elevate the standard of odontography documentation. This research contributes valuable insights to the ongoing efforts aimed at refining the implementation of health services and ensuring meticulous medical record-keeping, particularly in the dental domain.

Indeed, there are numerous situations where the completely physical sealing of root canal alone does not achieve the aim of optimal treatment.…”

“…23 Medical professionals should be aware of the need for regular oral examination and should encourage patients to visit a dentist regularly. 24 Additionally, the public should receive information about the effects of oral health on general health. 25 In the context of the ageing population, there is a need to provide free oral health care to people with a socioeconomic status below the poverty line.…”

Background. This cross-sectional study investigated root caries prevalence among older adults in Miraj, India.Methods. Stratified cluster sampling was used; 891 (5%) of households were randomly selected in each of the nine wards in Miraj. Between January and June 2022, individuals aged ≥55 years from the selected households were invited to undergo oral examination. Root caries status was determined using the root caries index. Periodontal status was determined using the Community Periodontal Index. Sugar intake was determined using the sweet score. Data on the use of tobacco products and oral hygiene practices were collected using a self-administered questionnaire.Results. Of 1756 participants, 493 (28.1%) had root caries. The mean root caries index was 1.72±0.44, and the prevalence of recession with decay was 2.0%. The prevalences of periodontal pockets and loss of attachment were 10.5% and 92.6%, respectively. Caries was present in 82.0% of participants with a sugar score in the 'watch out zone' and 13.3% of participants with a 'good' sugar score. Conclusions. 28.1% of older adults in Miraj had root caries. No root caries had fillings, which suggests low emphasis on oral health. Caries prevention measures should be implemented for older adults.
