Interventions for tobacco cessation in the dental setting

Improving Tobacco Dependence Education Among the Loma Linda University School of Dentistry Faculty

“…Among the respondents, 59.8 percent requested training in behavioral intervention techniques, 43.5 percent in diagnosis and treatment planning, and 42.4 percent in pharmacotherapy prescribing options. The results obtained from faculty members who were concerned about their lack of training during dental school are similar to those of other studies 19 , 22 – 24 …”

Long-term follow-up of a high- and a low-intensity smoking cessation intervention in a dental setting– a randomized trial

“…The present study, performed in a public dental setting, supports the findings of benefits by using dental professionals for cessation interventions presented in the recent Cochrane-review [7]. The review finds a significant effect of behavioral interventions versus control for adult smokers in general dental practices with 6–12 months of follow-up (OR 2.38, 95% CI 1.70-3.35, no evidence of heterogeneity [I 2 =3%]).…”

Assessing implementation difficulties in tobacco use prevention and cessation counselling among dental providers

“…The domains environmental context and resources, beliefs about capabilities, and skills yielded the lowest scores (Figure 2) and were thus identified as potential barriers to implementation. This result is consistent with findings from non-theory-based studies in other settings and contexts among dental providers [10-12,27]. Because the domain motivation and goals is potentially the most important predictor of guideline implementation among healthcare providers [16,28], it is encouraging that it produced a relatively high score in this context.…”
