“…Evidence supports that oral health is an effective clinical exemplar for operationalizing interprofessional competencies that prepare students to practice collaboratively following graduation or on completion of residencies (Haber et al, 2017(Haber et al, , 2021Mays, 2021;Sanders et al, 2021;Siddiqi et al, 2022;Valachovic, 2019). Providing students across health professions with clinical didactic, simulation or in-person IPE experiences featuring the HEENOT approach and OHNEP's oral-systemic resources, empowers them to transcend discipline-specific silos and successfully collaborate to combat oral disease when they enter the workforce as oral health champions (Figure 1; Table 2).…”

The Oral Health Nursing Education and Practice Program (OHNEP), a core partner of the National Interprofessional Initiative on Oral Health, is a national initiative focused on implementing an interprofessional oral health workforce innovation to influence change in clinical education, practice, and policy. OHNEP aims to address oral health disparities by enhancing the nursing profession's role in integrating oral health and its links to overall health in both academic and clinical settings. Leveraging the opportunity to cultivate faculty, preceptors, and clinicians as oral health champions, OHNEP aims to integrate interprofessional oral health clinical content and competencies in undergraduate and graduate nursing programs through faculty and preceptor development, curriculum integration, and establishing oral health as a standard of care in clinical settings. Outcomes include widespread dissemination of OHNEP virtual products and resources used by a significant number of undergraduate and graduate programs nationwide. OHNEP has a notable impact on policy related to integrating oral health and its links to overall health in undergraduate and graduate nursing programs, thereby increasing interprofessional oral health workforce capacity and aiming to improve oral health equity.

PurposeThe annual teaching oral‐systemic health (TOSH) virtual clinical simulation and case study activity exposes interprofessional teams of nurse practitioner, nurse midwifery, dental, medical, and pharmacy students to a virtual clinical simulation experience that uses oral‐systemic health as a clinical exemplar for promoting interprofessional core competencies. The present study examines changes in participating students’ self‐reported interprofessional competencies following participation in virtual TOSH from 2020 to 2022. These findings are also compared to those from in‐person TOSH (2019) to examine the equivalence of student outcomes of both the in‐person and virtual programs.MethodsA pre‐ and post‐test evaluation design was used to examine the effectiveness of exposure to the TOSH program on self‐reported attainment of interprofessional competencies for participating students using the interprofessional collaborative competency attainment scale.ResultsAnalysis of pre‐ and post‐surveys demonstrated statistically significant improvement in students’ self‐rated interprofessional experience competencies following the virtual TOSH program, which aligns with results from the in‐person cohorts. Similar findings between the in‐person and virtual cohorts indicated no statistically significant difference between the two formats.ConclusionThese findings demonstrate the success of TOSH in promoting attainment of interprofessional competencies among future health professionals. We encourage administrators and faculty who lead health professional programs to take advantage of using virtual simulations as an integral component of interprofessional oral health clinical experiences where students from different health professions learn from and about each other in assessing and treating patients across the lifespan.

“…As a result, the local application of any medicinal products (solutions, ointments, gels or pastes) is accompanied by the washing out from the mucous surface and impossibility of long-term fixation, as well as a decrease in the concentration of the active substance (in the composition of the medicinal product) due to its dilution with oral fluid (Kida et al, 2021). Therapeutic assistance to dental patients is an important component when considering human health as a whole (Lamster and Eaves, 2011;Sanders et al, 2021;Katakura, 2022). It is possible to optimize and facilitate the therapy of dental patients due to the development of a new DF in the form of DMF, which after application to the mucous membrane undergo a gradual biodestruction and release of API (Rokaya et al, 2018;Petrescu et al, 2022;Zhang et al, 2022).…”

Introduction: The treatment of most diseases in dentistry is related to the local application of antiseptic drugs that regulate the microbiocenosis in the oral cavity. The study of pharmacodynamic and kinetic parameters of the release of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) from the dosage form (DF) is an important task. In this study, we tried to evaluate the release of APIs from developed dental medicinal films (DMF) produced on a polymeric basis. Methods: To confirm the antimicrobial activity of the three developed DMF with amizon, decamethoxine and chlorhexidine digluconate, a statistical analysis and mathematical processing of the research results were carried out. Results: Statistical processing made it possible to organize the results of our earlier studies, in which the concentrations of three APIs (amizon, decamethoxine, and chlorhexidine digluconate) were determined during their diffusion from the polymer base of the DMF to the aqueous dispersion medium (0.9% sodium chloride solution). Due to performed statistical calculations, regarding the reliability of APIs release, it was determined that the time duration of complete release of the three active substances from the polymer base was different, which will ultimately affect the duration of the pharmacological effect of the APIs in the patient's body. Conclusion: In the manufacture of DMF on a polymeric base of hydrophilic type, it is necessary to take into account the release time of each API, according to the composition of the polymeric coatings.
