“…This finding is consistent with studies in Kuwait, Kenya and Finland that reported a negative attitude towards patient counselling about smoking among healthcare professionals who smoke compared to those who are nonsmokers (24)(25)(26). This provides insight into the fact that dentists hold strong beliefs that they serve as a role model to their patients (11,12).…”

“…Most dentists believe it to be their responsibility to help their patients with tobacco cessation or to prevent tobacco use. A study in India showed that 98.7% of dentists felt that they were responsible for providing tobacco cessation advice, and 94.7% reported that they were confident in providing tobacco cessation advice to their patients (7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12). A study among dentists in Kelantan, Malaysia showed that 72.7% were confident in giving such counselling.…”

Background: Prevalence of smoking in Sri Lanka shows a gradual reduction whilst the use of smokeless tobacco and areca nut shows an increasing trend. At present adequate numbers of smokeless tobacco / areca nut cessation counseling programs are not being carried out in Sri Lanka. As the Dental surgeons could play a signi cant role in smokeless tobacco / areca nut cessation activities, capacity building programmes for dental surgeons on smokeless tobacco/ areca nut control were carried out. The study was planned to evaluate the knowledge, attitude and practices related to smokeless tobacco/ areca nut control among dental surgeons. Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted. Two questionnaires were used to assess the improvement of knowledge and change of attitudes following programmes on smokeless tobacco / areca nut control. Results: There were 663 participants in the study. 27.1% of them had received formal tobacco cessation training in the past. Majority had a good knowledge on harmful effects of smokeless tobacco but not on areca nut. Their knowledge on the current legislation on smokeless tobacco control in Sri Lanka and carcinogenicity of areca nut was not satisfactory. Almost all agreed that proper counseling leads to patient quitting the habit, a formal training is necessary to conduct tobacco control activities and it should be the part of the regular treatment modalities.

Background:The habit of tobacco consumption has plagued all nations from time immemorial. While tobacco use is decreasing in many developed countries, it is increasing in developing countries like India. Health care professionals have a key role to play to motivate and advise tobacco users to quit.Aim:The aim was to assess the attitudes and practice of dental professionals in Mumbai and Navi Mumbai toward tobacco cessation and the potential barriers faced.Materials and Methods:Questionnaire-based survey was conducted with 500 dental surgeons in Mumbai and Navi Mumbai. The questionnaire contained close-ended questions and assessed the smoking status of the professional, whether they impart tobacco cessation advice to their patients, whether the professional is trained for basic intervention, whether they would be eager to undergo training and also the potential barriers encountered by the professional.Statistical Analysis Used:The SPSS version 17 was used. Frequencies and percentages were used to determine distributions of the responses for each of the variables. Chi-square test was used for analysis.Results:It was observed that the majority of dental clinicians do not use tobacco and although 93% believed that it is the role of the dental professional to offer advice, 21% do not. Potential barriers reported were: Little chance of success, lack of training, lack of time, lack of remuneration, and the possibility of losing patients.Conclusions:Dental professionals must expand their horizon and armamentarium to tobacco intervention strategies inclusive of their regular preventive and therapeutic treatment modalities. Furthermore, the dental institutions (schools) should include tobacco intervention in the curriculum, but it should not be just theoretical knowledge rather it must have a practical component.

Once receiving training on tobacco cessation the graduation students and dental health professionals perceive significantly reduction on the pointed barriers [43].…”

24 ResumoObjetivo: O uso do tabaco é a principal causa de doenças evitáveis no mundo. A consulta odontológica representa uma oportunidade de abordar os fumantes no controle do uso do tabaco. Embora esta conclusão seja bem conhecida, a intervenção para cessação tabágica entre dentistas permanece menos explorada do que o esperado. Este estudo avaliou artigos publicados sobre intervenções entre dentistas e profissionais de saúde dentária na cessação do tabagismo e discute as barreiras a serem superadas para atingir esse objetivo. Material e Métodos: As bases de dados Medline (PubMed), Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane Reviews, LILACS e Google Scholar foram pesquisadas por artigos publicados em inglês entre janeiro de 2010 e dezembro de 2016 usando os seguintes termos MeSH: tobacco use cessation, smoking cessation, tobacco use disorder and dentistry. A busca manual complementar para potenciais artigos foi feita verificando-se referências bibliográficas. Resultados: setenta e duas publicações foram elegíveis e os resultados foram divididos em oito categorias: 1) o papel dos dentistas no controle do uso do tabaco; 2) conhecimento sobre tratamento e intervenções sobre uso do tabaco; 3) características da abordagem do dentista aos fumantes; 4) barreiras e facilitadores; 5) intervenções futuras para cessação do tabagismo, 6) reembolso de intervenções de tabaco, 7) pesquisas e 8) revisões sistemáticas e diretrizes. Conclusão: Os dentistas desempenham um papel importante na prevenção e controle do tabagismo. O treinamento na cessação do uso do tabaco tem aumentado nas últimas décadas. Ensinar a lidar com o tabagismo em cursos de graduação deve ser uma prioridade para os próximos anos, de modo que uma nova geração de dentistas incorpore ABsTRACTObjective: Tobacco use is the leading cause of preventable illness in the world.
