“…Oral health can be influenced by individual experiences, perceptions, values, expectations, adaptive strategies, behaviors, and actions of people and communities. 1 Quality of life is the individual perception about his/her expectations and position in life, context, and values, and it is not properly measured by clinical health indicators alone. 2 In turn, oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) measurements have been developed to address the limitation of these clinical indicators and to help informing the development of public health programs.…”

Aim To evaluate and understand the impact of dental treatment on oral health‐related quality of life (OHRQoL) of adolescents. Design A sequential explanatory mixed‐methods design was performed. A sample of 182 adolescents, aged 10 and 15 years old who had finished their dental treatment at adolescent dental clinic of Federal University of Santa Maria from 2010 to 2016, were included. Participants answered the short form of Child Perceptions Questionnaire (CPQ11‐14) prior to their dental treatment and 1 month after concluding the treatment. The effect size was calculated to assess magnitude of change. In qualitative phase, semi‐structured interviews took place at the end of the dental treatment. Interviews were audio‐recorded and analyzed according to thematic analysis following Braun and Clarke. Results The effect sizes ranged from 0.35 to 1.00, and the oral symptom domain presented the greatest effect. Sixteen interviews were conducted and five themes emerged: concept of quality of life, oral health influenced by oral conditions, oral health symptoms influencing seeking care behavior, personal and subjective experiences, and dental educational environment. Conclusion Dental treatment has an uncountable meaning for adolescents because it has a psychosocial meaning in this phase of life and it is able to improve their OHRQoL.

“…8 In 2016, the FDI (Federation Dentaire Internationale) World Dental Federation adopted a new definition of oral health, encompassing the dynamics of genetic and biological factors, social environment, physical environment, health behaviors and access to care, and elements that modify oral health including age, culture, income, experience, expectations, and adaptability. 9 The federation framed these factors into a context that supports overall health and well-being. Structural determinants and conditions including income, race/ethnicity, education level, work opportunities, living in an urban or rural environment, social policy, and access to health care are recognized for their contribution to health inequities and are collectively known as social determinants of health (SDH).…”

Approaching patient care from a holistic perspective, incorporating not only the patient's medical and dental history but also psychosocial history, improves patient outcomes. Practitioners should be trained to provide this style of care through inclusive education, including training working on interprofessional teams. A component of this education must incorporate social determinants of health into the treatment plan. Social determinants of health include income, race/ethnicity, education level, work opportunities, living conditions, and access to health care. Education regarding social determinants of health should be woven throughout dental curricula, including hands-on application opportunities. This education must extend to patient care situations rather than be limited to didactic settings. This article explains the need to incorporate social determinants of health into dental education and illustrates how social determinants education is being addressed in two U.S. dental schools' curricula, including how to weave social determinants of health into interprofessional education. These descriptions may serve as a model for curricular innovation and faculty development across the dental education community.
