“…Ličko-senjska županija s malim brojem korisnika zdravstvene zaštite ima najmanji broj pregleda (19 %), što se može opravdati slabijom dostupnošću dentalne zdravstvene zaštite i strukturom stanovništva. Studija provedena među Europljanima starijima od 50 godina pokazala je tendenciju porasta broja preventivnih pregleda i postupaka, posebice u Skandinaviji i Zapadnoj Europi, što se objašnjava različitim potrebama u korištenju i dostupnosti dentalne zdravstvene zaštite (12). Nedostatak vremena i površnost u svakodnevnom radu ne bi trebali biti razlozi koji utječu na obavljanje pregleda, posebice u županijama s mnogo korisnika zdravstvene zaštite i ugovornih timova, kao što je to slučaj u Gradu Zagrebu.…”

“…The Lika-Senj County with a small number of health care users had the lowest number of visits (19 %), which could be justified by less available dental care facilities and a population structure. A study carried out among Europeans of the age of 50 years and over showed a tendency of increase in the number of preventive examinations and procedures, especially in Scandinavia and Western Europe, which was explained by different needs in the use and availability of dental health care (12). The lack of time and superficiality in their daily work should not be the reasons affecting examination procedures especially in counties with a large number of health care users and numerous contractual teams, as in the City of Zagreb.…”

“…On the basis of these data the DMFT (decayed, missed, filled teeth) index is then calculated. It is an important indicator of oral health that allows the monitoring of prevalence, incidence, distribution and frequency of dental caries and the planning of necessary enhanced and targeted preventive measures and rehabilitation actions for the patients (11,12).…”

“…In a recent meta-analysis, Simning and Wijngaarden reported an estimated relative risk of 2.4 (95%CI 1.6, 3.7) for melanoma in male dentists, and to a lesser magnitude for female dentists (relative risk=2.0, 95% CI 1.1, 3.9) 14) . Although some of the previous reports argued that the elevated risks experienced by dentists may be related to social status level 2,36,37) or lifestyle (e.g., behavior related to sunlight exposure) 22) , the review by…”

We conducted a cohort study of 7,760 dentists in Taiwan between 2003 and 2007 to assess the risk of outpatient visit among dentists. Control groups included physicians and other health personnel. Over the 5-yr study period, the dentist cohort made a total of 270,712 outpatient visits, representing an incidence rate of 7,038 visits /10 3 person-years. Compared to physicians, dentists experienced a significantly reduced covariate adjusted rate ratio (ARR) for all-cause visits (ARR=0.59, 95%CI=0.58-0.59), as well as for nearly all other causes, except neoplasm (ARR=1.06, 95%CI=1.02-1.09). Compared to other health personnel, the dentists still experienced a significantly reduced ARR for all causes (ARR=0.70), but had a slightly but significantly increased risk for endocrine/metabolic/immunity (ARR=1.04, 95%CI=1.02-1.05) and mental (ARR=1.04, 95%CI=1.01-1.07) disorders. Although the dentists in Taiwan utilized lesser outpatient visits than did their medical colleagues, they tended to have slightly higher rates of outpatient visits for neoplasm, endocrine/metabolic/immunity disorders, and mental illnesses. Policy makers and hospital administrators must not overlook dentists' potentially unseen health problems. A mandatory periodical physical examination for dentists can seriously be considered.

BackgroundTo describe the frequency and impact of oral lesions and professional dental care costs in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) (i.e., Crohn disease [CD] or ulcerative colitis [UC]) compared to matched controls).MethodsIBD patients and matched controls were surveyed on general anamnestic information, eating and drinking habits, and oral health‐ and dental care‐related questions; IBD patients were additionally surveyed on oral lesions. Problems related to oral lesions and the amount of money spent for professional dental care in the past 12 months were defined as primary outcome parameters.ResultsAnswers from 1108 IBD patients and 3429 controls were analyzed. About 30% of the patients indicated having had problems with oral lesions, with CD patients having 46% higher odds and having them more often in a generalized form compared to UC patients. Further, self‐reported severe periodontitis increased the odds of having oral lesions by almost 2.3‐times. However, only about 12.5% of IBD patients were informed by their physician about oral lesions and about 10% indicated receiving treatment for them. Compared to controls, IBD patients required more often dental treatment and spent more money; specifically, UC and CD patients had 27 and 89% higher odds, respectively, for having spent ≥3000 DKK (ca. 440 USD) at the dentist compared to controls.ConclusionsIBD patients have more often oral health problems and higher expenses for professional dental care compared to matched controls. This included problems with IBD‐related oral lesions, but these are rarely addressed by the medical or dental team.
