“…This led to suggestions for the integration of oral health and the use of allied personnel or ancillary staff in the PHC system especially since oral health education does not require highly skilled personnel. This agrees with suggestions made by various researchers 9,12,14-29 on the use of less intensely trained personnel. Many opportunities exist for the members of the PHC team and voluntary workers to give advice on oral care 30 …”

The limited access to oral health care in developing countries can be greatly improved by integrating oral health into the Primary Health Care (PHC) system. This study was designed to assess the views of PHC workers on integrating oral health care into the PHC system. A self-administered questionnaire survey was conducted in two selected local government areas of Lagos State. The instrument contained three sections assessing sociodemographic features, knowledge of common oral diseases and views on integration of oral health into PHC respectively. The mean knowledge score was 7.75 (SD=±1.81), while 60.4% of the respondents had average knowledge scores. Educational status (P=0.018) and designation (P=0.033) were significantly related to the mean knowledge scores. There was no significant difference in the oral health knowledge of the various cadres (P=0.393). Majority (85.4%) of the respondents were willing to include oral health education in their job schedule and 82% believed they needed more training on oral health. The knowledge of the respondents on the causes of the common oral diseases was deficient. Oral health education should be included in the future curriculum of these personnel.

“…In particular, the current model of oral health service that focuses on treatment with user payment, cost recovery, private insurance and public-private partnerships means the market organisation drives patient selection (Grytten and Golst 2013). This, in turn, limits elderly people's access to services in RACFs, especially those from lower socioeconomic groups, those living in rural/ remote areas, or those who are mentally or physically frail (Cane and Butler 2004).…”

The oral health of older people living in residential aged care facilities has been widely recognised as inadequate. The aim of this paper is to identify barriers to effective engagement of health-care providers in oral care in residential aged care facilities. A literature review was conducted using MEDline, CINAHL, Web of Science, Academic Search Complete and PsychInfo between 2000 and 2013, with a grey literature search of government and non-government organisation policy papers, conference proceedings and theses. Keywords included: dental/oral care, residential aged care, health-care providers, barriers, constraints, and limitations. A thematic framework was used to synthesise the literature according to a series of oral health-care provision barriers, health-care provider barriers, and cross-sector collaborative barriers. A range of system, service and practitioner level barriers were identified that could impede effective communication/collaboration between different health-care providers, residents and carers regarding oral care, and these were further impeded by internal barriers at each level. Findings indicated several areas for investigation and consideration regarding policy and practice improvements. While further research is required, some key areas should be addressed if oral health care in residential aged care services is to be improved.

“…For instance, one study has shown that the delegation of basic community oral health services such as dental education or emergency care to other health professionals in the CHCs can help dentists and dental nurses improve the program . 28 However, this delegation should be supervised by a dental professional in order to maintain quality. Regulation that forbids all clinical services outside formal health facilities is also unfavorable in terms of optimizing resources.…”
