“…So, we need to understand that the majority of the population is at some point in life the carriers of the virus, since it is very easily transmitted. It is by no means a sign of infidelity if in a couple the only partner is a carrier, because may has been infected even decades ago [57][58].…”

“…The incidence of head and neck cancers has increased significantly in the last decade, including tumors in the oral cavity, tongue, oropharynx, hypopharynx and larynx. International data show that their frequency has increased sevenfold in the last 10 years and now affects 15-20 people per 100,000 people, making it the sixth most common cancer in men and women combined [57][58].…”

Oral cancer is frequently a squamous cell carcinoma. In Western countries it is more commonly found on the tongue and consists one of the most common malignancies in the oral mucosa. The exact causes of squamous cell carcinoma are not known. There are many risk factors such as chemical, biological, natural and other related to culture, habits, customs and traditions, religion and environmental influences at the national level and differ in different nations. Biological agents are viruses (such as the herpes simplex virus, HPV, HIV) and mycoses. Human papillomavirus (HPV), especially HPV subtype 16, is on the rise in young people with oral cancer who are not smokers. Epidemiological studies throughout world with the help of molecular techniques undoubtedly show the crucial importance of human papillomavirus (HPV) in growth squamous cell carcinoma. The sensitive anatomical unit of the tongue in cases of malignancy in pregnant women creates significant bioethical concerns that must be addressed with delicacy, discernment and responsibility by the oncology medical team. The contribution of the 9 valent vaccination, which provides protection against this oncogenic subtype of HPV 16 associated with squamous cell carcinoma, is likely to be valuable to young women and men, and may be recommended after future studies during pregnancy.

“…Explorations of dental practitioner barriers to vaccine promotion have favored quantitative methods over qualitative and have focused heavily on knowledge with some attention to other barriers [15]. Consequently, initial interventions have focused largely on practitioner education [16,17]. Behavioral and implementation scientists have long encouraged the use of theoretical frameworks and qualitative methods to gain a deeper understanding of practitioner barriers beyond knowledge alone prior to designing intervention strategies [18][19][20].…”

The human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine can prevent HPV-related oropharyngeal cancers. Dental practitioners are uniquely positioned to promote HPV vaccines during routine dental care but experience barriers to doing so. Qualitative interviews were conducted with dental practitioners to understand barriers and inform intervention strategies to promote HPV vaccines. Dental practitioners were invited to participate in phone interviews about knowledge, self-efficacy, and the fear of negative consequences related to HPV vaccine promotion as well as feedback on potential interventions to address these barriers. Interviews were audio recorded, transcribed, and analyzed using rapid qualitative analysis with a sort-and-sift matrix approach. Interviews were completed with 11 practitioners from six dental clinics (avg. 31 min). Though most thought HPV vaccination was important, they lacked detailed knowledge about when and to whom the vaccine should be recommended. This led to a hypothesized need for discussions of sexual history, feelings of limited self-efficacy to make the recommendation, and fear of patient concerns. Still, practitioners were supportive of additional training opportunities and provided input into specific interventions. The nuance of how these barriers were described by practitioners, as well as the possible solutions they identified, will help shape future interventions supporting HPV vaccine promotion in dental care.

“…Research shows that with adequate training, dentists are willing and able to offer support for vaccine advocacy [ 3 – 5 ]. In 2017, more than 31.1 million people in the U.S. sought care from a dentist, but not from their physician [ 6 ].…”

Background Human Papillomavirus associated oropharyngeal cancers have been on the rise in the past three decades. Dentists are uniquely positioned to discuss vaccination programs with their patients. The goal of this project was to assess the readiness of dentists in the state of Indiana in being able to administer vaccines. Methods An 18-question online survey was sent to licensed dentists in the state of Indiana. Mantel-Haenszel chi-square tests, followed by multivariable analyses using ordinal logistic regression were conducted to assess providers’ comfort levels and willingness to administer vaccines in both children and adults, by provider characteristics (practice type, location, and years in practice). Results A total of 569 completed surveys were included for data analyses. Most dentists (58%) responded positively when asked if they would consider offering vaccinations in their office, if allowed by state legislation. In general, dentists working in academic settings and federally qualified health centers were more agreeable to offering vaccination in their practice. The level of agreement with “Dentists should be allowed to administer HPV, Influenza, Hep A and COVID 19 vaccines” for both children and adults decreased with increased years of practice. More than half of the respondents (55%) agreed that dental providers were competent to administer vaccines and needed no further training. Conclusion The study results suggest the willingness of dentists in the state of Indiana to offer vaccinations in their practices, if allowed by legislation. Practical implications Dental providers can be a unique resource to add to workforce for improving vaccination efforts.
