“…Likewise, dentists' attitudes and skills regarding oral cancer practices are crucial in their engaging in such behaviors [20,33,34]. Results of the present study are in line with previously-published findings in relation to dentists' limited performance of full clinical oral cancer examinations and educating patients on risk factors relating to oral cancer [19,20,35]. If the faculty members do not perform full clinical oral cancer examinations and educate patients about its related risk factors, these kinds of behavior can be transmitted to their dental students [36].…”

“…Further, it was evident in a meta-synthesis that patients with late detection of oral cancer are more likely to be in an advanced stage of oral cancer [34]. Behavioral factors, such as the lack of oral cancer examinations, the lack of patient education about oral cancer as well as oral cancer self-examination, and delaying seeking out medical care were also found to be associated with oral cancer late detection [35].…”

“…Knowledge levels about HPV and HPV-OPC prevention have been positively associated with communication with patients about HPV and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among dental hygienists (Daley et al, 2018), and has been studied among dentists as well (Vázquez-Otero et al, 2018). Comfort in communicating to patients about HPV may be associated with educational level and gender in the dentist and dental hygienist professions (Vázquez-Otero et al, 2018; Poelman et al, 2018; Clarke et al, 2018). However, increased knowledge about HPV topics could address communication deficits and self-efficacy (Daley et al, 2011).…”

HPV oropharyngeal cancers have now surpassed cervical cancer rates in the US. Dental providers' engagement in HPV education and vaccination efforts may help reduce the burden of HPV oropharyngeal cancers. We examined factors associated with oral health students' willingness to train and administer the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine in dental settings. US students in 15 oral health programs participated in an online survey in 2016. Unadjusted and adjusted multivariable logistic regression were conducted and odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were reported. Analyses were conducted in SAS Version 9.4. Data from a total of N = 306 students were analyzed to examine sociodemographic, educational, practice, and attitudinal factors associated with willingness to train and administer the HPV vaccine. Majority of the participants were female (70.3%), non-Hispanic/Latino (90.8%), and White (62.1%). Perceiving that HPV vaccination recommendation (OR = 1.95, 95% CI = 1.14–3.35) and administration (OR = 3.79, 95% CI = 1.63–8.81) was in the dental professional's scope was positively associated with outcome measures when other factors were held constant. Students with greater patient contact time (OR = 4.47, 95% CI = 1.14–17.58) and lower role conflict (agreed that HPV vaccine administration was in the dental professional's scope) had higher odds of willingness to administer the HPV vaccine when other factors were held constant (OR = 5.9, 95% CI = 2.27–15.3). The major barrier to engaging oral health students in HPV vaccination efforts was role conflict. Professional organizations and oral health programs should strongly support the role of oral health professionals in HPV oropharyngeal prevention.

Oral cancer screening practices of Canadian dental hygienists

Abstract: Dental hygienists in this study are regularly conducting OCSs; however, they lack comfort discussing sensitive topics such as transmission of oral HPV, and screenings may not be fully comprehensive.
