“…Overall, the prevalence of tooth loss reduced in 2011–2014 when compared to NHANES III. The increasing offer of restorative treatment in 2011–2014 and the water fluoridation policies helped teeth retention and may explain the observed differences (Fellows et al, 2022). Moreover, we cannot rule out that half‐mouth periodontal examination had not impacted our results since molars (teeth index) are more likely to be extracted.…”

Aim To investigate the confluence of caries and periodontitis indicators from adolescence to elderhood among Americans. Materials and Methods This cross‐sectional study explored the grouping among a set of caries and periodontitis indicators (the proportion of sites with bleeding on probing, moderate probing pocket depth [PPD, 4–5 mm], severe PPD [≥6 mm], moderate clinical attachment level [CAL, 3–4 mm], severe CAL [≥5 mm], number of teeth with furcation involvement, number of decayed teeth, number of teeth with pulp involvement, and the number of missing teeth) in 14,421 Americans from the NHANES III study. Exploratory factorial analysis was used to determine the constructs between those indicators (factorial loading ≥0.3). These analyses were stratified by age and confirmed with a confirmatory factorial analysis. We also performed a sensitivity analysis using the NHANES 2011–2014. Results Two constructs were extracted. The first, Chronic Oral Diseases Burden, grouped caries indicators with moderate PPD and moderate CAL for the youngest subjects (13–39 years old), while for the subjects over 50 years, the Chronic Oral Disease Burden grouped caries indicators with severe CAL and PPD and furcation involvement. The second construct, Periodontal Destruction, grouped only periodontitis indicators. Conclusions Caries and periodontitis indicators grouped consistently across the different age ranges in lapse times of 25 years.

“…With unprecedented changes concerning scope of dental practice, student response of a lower sense of control over their professional lives appears rightly aligned. Dental practice now includes the possibility of vaccine administration and dissemination (COVID and HPV), diabetes testing and diagnosis, hypertension awareness and prevention, and even some calls for dentistry being considered for inclusion in the category of primary care 40–43 . Not only is the scope of dental practice changing, but the very nature of dental practice setting is as well.…”

“…Dental practice now includes the possibility of vaccine administration and dissemination (COVID and HPV), diabetes testing and diagnosis, hypertension awareness and prevention, and even some calls for dentistry being considered for inclusion in the category of primary care. [40][41][42][43] Not only is the scope of dental practice changing, but the very nature of dental practice setting is as well. Dental service organizations (DSOs), corporate entities that provide support and practice management for group practices are increasingly on the rise in presence, number and influence.…”

Objective Professionalism is a hallmark of health professions education. Professional identity formation is a growing field of exploration in medical education, and the dental literature is sparse on just how professional identity formation is developed and assessed within dental education. Methods The validated professional role orientation inventory (PROI) was administered to 2nd year dental students during a spring semester ethics course. The PROI includes four 10‐item scales representing four attitudinal factors: Authority, Responsibility, Agency, and Autonomy. Results When compared to a historical sample of dental students in the early 1990s, dental students today scored significantly higher on Responsibility (p = 0.0309) and lower on the Agency factor (p = 0.0001). Authority scores in the current sample of dental students were significantly associated with age and race, with an increase in age associated with a decrease in Authority (p = 0.0504) and Caucasian respondents demonstrating significantly higher scores than Asian or Other races. Debt was associated with differences in Autonomy (p = 0.0683) and Agency (p = 0.0106), with those in the 100k–300k anticipated debt range demonstrating lower levels of both Autonomy and Agency. Race was marginally associated with Responsibility with those in the Other race category (Hispanic, Black/African American, Other/Multiracial) demonstrating higher levels than Caucasian (p = 0.0513). Conclusion Dental students' scores denote a continued commitment to others yet a feeling of less sense of control as a practicing professional. A redefining of professionalism to include social activism and advancing health equity is required given their altruism and commitment to others, which remains high.
