“…Volgens Matevosyan (2009) is vooral bij psychiatrische patiënten het belang van een goede mondgezondheid onderbelicht en behoeft mondzorg bij deze patiëntengroep meer aandacht. Onderzoeksresultaten over de mondgezondheid van personen in gevangenissen laten naar verhouding meer mondziekten zien (Heidari et al, 2007;McGrath, 2002;Werkhoven et al, 2004;BuunkWerkhoven et al, 2010a;Buunk-Werkhoven et al, 2010b). Door allerlei omstandigheden is preventieve mondzorg niet zonder meer vanzelfsprekend in de behandeling van justitiabelen.…”

Onderzoek en wetenschapOm de effecten van een nieuwe preventieve mondzorgbenadering voor patiënten met terbeschikkingstelling te bepalen werden 3 onderzoeken met een Nederlandse versie van de Oral Health Impact Profile-14 uitgevoerd. In het eerste onderzoek werd vastgesteld dat de psychometrische kenmerken van dit meetinstrument goed waren en dat aandacht voor mondverzorging een positieve bijdrage leverde aan de levenskwaliteit. Uit het tweede onderzoek met gebruikmaking van een verbeterde versie van het meetinstrument bleek dat de patiënten met een hoge mate van behandelangst en een slechte mondgezondheid een lagere levenskwaliteit rapporteerden. Het derde onderzoek illustreerde dat een effectief uitgevoerde persoonlijke mondverzorging een belangrijke rol kan spelen in de reductie van halitose en in de bevordering van de levenskwaliteit. Bovendien bleek de retrospectieve versie van het meetinstrument een bruikbare methode om levenskwaliteit gerelateerd aan mondgezondheid te meten en veranderingen daarin binnen een relatief korte periode te evalueren.Buunk-Werkhoven YAB, Verheggen-Udding EL, Heuvel JLM van den.

“…Arti cles detailing prevalence in a single prison population were more common than those that compared the prevalence in 'comparative' non-institutionalised populations resulting from National Surveys. 3,4,11,[16][17][18][19] One study compared the oral health of present or former her oin addict inmates to non-drug addict inmates, 15 another evaluated the health of female former substance abusers. 20 Due to the heterogeneous nature of the studies in terms of study design, institution type (state vs federal, single sex vs mixed), setting and population, data have not been synthesised.…”

“…Where clinical meas urements were taken, attempts were cedures, eg with reference to published standards of use 16 or guidelines, 1,2,7,21,22 though the number of teeth examined (28 vs 32) and/or the use of radiographs in the examination was not always specified. The attempt to reduce poten tial bias by standardising procedures was particularly evident for the com parator studies, 3,4,16 where assessment of the inmate population was closely related to the use of national or state studies. Despite standardisation and calibration measures being employed, only two studies explicitly reported reliability values.…”

“…The earliest studies showed that den tal research could be combined with existing dental screening programmes for new inmates, in order to provide fundamental and valuable information on the dental characteristics and serv ice utilisation needs of prison inmates. The number of studies of prevalence of oral diseases as assessed primarily by measures of decayed, missing and fi lled teeth/surfaces (DMFT/DMFS) and by self-report measures as components of general health surveys have increased greatly in recent times, expanding from the United States to Australia, 1 Europe, [2][3][4][5] China 6 and South Africa. 7 The increased volume of dental research with inmates can be viewed at least in part as a corollary of state and worldwide initiatives into oral health.…”

An investigation of the nature of research into dental health in prisons: a systematic review

• Provides an overview of the oral health of inmates, based on epidemiological research undertaken in this area.• Details why such research is necessary, the problems involved in conducting such research, and informs on methods of good practice.• Highlights the lack of available information on service delivery and organisation in prison institutions. I N B R I E F RESEARCHObjectives To establish the nature of research into dental health undertaken in prisons. Data sources Databases were searched electronically. This process was supplemented by hand searching of references. Data selection Two independent reviewers made initial selections and subsequently carried out full text screening. Discrepancies were discussed with a third reviewer and disagreements were resolved by consensus. Data extraction Fifty potentially relevant studies were identifi ed and further screened for inclusion. Of this number, 29 studies were excluded; the remaining 21 were deemed appropri ate to include in the review. The primary focus of the papers identified was the oral health status of inmates, assessed by clinical examinations of decayed, missing and filled teeth (DMFT) and periodontal status, and self-report measures of oral health behaviours and service utilisation. Attempts were made to reduce sources of bias by selecting random samples of inmates and standardising measurement techniques, and addressing potential confounding effects. Few studies considered the potential impact of socio-economic status on disease levels. In some studies the oral health of inmate populations was compared to that of non-institutionalised individuals. Studies report high prevalence of oral disease, though precise levels differ according to the composition of the samples. Conclusions The heterogeneity of populations studied and methods of assessment precludes simple generalisation, but the consistent trend appears to be that the oral health status of inmates is poor and also poor in comparison with non-institutionalised individuals where appropriate comparisons have been made.

Oral health services in prison settings: A global scoping review of availability, accessibility, and model of delivery

This review aimed at evaluating the state of availability, accessibility and model of delivery of oral health services in prisons, globally. Five databases of peer‐reviewed literature and potential sources of grey literature were systematically searched. Inclusion criteria encompassed oral health papers related to prisons globally, with exclusion of certain article types. Selection involved independent evaluations by two researchers, followed by quality assessment. Data on the availability of oral health interventions in prisons came from 18 countries, while information on the model of delivery of the services is scarce. In addition, two sets of individual and organizational barriers toward oral health service uptake in prisons were revealed and discussed in the text. Lack of oral health services in prisons affects people living in prisons and jeopardizes their reintegration. Urgent and concrete international actions are required to ensure the availability, accessibility, and quality of oral health services among people living in prisons.

Oral health of remand prisoners in HMP Brixton, London

Abstract: Remand prisoners have compromised general and oral health compared with the general population. They exhibit poor oral health, which is contributed to by their lifestyles and health behaviours.
