“…Such a diet is the opposite of what is recommended for patients with diabetes. Moreover, increasing evidence suggests a relationship between oral health and other chronic diseases, including cardiovascular diseases, respiratory diseases, and cognitive decline (22,23). Thus, the importance of tooth retention in adults needs to be emphasized to both patients and health care providers.…”

“…The importance of necessary dental care and tooth retention needs to be further promoted among patients and clinical providers. Growing evidence shows that oral health is associated with general health (22). To control diabetes complications, an interprofessional and team-based approach is needed to ensure better care coordination and disease management (30).…”

“…For example, persons with chronic periodontitis are at a significantly increased risk of developing cardiovascular diseases compared to persons without this condition, 4 and poor periodontal health may worsen diabetes. 5 In addition, the systemic dysregulation of inflammatory responses can cause the concomitant development of oral health problems and other medical conditions. For example, patients with rheumatoid arthritis or dermatomyositis are at high risk of also having oral diseases due to the underlying inflammatory aetiologies of these conditions.…”

Linking medical and dental health record data: a partnership with the Rochester Epidemiology Project

et al. 2017

PurposeThe purpose of this project was to expand the Rochester Epidemiology Project (REP) medical records linkage infrastructure to include data from oral healthcare providers. The goal of this linkage is to facilitate research studies examining the role of oral health in overall health and quality of life.ParticipantsEight dental practices joined the REP between 2011 and 2015. The REP study team has linked oral healthcare information with medical record information from local healthcare providers for 31 750 participants who have resided in Olmsted County, Minnesota. Overall, 17 718 (56%) participants are women, 14 318 (45%) are 40 years of age or older and 26 090 (82%) are white.Findings to dateA first study using this new information was recently completed. This resource was used to determine whether the 2007 guidelines from the American Heart Association affected prescription rates of antibiotics to patients with moderate-risk cardiac conditions prior to dental procedures. The REP infrastructure was used to identify a series of patients diagnosed with moderate-risk cardiac conditions by the local healthcare providers (n=1351), and to abstract antibiotic prescriptions from dental records both pre-2007 and post-2007. Antibiotic prescriptions prior to dental procedures declined from 62% to 7% following the change in guidelines.Future plansDental data from participating practitioners will be updated on an annual basis, and new dental data will be linked to patient medical records. In addition, we will continue to invite new dental practices to participate in the REP. Finally, we will continue to use this research infrastructure to investigate associations between oral and medical health, and will present findings at conferences and in the scientific literature.

Elderly Welfare System and Role of Dental Hygienists in Korea and Japan

et al. 2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In accordance with the aged society, oral health care for the elderly is considered important to maintain general health. Although the role of dental hygienists is essential for proper health management of the oral cavity, research on the care system for the elderly people's oral health and on the role of dental hygienists in the field of elderly welfare is still insufficient. Hence, the aim of this study is to investigate the status of Korean elderly welfare system and dental hygienists by comparing them with those in Japan, a precedent of aged society. First, we compared and investigated the Japanese long-term insurance system, which provides an institutional basis for a long-term care system for the elderly in Korea. Second, the elderly welfare law and care system, focusing on oral care, were examined. Lastly, in elderly care, we analyzed the distinctions between Korea and Japan regarding dental hygienists' role and scope of work. Taken together, as a precedent of aged society, Japan has shown well-specialized and systematic welfare for the elderly compared with Korea. With the development of the welfare system for the elderly in Japan, the role and the work scope of dental hygienists have been expanded to improve quality of life of elderly people, as a key professional for elderly oral care. Therefore, we should perceive the need for improvement of long-term care insurance and the expansion of dental hygienists' work in Korea. In conclusion, these results could be used as basic data for improving the elderly welfare system and developing dental hygienists in Korea.
