“…There is an urgent need for dentists to train nurses in oral hygiene care, providing them with an introduction to common oral health problems and diagnostics, the link between oral and general health, and the assessment at all stages of diabetes and patient care. Providing enhanced oral health educational materials to vulnerable populations, and those in rural and underserved areas, can improve residents' knowledge and skill, allowing them to integrate oral healthcare into their daily practice [32,33].…”

Diabetes is known as a “silent epidemic” and is a public health problem that accounts for 9% of all deaths worldwide. The prevention of diabetes is a significant challenge, as its prevalence and incidence are both increasing rapidly. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), education is the cornerstone of diabetes treatment. Since the severity of oral diseases is significantly higher in diabetic patients, this systematic review aims to highlight the oral care of diabetic patients as a priority for glycemic control and the importance of education for diabetic patients’ oral health. We evaluated 20 clinical studies and 15 meta-analyses from PubMed and Google Scholar over the last five years. Their main themes are the direct relationship between diabetes and oral health, especially periodontitis, and the necessity of education and behaviors that can lead to a better quality of life. Our analysis indicated that good oral health is a critical factor of glycemic control in diabetic patients and can be enhanced by targeted educational programs, backed by long-term medical and dental follow-up. Healthcare personnel should be encouraged to develop their knowledge of oral health in relation to the disease so that behaviors can be adopted to improve patients’ quality of life. Telemedicine could also contribute to patient education and self-management of the disease.

“…Durante su formación los conocimientos se le han inculcado a través de la investigación lo que le permite un abordaje integral a la persona, familia y comunidad, sin embargo, su conocimiento sobre la salud oral ha demostrado ser deficiente, por lo que debido a esto no logra abordar las necesidades de salud oral de la población infantil a lo largo de su vida haciéndolo más propensos y vulnerables a aquellos problemas de salud agudos o crónicos que afectan a la cavidad oral. Es por ello, que su educación en salud oral por parte de la enfermera debe tener un pacto positivo para la salud oral y general de los niños 1,35,36 .…”

El actual incremento de enfermedades bucales en niños, es preocupante, a pesar que, existen estrategias de prevención y promoción de salud bucal, esto resulta insuficiente para cubrir las necesidades de los grupos vulnerables, ya que, no es el odontólogo con el que tienen mayor relación en su atención de salud, sino con la enfermera. Por tanto, su conocimiento y actitud puede permitir prevenir, detectar y derivar oportunamente los problemas de salud oral de los niños. El objetivo del estudio fue describir el estado del arte sobre el conocimiento y la actitud de las enfermeras en el cuidado de salud oral en infantes. Se realizó una búsqueda de artículos científicos en las bases de datos de Pub Med, Ebsco y Google Académico, se incluyeron artículos científicos indexados con una antigüedad máxima de cinco años, en idioma inglés, obteniéndose al final un total de 39 artículos que cumplieron los criterios de selección. Respecto al conocimiento y actitud de las enfermeras en salud oral infantil, se concluyó, que el conocimiento y la actitud eran deficientes, en diferentes lugares del mundo, a pesar que, durante su formación profesional reciben conocimientos acerca de estos temas. Asimismo, actualmente existe gran cantidad de evidencia científica relevante, de mucha utilidad para la labor de las enfermeras. Por consiguiente, requieren capacitación constante en temas de salud oral que le permita mejorar la calidad de atención del infante en el consultorio de crecimiento y desarrollo.

“…In every day’s busy and employment burdened parenting, caretakers and institutions have become important even more nowadays, not only for forming child general behavior and character, but also for maintenance of their general and oral health as well ( 3 , 6 , 7 ). There are many obstacles and challenges within this process, especially in institutionally oriented nurturing places (kindergartens) ( 3 , 6 , 7 ).…”

Objectives Dental caries first occurs within primary dentition in toddlers and preschool children, in a form of early childhood caries (ECC). In every day’s busy and employment burdened parenting, caretakers and institutions have become important even more nowadays, not only for forming child general behavior and character, but also for maintenance of their general and oral health as well. Aims To evaluate the presence and severity of ECC in children who attended public kindergartens in Sarajevo, and to offer basic information for the maintenance and improvement of child oral health to their parents and kindergarten teachers. Methods The study included 1722 preschool children aged 3-6 years who attended kindergartens within Sarajevo public kindergarten institution, together with their parents and kindergarten teachers. Dental team members gradually visited all kindergartens situated in four Sarajevo city municipalities and examined kindergarten children according to the WHO Oral Health Survey Manual. Oral health promotion material for parents and kindergarten teachers was also distributed simultaneously during sequential visits. Results ECC was present in preschool kindergarten children in Sarajevo, with its high prevalence (67.71%); dmft-value (3.97) and severity (SiC index 8.79). There was also a significant lack of dental healthcare to examined children mostly related to lack of visiting dental offices by children’s parents (CI=10.55%, RI=10.80%, TI=12.98%). Conclusion Parental role in preserving and improving of their children oral health should be systematically and profoundly improved. Kindergarten officials and staff should recognize the importance of anticariogenic diet menus and oral hygiene maintenance within their institutions.
