Background: Nondental factors (ie, financial, psychological, or cultural considerations) can play a role in extraction requests. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether patients' perspectives on extraction without a valid clinical indication align with those of practitioners.
Methods: Dentists from 3 centers for special oral health care, oral and maxillofacial surgeons (OMFS) from 3 hospitals in the Netherlands, and their patients participated in this prospective observational study.
Background: This study aimed to evaluate the validity and reliability of the adult self-report and proxy version of the Trauma Screener-Intellectual Disability (TS-ID) in adults with mild intellectual disability or borderline intellectual functioning (MID-BIF). An optimal cut-off value was determined for the ratio of specificity to sensitivity for predicting the diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Methods: The TS-ID was adapted from a Dutch Child and Adolescent Trauma Screener, for use with adults with MID-BIF.
Article Synopsis
- Trauma and post-traumatic stress play a significant role in voice-hearing, and trauma-focused therapy (TFT) may help, but previous research has been inconclusive.
- The study aimed to evaluate the impact of TFT on voice-hearing in individuals with PTSD and psychosis, using daily questionnaires to assess changes over time.
- Results indicated that TFT led to a significant reduction in voice-hearing compared to a waiting-list control group, with improvements in PTSD symptoms also correlated with reductions in voice-hearing.
Article Synopsis
- Chronic painful temporomandibular disorders (TMD) and bruxism are often linked with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), but how to treat them together is unclear.* -
- A study found that evidence-based trauma-focused treatment led to significant decreases in chronic painful TMD, pain intensity, awake bruxism, and sleep bruxism over time, with improvements maintained at a 6-month follow-up.* -
- The findings suggest that addressing PTSD through trauma-sensitive treatments could benefit individuals suffering from both PTSD and chronic painful TMD, indicating a need for integrated therapeutic approaches.*
