Co-designing a film showcasing the dental experiences of community returners (ex-offenders).

Background: The oral health of over 90,000 individuals in UK prisons is four times worse than the general population. A recent scoping review on the oral health of prisoners inside the justice system highlighted the lack of research about what happens when they transition out of prison to become community returners.

Objectives: To co-design a film to showcase the dental experiences of community returners before and after they transition out of prison, change perceptions and inform oral health research priorities.

A Scoping Review of the Oral Health Status, Oral Health Behaviours and Interventions to Improve the Oral Health of Children and Young People in Care and Care Leavers.

Background: Children and young people (CYP) in care experience poorer physical health and overall wellbeing in comparison to their peers. Despite this, relatively little is known about what their oral health needs and behaviours are. The aim of this scoping review was to provide a global perspective on the oral health status and behaviours of CYP in care and care leavers.

Access to Dental Care for Children and Young People in Care and Care Leavers: A Global Scoping Review.

What is the evidence on the effectiveness of strategies to integrate oral health into primary care?

Data Sources And Search Strategy: Seven databases (MEDLINE, CINAHL, Embase, Scopus, ProQuest, Cochrane and Google Scholar) were searched up to the third week in June 2022. Keyword search terms were based on four key concepts: oral health, primary health, strategies, and integration.

Study Selection: Peer-reviewed studies that evaluated any strategies to integrate oral health into primary care (e.

A scoping review of interventions to improve oral health in prison settings.

Objective: To describe the characteristics of oral health interventions implemented in prison settings and explore the barriers and facilitators towards implementation.

Methods: Following Joanna Briggs Institute scoping review methodology, six databases were searched including Medline (R), Emcare, Embase, AMED, Cochrane and PsycINFO. A total of 978 studies were returned and screened.
