Anticaries and Antigingivitis Properties of Cannabinoid-Containing Oral Health Products: A Review.

To evaluate the anticaries and antigingivitis properties of cannabinoid-containing oral health products. A systematic research strategy was employed. Specific search terms were used, including "Cannabinoids AND dental caries," "Cannabinoids AND oral health," "Cannabinoids AND dental plaque," "Cannabinoids AND gingivitis AND periodontitis," "Cannabinoids AND S.

Perceptions of Incivility Among Dental Hygiene Students and Faculty/Administrators.

While incivility has been part of higher education for many years, there has been a documented increase as both students and educators have begun to recognize this behavior and its effects on student learning, faculty satisfaction and stress. The purpose of this descriptive study was to investigate the perceptions of incivility among dental hygiene students and faculty/administrators. This study utilized a convenience sample of five dental hygiene programs in California.

A survey of cariology education in U.S. dental hygiene programs: The need for a core curriculum framework.

Objective: Dental hygienists play a key role in dental caries prevention and management. As the evidence of dental caries risk, prevention, and management becomes more complex, it is essential that dental hygiene (DH) programs have a strong cariology curriculum. This project aimed to assess current cariology content in U.

A best practices approach to caries management.

Unlabelled: Caries management by risk assessment represents best practices and is an evidence-based model that focuses on treating and preventing disease at the patient level rather than a surgical/restorative approach at the tooth level.

Background: Dental caries is a multifactorial, biofilm and pH mediated disease that affects people of all ages and disproportionally affects certain populations at epidemic proportions. Simply restoring cavitated teeth does nothing to resolve the disease.

California dental hygienists' knowledge, attitudes and practices regarding herbal and dietary supplements.

Purpose: As more Americans use dietary supplements, the potential for increased adverse effects increases. The purpose of this study was to identify the current knowledge, attitudes and practice behaviors among California dental hygienists regarding herbal and dietary supplements (HDS).

Methods: A stratified random sample of 1,203 registered California hygienists were surveyed.

Changing the face and practice of dentistry: a 10-year plan.

Jan. 7 through 9, 2011, the California Dental Association Foundation hosted a symposium on caries management by risk assessment in which a diverse range of stakeholders from across the nation gathered to discuss current and future status of CAMBRA. The consensus of the group was to develop a national strategic plan for CAMBRA implementation which will chart the course to improve the standard in caries disease management within the next decade.
