Article Synopsis
- The study focused on understanding patient perceptions of comprehensive dental services at a Primary Health Center (PHC), highlighting the importance of patient feedback for quality enhancement and service utilization.
- Using a phenomenological interpretive research approach, the study involved interviews with 12 participants (predominantly female) to gather their views on the dental services received.
- Results indicated generally positive perceptions but also identified key areas for improvement, offering valuable insights to enhance the quality of care provided at the PHC.
Article Synopsis
- * A scoping review was conducted, analyzing 12 studies from various databases, resulting in four main themes: risk factors for ROHD, its characteristics, management challenges, and effective management strategies for older adults.
- * The findings emphasize that ignoring ROHD can severely impact the quality of life, potentially lead to systemic health issues, and underline the need for a collaborative approach to oral health care in the aging population.
Objectives: Chronic periodontitis and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are associated with cognitive decline when examined individually. To gain deeper insight into the combined effects of these conditions on cognitive decline, the present study aimed to examine the cognitive status of individuals with co-occurring T2DM and chronic periodontitis.
Methods: We recruited 220 participants categorized into four groups: Group I, healthy subjects; Group II, individuals with chronic periodontitis; Group III, individuals with T2DM; and Group IV, individuals with both T2DM and chronic periodontitis.
