The primary dental care services in Oldham, Greater Manchester have established an innovative scheme to encourage diversity in primary dental care services. The scheme involves the recruitment of bilingual trainee dental nurses in order to improve accessibility and appropriateness of the services and to improve communication with Pakistani and Bangladeshi patients. The scheme has raised a number of issues for trainees, existing staff and management. However all groups evaluated the scheme as worthwhile. Achievements of the scheme include better communication, better understanding of different ethnic communities among the staff and increased confidence and employability of trainees. It is recommended that similar schemes be adopted for primary dental care and other health services in areas with significant ethnic minority populations.

Benefit Design and Access to Dental Care Among Seniors With Medicare Advantage Dental Benefits.
JAMA Health Forum
January 2025
Division of General Internal Medicine and Primary Care, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts.
Importance: Although Medicare Advantage plans frequently offer dental benefits, enrollees report lower rates of dental care use and higher rates of unmet dental need compared with individuals with employer-sponsored benefits. It is unknown which attributes of Medicare Advantage dental plans are associated with enhanced dental care access.
Objective: To determine attributes of Medicare Advantage dental plans associated with higher rates of dental care use and lower rates of unmet dental need.
Trauma-Induced Stress Distribution in Primary Incisors Restored With Preformed Zirconia Crowns: 3D Finite Element Analysis.
Dent Traumatol
January 2025
Division of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Deformities, Centre for Dental Education and Research, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Delhi, India.
Background/aims: Preformed zirconia crowns have emerged as the preferred choice for restoring damaged primary incisors. However, they differ from natural teeth in their biophysical properties and can potentially alter the overall response of crowned teeth to a traumatic load. This in silico study aimed to compare the response of three different traumatic loading conditions for the (i) natural (M1) and (ii) zirconia-restored tooth models (M2) models.

Background: The growing demand for esthetic restorative materials highlights the need to evaluate their marginal accuracy and fracture resistance to ensure optimal clinical outcomes for primary molars.
Aim: The aim was to assess the vertical marginal gap distance and fracture resistance of esthetic restorative materials after cyclic loading.
Design: Forty extracted primary molars were randomly divided into four groups: Group I, stainless steel veneered crowns with tooth-colored material; Group II, prefabricated monolithic zirconia crowns; Group III, yttria-partially stabilized zirconia computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) crowns; and Group IV, hybrid ceramic CAD/CAM crowns.
