Abstract
Assessment of the ergonomic risk from saddle and conventional seats in dentistry: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Highlights
Dental visits may be the only point of contact with the healthcare system, which heightens the importance of including diabetes risk assessment for patient well-being
This study aimed to evaluate the potential benefit of prediabetes risk assessment in the dental setting
The aim of this retrospective cohort study was to compare the risk of tooth loss due to periodontal disease between diabetic and non-diabetics and to estimate the relative risk of tooth loss according to the severity and control of diabetes
Summary
Differences in plantar pressure by REBA scores in dental hygienists. Kim J, Park B Y, Mun S J, Shim J, Choi E S, Noh H. A total of 8% of US adults had seen a dentist but not a medical provider in the past 12 months. The composition of this subpopulation was significantly different from that who saw a medical provider, in ways that might affect diabetes risk. From this subpopulation, 31% would be identified as high risk for prediabetes and 16% had HbA1c levels indicative of undiagnosed prediabetes or diabetes. Extrapolation indicates that screening for prediabetes at dental visits has the potential to alert approximately 22.36 million adults of their risk for prediabetes or diabetes
