The behavioral and social sciences are central to understanding addressing oral craniofacial health, diseases, conditions. With both basic applied approaches, relevant every discipline in dentistry all dental, oral, sciences, as well health promotion programs care delivery.

Uniquely positioned highlight importance of racial, cultural, other...
To investigate whether the relationship between dental anxiety and referral for treatment under sedation is explained by attendance patterns oral health.Structural Equation Modeling was used on covariance matrix of covariates to test hypothesized inter-relationships. Subsequently, we modeled probability with a multiple logistic regression taking into account inter-relationships independent variables.A direct significant association detected, but not health status. However, were highly...
Introduction Artificial intelligence (AI)-based software can be used with dental radiographs to facilitate providers’ diagnoses and educate patients about their oral health conditions. The goal of this study was survey providers the use AI-enhanced in diagnostic patient education processes. Methods Within Community Collaborative Practice model, Apple Tree Dental Minnesota implemented an AI platform that annotates carious lesions periodontal measurements on radiographs. Before after...

Abstract Racism, an oppressive and fallacious sociopolitical hierarchy, is a fundamental cause of oral health inequities worldwide. Everyday discrimination associated with worse self-rated health, toothache adult tooth loss, lower care utilization. Few studies examine or microaggressions within settings their effects on outcomes. We adapted the seven-item Discrimination Scale to setting (EDSOC); developed four-item Dignity in Oral Care (DOCS); fielded them probability-based nationally...
It would be useful to have psychometrically-sound measures of dental fear for Hispanics, who comprise the largest ethnic minority in United States.
