Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is associated with oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma. International estimates suggest overall oral HPV prevalence 7.5%, of types 16 and 18 being 1.6%; prior Australian 2.3%, HPV-16 HPV-18 1.3%.To estimate the among Indigenous Australians to report factors high-risk (ie, HPV-18) linked Heck disease HPV-13 HPV-32).This cross-sectional study analyzed screening results from saliva samples collected 1011 between February 2018 January 2019.

A sample 523 adults completed the short‐form Health Literacy Dentistry (HeLD‐14) Oral Impact Profile‐14 (OHIP‐14) instruments that measure OHL OHRQoL, respectively. prevalence ratios (PRs) for outcome variables their 95% CIs were quantified. Multivariable log‐binomial regression models applied, as statistical models,...
The aim of the study was to determine reliability, quality and readability content contained within informed consent forms concerning orthodontic retention retainers provided by treatment providers. An online search strategy identified for evaluation. DISCERN instrument used reliability. Each form assessed presence pre-determined regarding 11 domains. Analysis domain via a 4-point scoring scale. Simple Measure Gobbledegook (SMOG) Flesch-Kincaid Grade-Level (FKGL) were employed readability....
Abstract This study aimed to assess the psychometric properties of Brazilian version Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire (PSQ) which assesses satisfaction adolescents with orthodontic treatment. The PSQ is a 58-item self-report instrument presenting six subscales (doctor-patient relationship, situational aspects, dentofacial improvement, psychosocial dental function, and residual category). (B-PSQ) were assessed in cross-sectional 111 between 11-18 years who had undergone sample's features...
The objective was to compare absolute differences in the prevalence of Indigenous-related inequalities dental disease experience and self-rated oral health Australia, Canada, New Zealand. Data were sourced from national surveys Australia (2004 2006), Canada (2007 2009), Zealand (2009). Participants aged ≥18 y. authors measured age- sex-adjusted by estimating their corresponding 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs). Clinical measures included untreated decayed teeth, missing filled teeth;...
