Exploring the Integration of the Dental Hygiene Diagnosis in Entry-Level Dental Hygiene Curricula.

Conclusion: This exploratory study assessed the extent to which the DHDx is taught in entry-level dental hygiene programs. Findings confirmed that the DHDx is an integral component of dental hygiene education, but there is a need for standardization and faculty calibration for DHDx concepts and terminology. These results support adding DHDx into the Commission on Dental Accreditation (CODA) standards. PMID: 30143546 [PubMed - in process]
