Prevalence of complete edentulism among US adults 65 years and older: A Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System study from 2012 through 2020

Penicillin allergy reassessment for treatment improvement: A dental office tool to support appropriate penicillin allergy labeling
CONCLUSIONS: Patient and HCW feedback on the PARTI tool was used to finalize a tool for the dental office to provide to patients who are candidates for PCN allergy reassessment. The feedback will also be used to inform an upcoming pilot study in US dental offices, focused on the process for PCN allergy reassessment and health record documentation.PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS: Deploying the PARTI tool in dental offices is pivotal, as mislabeling patients with PCN allergies could have severe consequences, such as hindering the prescription of lifesaving antibiotics for conditions like endocarditis, in the future. This implementati...

Effectiveness of wearing glasses with green lenses on dental anxiety for third-molar surgery: A randomized clinical trial
CONCLUSIONS: Patients with anxiety could wear low-cost, easy-to-use glasses with green lenses for 10 minutes before an operation to reduce anxiety and heart rate. In addition, wearing glasses during the surgical procedure can reduce intraoperative pain.PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS: By means of using glasses with green lenses throughout the procedure, existing anxiety and pain can be reduced. An operation can be performed more comfortably for both the patient and the dentist. This clinical trial was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov. The registration number is NCT05584696.PMID:38520420 | DOI:10.1016/j.adaj.2024.02.006 (Source: Jou...
