Trends in dental visits among US adults from 1997 through 2019: Implications for policy reform
CONCLUSIONS: Relative to urban locales, rural communities experienced persistent disparities in the use of the oral health care delivery system throughout the 23 years measured. Strategies to create innovative models of care are needed to address oral health needs in underserved rural communities.PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS: Policy is needed to foster a shift toward population health that will incentivize a health care system that reduces financial barriers and enhances health outcomes for adult oral health, especially for rural areas.PMID:38363251 | DOI:10.1016/j.adaj.2023.11.016 (Source: Journal of the American Dental Association)

Sleep bruxism: The past, the present, and the future-evolution of a concept
CONCLUSIONS AND PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS: The neurophysiology of SB appears to be leaning more toward central rather than peripheral factors. There is increasing evidence of the role of the autonomic nervous system, genetics, and comorbidities in the genesis of SB. The scientific literature seems to refute the role of dental occlusion in the causation of bruxing movements. As per the literature, there has been a paradigm shift in the definition and genesis of SB and its possible dental implications and management, which also highlights the need for succinct scientific studies in this regard.PMID:38363252 | DOI:10.1016/j.adaj...

Evaluating the type of pediatric dental care use in the context of neighborhood opportunity
CONCLUSIONS: Children with preventive, caries treatment, and dental GA visits were more likely to live in neighborhoods with better SDH. Future efforts should investigate the mechanisms by which area-level factors influence dental access and use.PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS: Neighborhood factors influence pediatric dental care use. Patient home addresses might add value to caries risk assessment tools and efforts by care networks to optimize efficient care use.PMID:38340112 | DOI:10.1016/j.adaj.2023.11.015 (Source: Journal of the American Dental Association)

Evidence-based clinical practice guideline for the pharmacologic management of acute dental pain in adolescents, adults, and older adults: A report from the American Dental Association Science and Research Institute, the University of Pittsburgh, and the University of Pennsylvania
CONCLUSIONS AND PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS: Nonopioid medications are first-line therapy for managing acute dental pain after tooth extraction(s) and the temporary management of toothache. The use of opioids should be reserved for clinical situations when the first-line therapy is insufficient to reduce pain or there is contraindication of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Clinicians should avoid the routine use of just-in-case prescribing of opioids and should exert extreme caution when prescribing opioids to adolescents and young adults.PMID:38325969 | DOI:10.1016/j.adaj.2023.10.009 (Source: Journal of the American Dental Association)
