Chronic oral diseases, such as caries and periodontal disease, may, in future, be treated by oral microbiome transplant (OMT) technology. OMT therapy would involve collecting a donor oral microbiome and transplanting into a recipient to either prevent or treat oral diseases linked to a change (i.e., dysbiosis) in the oral microbiome. Given the great promise of this technology, we must consider the ethical and practical implications of how it is developed to maximise its accessibility and affordability. Here, we examine ways that OMT technology might be commercialized in the context of equity and accessibility in both clinical or do-it-yourself settings...

INTRODUCTION: Dental settings were considered high risk settings for COVID-19. A Dental Public Health Team in East Scotland worked to risk assess each situation timeously to break chains of transmission. AIM: To present learning from routine data collected from contact tracing COVID-19 cases in the dental setting. DESIGN: Retrospective analysis of a routine data set of COVID-19 cases associated with a dental setting reported via the national contact tracing system for two health board areas in the East of Scotland...

Over 700 oral bacterial species have been identified in human populations, with ~200 bacterial species identified in any given individual mouth. The relationship between the oral microbiome and health is evidenced in many studies, with dysbiosis (a shift from a healthy to less healthy state of microbial community) associated with dental caries, periodontitis, halitosis and oral cancer. However, oral microbiome research to date has focused primarily on European populations, particularly those in large urban centres housing academic institutions with access to research funding...

There are important calls for greater inclusion of Indigenous and racialised communities in oral microbiome research. This paper uses the concept of racial capitalism (the extractive continuity of colonialism) to critically examine this inclusion agenda. Racial capitalism explicitly links capitalist exploitations with wider social oppressions e.g., racisms, sexism, ableism. It is not confined to the commercial sector but pervades white institutions, including universities. By using the lens of racial capitalism, we find inclusion agendas allow white institutions to extract social and economic value from relations of race...

Microbiome research is currently biased towards populations of European descent, with such populations providing a weak basis upon which to understand microbiome-health relationships in under-studied populations, many of whom carry the highest burdens of disease. Most oral microbiome studies to date have been undertaken in industrialized countries. Research involving marginalised populations should be shaped by a number of guiding principles. In the Indigenous Australian context, one useful framework is the Consolidated Criteria for Strengthening Reporting of Health Research involving Indigenous Peoples (CONSIDER) statement...

Advancing oral microbiome research has revealed the association between oral microbiome composition and oral disease. However, much of the research has predominantly focused on comparing health and disease conditions, overlooking the potential dental public health implications. This article examines the evolution of oral microbial research from inception, advancement, and current knowledge of health-associated microbiota. Specifically, we focus on two key aspects: the impact of lifestyle and environmental factors on the oral microbiome and using the oral microbes as a therapeutic modality...

OBJECTIVES: Adults who have learning disabilities are a vulnerable group, little is known about their oral health and how this affects their quality of life. The aims of this secondary analysis of data from the 2009 Adult Dental Health Survey (ADHS) were to describe the oral health status of adults with learning disabilities, determine if severity of learning disability is associated with oral health and identify some of the methodological complexities of working with this population...

BACKGROUND: Powered toothbrushes are an effective alternative to manual toothbrushes. Previous research found parents view powered toothbrushes as fun and motivating, although are less confident using them when children demonstrate resistant behaviour. Resistant child behaviour is a recognised barrier to achieving parental supervised brushing. Parents discuss strategies to address toothbrushing resistance on online parenting forums. OBJECTIVE: To explore how those posting on an online parenting forum discuss powered toothbrushes as a potential solution to toothbrushing resistance in young children...

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether different alcohol intake dimensions: average alcohol volume consumed (AVC), binge drinking (BD), and alcohol-related consequences (ARC) are associated with self-rated oral health (SROH). METHODS: Secondary cross-sectional analysis of The Brazilian National Health Survey of 2019 data. BD was considered when an individual reported a past-month heavy drinking episode. ARC referred to experiences such as past-year blackouts, concerns from others, or failure in routine activities...

Oral health is an integral part of overall health and critically affects quality of life as well as personal and social well-being. Poor oral health negatively influences general health and creates medical, financial and social burdens for individuals, families and health systems. The US Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (2021) sees use of the oral health care system as a leading health indicator. Oral health improvement is an important step to reduce socioeconomic inequalities and promote the UN Sustainable Development Strategy (Wang et al...

The adoption of Universal Health Coverage for oral health care will not be sufficient to ensure that health care resources are accessible in accordance with needs for care. Government intervention in planning and allocating resources will be required to replace traditional market forces if market failure is not to be replaced by government failure. In this paper we explore the limitations of current 'fixed in time' approaches to planning the oral health care workforce and present an enhanced dynamic model for workforce planning that responds directly to changes in population, evidence-based best practice and new models of care...
