The global burden of Oral Diseases and risks to Oral health
Bulletin of the World Health Organization, 2005Co-Authors: Poul Erik Petersen, D. Bourgeois, Hiroshi Ogawa, Saskia Estupinan-day, Charlotte NdiayeAbstract:This paper outlines the burden of Oral Diseases worldwide and describes the influence of major sociobehavioural risk factors in Oral health. Despite great improvements in the Oral health of populations in several countries, global problems still persist. The burden of Oral Disease is particularly high for the disadvantaged and poor population groups in both developing and developed countries. Oral Diseases such as dental caries, periodontal Disease, tooth loss, Oral mucosal lesions and oropharyngeal cancers, human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS)-related Oral Disease and orodental trauma are major public health problems worldwide and poor Oral health has a profound effect on general health and quality of life. The diversity in Oral Disease patterns and development trends across countries and regions reflects distinct risk profiles and the establishment of preventive Oral health care programmes. The important role of sociobehavioural and environmental factors in Oral health and Disease has been shown in a large number of socioepidemiological surveys. In addition to poor living conditions, the major risk factors relate to unhealthy lifestyles (i.e. poor diet, nutrition and Oral hygiene and use of tobacco and alcohol), and limited availability and accessibility of Oral health services. Several Oral Diseases are linked to noncommunicable chronic Diseases primarily because of common risk factors. Moreover, general Diseases often have Oral manifestations (e.g. diabetes or HIV/AIDS). Worldwide strengthening of public health programmes through the implementation of effective measures for the prevention of Oral Disease and promotion of Oral health is urgently needed. The challenges of improving Oral health are particularly great in developing countries.

Oral health information systems towards measuring progress in Oral health promotion and Disease prevention
Bulletin of The World Health Organization, 2005Co-Authors: Poul Erik Petersen, D. Bourgeois, Douglas Bratthall, Hiroshi OgawaAbstract:This article describes the essential components of Oral health information systems for the analysis of trends in Oral Disease and the evaluation of Oral health programmes at the country, regional and global levels. Standard methodology for the collection of epidemiological data on Oral health has been designed by WHO and used by countries worldwide for the surveillance of Oral Disease and health. Global, regional and national Oral health databanks have highlighted the changing patterns of Oral Disease which primarily reflect changing risk profiles and the implementation of Oral health programmes oriented towards Disease prevention and health promotion. The WHO Oral Health Country/Area Profile Programme (CAPP) provides data on Oral health from countries, as well as programme experiences and ideas targeted to Oral health professionals, policy-makers, health planners, researchers and the general public. WHO has developed global and regional Oral health databanks for surveillance, and international projects have designed Oral health indicators for use in Oral health information systems for assessing the quality of Oral health care and surveillance systems. Modern Oral health information systems are being developed within the framework of the WHO STEPwise approach to surveillance of noncommunicable, chronic Disease, and data stored in the WHO Global InfoBase may allow advanced health systems research. Sound knowledge about progress made in prevention of Oral and chronic Disease and in health promotion may assist countries to implement effective public health programmes to the benefit of the poor and disadvantaged population groups worldwide.

evaluation of community based Oral health promotion and Oral Disease prevention who recommendations for improved evidence in public health practice
Community Dental Health, 2004Co-Authors: Poul Erik Petersen, Stella Y L KwanAbstract:Systematic evaluation is an integral part of the organisation and delivery of community Oral health care programmes, ensuring the effectiveness of these community-based interventions. As for general health promotion programmes the common problems from effectiveness reviews of Oral health interventions relate to the quality and validity of programme evaluations. Problems identified mostly refer to the quality of outcome measures, short-term timescales to assess change, inadequate evaluation methodologies and inappropriate evaluation of programme implementation and processes. It remains a challenge to Oral health professionals to integrate community Oral health programmes into a wider health agenda. Public health research focusing on the development of evaluation methodologies has identified a variety of issues including the importance of using pluralistic evaluation approaches (quantitative and/or qualitative), limitations of the randomised controlled trial (RCT) design for evaluation of public health interventions, the need to match evaluation methods with the nature of intervention, development of outcome measures appropriate for the nature of intervention, importance of developing workforce capacity in evaluation techniques, and the need for development of partnerships between health practitioners and academics in conducting evaluations. In June 2003, the WHO Oral Health Programme at Headquarters organised a two-day workshop to take forward the development and documentation of the evaluation of Oral health promotion and Oral Disease prevention programmes. The aims of the workshop were to: (1) identify common problems and challenges in evaluating community-based Oral health interventions; (2) explore developments in the evaluation approaches in public health; (3) share experiences in evaluating Oral health intervention programmes implemented at national or community levels in developing and developed countries and (4) develop guidelines for quality evaluation of national and community Oral health programmes. Twenty-two invitees from 15 countries attended in addition to WHO staff. The first day was devoted to presentations of Oral health promotion and Oral Disease prevention programmes from around the world. During the second day, WHO staff at Headquarters in Geneva discussed aspects of evaluation of public health programmes. Two working groups were formed to discuss agreed topics, and the reports from their deliberations, together with the general discussion, resulted in the presentation of emerging key issues and recommendations. In summary, it was agreed that evaluation of Oral health promotion and Disease prevention programmes should integrate, whenever possible, with general health programmes. While the design and advantages of RCTs in clinical evaluations are well documented, the relevance of this design in evaluation of community Oral Disease preventive programmes and Oral health promotion programmes are much less clearly defined. Subsequently, the conduct of such programmes may be inappropriately evaluated in systematic reviews. There is a need for more research into appropriate immediate, interim and ultimate outcome measures, as well as process evaluation, an assessment that is poorly understood and practised less often than outcome evaluation. Guidance on potential design, conduct, and especially the evaluation, of community Oral Disease prevention programmes and Oral health promotion programmes should be developed and updated regularly. WHO Collaborating Centres could have a role in promoting good practice, training and collaboration between teams throughout the world. Centres undertaking systematic reviews should consider the guidelines given in the proposed WHO document when defining their evaluation criteria.

the geriatric syndrome and Oral health navigating Oral Disease treatment strategies in the elderly
Dental Clinics of North America, 2020Co-Authors: Leslie R HalpernAbstract:: Poor Oral health in the geriatric population is being framed as a potentially new geriatric syndrome; an Oral and maxillofacial geriatric syndrome. As such, the treatment of Oral Diseases will require a comprehensive approach that considers the multimorbidity of Disease, and polypharmacy that is precipitated/exacerbated by Oral and maxillofacial dysfunction. This is challenging because Oral Diseases are not 1 discrete systemic illness but a combination of many with common causes. This article presents a roadmap approach to evaluate symptoms and apply therapeutic strategies for 5 common Oral and maxillofacial dysfunctions seen in the elderly.
