- Abstract
ABSTRACTPhosphine (PH3) is a methyl bromide alternative with the potential to control surface pests of New Zealand avocados as a pre-export disinfestation treatment. ‘Hass’ avocado fruit were treated with PH3(as ECO2FUME® (2% PH3, 98% CO2(w/w); Cytec Industries Inc.)). at 500, 750 and 1,500 ppm for 24, 48 and 72 h at 5–6 °C, along with vials containing mould mites (Tyrophagus communis) and greenhouse thrips (Heliothrips haemorrhoidalis). Fruit were then stored at 5 °C for three weeks, external quality assessed, and internal fruit quality assessed after ripening at 20 °C. PH3treatments had no impact on external fruit quality, nor on skin colouration, and only minor increase in softening compared to control at 24 h, but not 48 or 72 h. Complete (100%) mortality was achieved for thrips at all PH3concentrations for 48 h. However, only ∼50% mould mite mortality was achieved at the highest PH3concentration of 1,500 ppm for 72 h; although this treatment did provide a significant reduction in rots and internal disorders. This initial study demonstrates that longer-duration treatments and higher PH3concentrations improves fruit quality compared with controls, mainly by reducing rots. These treatments fully controlled thrips but provided only partial control of mould mites.

- Abstract
A series of experiments were carried out to develop a phytosanitary disinfestation protocol to kill Ceratitis capitata(Weidemann) (Mediterranean fruit fly, Diptera: Tephritidae) in ‘Hayward’ kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa(A. Chev.) C.F. Liang and A.R. Ferguson) and ‘Zesy002’ kiwifruit (Actinidia chinensisPlanch.). Experiments on 4 immature life stages (eggs and 3 larval instars) with treatment durations of between 5 and 18 days showed that third instars were the most tolerant to temperatures around 3 °C, with the lethal time to 99.9968% (probit 9) mortality (LT99.9968) estimated to be 17.3 days (95% confidence interval (CI) 16.4–18.2). Larvae reared and treated in ‘Zesy002’ were significantly more susceptible to cold treatment than those reared in ‘Hayward’. A large-scale trial testing a disinfestation protocol of 3 ± 0.5 °C for 18 days treated over 500,000 third-instar C. capitatawith no survivors. These results demonstrate that a cold treatment of 3.5 °C or below for 18 days induces C. capitatamortality in kiwifruit at a rate that exceeds 99.9968% with a degree of confidence greater than 99%.

Weyrich, Laura S., Nath, Sonia, and Jamieson, Lisa
- Abstract
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. We do this while assuming that the technology can be developed for humans in ways that are safe and effective at the individual and population-levels. We highlight the need for OMT therapy to be 1) cost-effective, 2) understood by end users and clinicians, 3) easy to access even in rural or remote communities, and 4) providing donors equitable compensation for their microbiomes. These key elements will only be achieved through partnerships between scientists, clinicians, investors and stakeholders throughout development. Therefore, proper acknowledgement and equitable evaluation of contributions in this team will also be critical to ensuring that this technology can be globally accessed. While OMT is likely to reshape how we prevent or treat oral disease, consciously guiding its development toward equity and accessibility to all people may significantly aid in improving health for those without access to dental care.

Nath, Sonia, Weyrich, Laura, Zilm, Peter, Kapellas, Kostas, and Jamieson, Lisa
- Abstract
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. The complex interaction of host intrinsic, environmental, and lifestyle factors affects the occurrence and development of the oral microbiota. The article highlights the need for ongoing research that embraces population diversity to promote health equity in oral health research and integrate public health practices into microbiome-based research. The implication of population-level interventions and targeted approaches harnessing the oral microbiome as an intervention, such as oral microbiome transplantation, should be further explored.

McCormick, Kym Michelle, Ribeiro Santiago, Pedro Henrique, and Jamieson, Lisa
- Abstract
Aim: Grounded in Andersen’s Behavioral Model (ABM), this study aims to explore the network of causal relationships between those factors influencing oral health self-management behavior during the COVID-19 pandemic in Australia. Subject and methods: Data were obtained from the Australian population. Participants (N= 565) aged between 19 and 91 years (M= 54.50, SD= 16.16) provided online responses between June 2021 and May 2022. The majority of participants were female (60.9%), employed either full-time (37.65%) or part-time (22.02%), and had completed an undergraduate degree or higher (70.1%). We implemented a triangulated approach, utilizing multiple modeling methodologies including the Gaussian graphical model (GGM), directed acyclic graph (DAG), and structural equation modeling (SEM). These methodologies were employed in three predetermined stages using a single cross-sectional dataset. Results: A causal model elucidating the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on oral health self-management behavior was uncovered. The resulting GGM displayed an acceptable fit to the observed data. The DAG structure conformed to that expected by ABM, with all directed edges being also present as edges in the GGM. The subsequent SEM model specified by the DAG provided excellent fit to the data. Conclusion: Our study offers empirical evidence that factors such as appointment availability, dental care affordability, and the opportunity to engage in oral health discussions with individuals other than dentists during the pandemic directly contributed to inadequate oral health self-care.

The use of social media has increased significantly, which enables the sharing of patient experiences of healthcare interventions. Evaluation of the available data regarding patient experiences of their own orthodontic treatment is lacking. The present registered scoping review aimed to collate and evaluate the current evidence to enable a greater understanding of the experiences of patients, undergoing orthodontic treatment, conveyed via social media platforms regarding their treatment. Studies with patients reporting their orthodontic experiences through social media platforms regarding orthodontic treatment were considered for evaluation. Four electronic databases (PubMed, Web of Science, Embase and Scopus) were searched up until January 29
th , 2023. A total of 379 records were screened, of which 47 potentially pertinent articles were obtained in full. Twelve studies satisfied the inclusion and exclusion criteria following screening and were assessed in the present scoping review. Most studies evaluated patient experiences conveyed via Twitter. The findings indicated that patient experiences regarding orthodontic treatment were generally positive and those regarding orthodontic retention were generally negative. Positive experiences included satisfaction associated with treatment outcome, removal of fixed appliances and the aesthetic appearance of clear aligners. Negative experiences related to pain/discomfort, impact on speech and eating, dislike of retainers and the need to comply with retainer wear protocols. Instagram appears to be the social media platform through which patients are more likely to express positive sentiments. Research is required to develop validated methodological processes to enable future systematic review and meta-analysis of relevant studies, and to develop strategies for the orthodontic profession to minimise the negative experiences borne by their patients. In addition, guidance on the appropriate ethical management of data in future similar studies is required. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

Meade, Maurice J., Sooriakumaran, Prashanthan, Ju, Xiangqun, Hunter, David, and Jamieson, Lisa
- Abstract
• Content regarding orthodontic retention and retainers on Reddit was assessed. • Most initial posts were negative, and most responding posts were positive. • Eight main themes regarding relevant patient concerns were identified. • More negative sentiments about orthodontists were expressed than positive. Social media can provide insight into patient experiences with health care. The aim of this study was to evaluate the content regarding orthodontic retention and retainers on the social media website, Reddit. A systematic search for relevant content submitted over a 12-month period on the Reddit forum, r/braces, was conducted. Qualitative analysis of the initial posts for themes and subthemes was conducted by two investigators. Responding comments to the initial posts were assessed for supportiveness for each initial poster and alignment with the evidence-base. Quantitative assessment was via descriptive statistics. A total of 271 initial posts and 984 comments satisfied the inclusion/exclusion criteria. All initial posts were by patients. Just 1.12% (n = 11) of the comments appeared to be provided by oral health professionals. Most initial posts were negative (50.18%; n = 136), and most comments were positive (70.42%; n = 693). Alignment with the evidence-base was high among the comments (67.89%; n = 668). Eight main themes were identified with concerns regarding the negative impact of retention and retainers on quality of life, compliance with retention protocols and relapse commonly expressed. Concern regarding fear of relapse when waiting for the initial or renewal of retainers was a novel finding. More negative sentiments about orthodontists were expressed than positive. Reddit is a supportive and reliable environment for patients regarding orthodontic retention and retainers. The content evaluation suggested deficiencies in communication processes between clinicians and patients. Greater engagement of the orthodontic profession in the provision of supportive and evidence-based information on an individual patient basis and through appropriate information channels is required.

Hedges, Joanne and Jamieson, Lisa M.
- Abstract
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. This paper describes how the microbiome research field is having impacts in the Indigenous Australian health space, and describes a particular project involving Indigenous Australians in which the CONSIDER statement is used as the underlying framework.

- Abstract
Objectives: To profile the oral health of Australian children from different immigrant backgrounds. Method: Cross-sectional data for Aus- tralian children were obtained from the 2012-14 National Child Oral Health Study (NCOHS). Three categories of immigrant status were created based on parents' country of birth and language (non-immigrant, non-visible immigrant, and visible immigrant). Descriptive analyses reported weighted estimates for experience of dental caries, self-rated oral health, and dental services utilisation separately for children aged 5-9 years and 10-14 years. Results: The sample comprised 10,610 children aged 5-9 years (3,605 from immigrant backgrounds), and 8,741 children aged 10-14 years (3,074 from immigrant backgrounds). Children from non-visible immigrant backgrounds presented worse dental service utilisation and poorer self-rated oral health than children from non-immigrant and visible immigrant families. Greater inequalities in dental caries experience were observed in the 5--9-year-olds. Untreated caries was substantially higher among visible im- migrant children aged 5-9 years (38.8%, 95% CI: 35.5-42.3) than non-immigrant (24.9%, 95% CI: 23.4-26.6) and non-visible immigrant children (21.0%, 95% CI: 17.7-24.7). Conclusions: Australian children from immigrant families constitute a highly heterogeneous group with substantial discrepancies in oral health outcomes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Objective Children and adolescents with orofacial clefts may experience ongoing psychosocial impacts due to the continuous nature of cleft treatments, facial and dental differences, and speech and hearing difficulties. The aim of this qualitative systematic review was to better understand the experiences of children and adolescents with orofacial clefts.Design A systematic search strategy using PubMed, Embase, Emcare, Scopus, and Web of Science databases was performed to identify relevant qualitative studies evaluating the lived experience of children and adolescents with orofacial clefts from inception through to June 2021. Eligible studies were critically appraised using the Joanna Briggs methodology and a meta-aggregative approach.Results The search identified 2466 studies, with 13 found to meet the inclusion criteria. Extraction of 155 findings resulted in 27 categories, which were meta-aggregated into 7 overarching synthesized findings. These 7 core findings included aspects of child experience and findings that enhanced or impeded child experience at the individual, family, and community levels.Conclusions Factors that impeded child experience at the individual, family, and community levels were more pronounced than factors that enhanced their experience among children and adolescents with orofacial clefts. Further initiatives are needed to provide support to individuals, families, and school communities to enhance children's experience of orofacial cleft during the formative childhood and adolescent years.

- Abstract
Sleep is a vital biological process that facilitates numerous vital functions integral to mental and physical restoration of the body. Sleep deprivation or poor sleep quality not only affects physical health but may also affect oral health. This scoping review aims to collate existing evidence related to the impact of sleep duration and/or quality on oral health. A systematic search strategy using PubMed, Embase, Scopus and CINAHL databases was performed to identify studies that assessed the association between sleep quality or duration and oral health or hygiene. Two researchers independently screened and extracted the data. Eligible studies were critically appraised using the NIH quality assessment tool for observational cohort and cross-sectional studies checklist. The search identified 18,398 studies, from which 14 fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Of the 14 papers, four papers were associated with effect of sleep on caries, 8 papers described the effect of sleep on gingival and periodontal health, and two papers described the effect of sleep on general oral health and oral disease symptoms. This review found a direct link between sleep and dental decay in children, and short sleep duration was associated with an increased risk of periodontitis adults. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Background: Chronic periodontitis is highly prevalent among older adults. The study aimed to compare periodontal disease among Australian older adults in two generations. We hypothesized that the prevalence and severity of periodontitis would decrease from the previous generation to the recent generation.Methods: Data were obtained from the South Australian Dental Longitudinal Study (SADLS) in 1991 to 1992 (SADLS I) and 2013 to 2014 (SADLS II); population-based longitudinal surveys of Australian older adults aged ≥60 years. American Academy of Periodontology, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (AAP/CDC), and the 2018 European Federation of Periodontology (EFP/AAP) classification case definitions were used to define and calculate prevalence of chronic periodontitis. Multivariable log-Poisson regression models were used to identify risk indicators for severe periodontitis after adjusting for other covariates.Results: There were a total of 801 and 355 participants that underwent a periodontal exam in SADLS I and II, respectively. The prevalence of severe periodontitis was higher in the recent generation (88% and 56%) than the previous generation (75% and 46.7%) under the CDC/AAP and EFP/AAP case definitions, respectively. The mean number of missing teeth was lower in the recent generation (6) than the previous generation (13). The prevalence ratio of severe periodontitis was around two times higher in the younger age group, men, those not born in Australia, and current smokers across both generations.Conclusions: Our findings indicated that the recent generation of older adults has higher prevalence and severity of chronic periodontitis than the previous generation. Our findings indicated that aging, being male, born overseas, low household income, no dental insurance, and being a current smoker are significant risk factors associated with severe periodontitis among older Australians.

Soares, Gustavo Hermes, Jamieson, Lisa, Biazevic, Maria Gabriela Haye, and Michel-Crosato, Edgard
- Abstract
This study aimed to estimate the number of excess deaths among Indigenous Peoples associated with the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and to assess the disparities in excess mortality between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Brazilians. A time series analysis of weekly mortality data including all deaths from January 2015 to December 2020 was conducted. The number of expected deaths for 2020 was estimated using an over-dispersed Poisson model that accounts for demographic changes, temporal trends, and seasonal effects in mortality. Weekly excess deaths were calculated as the difference between the number of observed deaths and the expected deaths. Regional differences in Indigenous mortality were investigated. A significant increase in Indigenous mortality was observed from April 1 to December 31, 2020. An estimated 1149 (95% CI 1018–1281) excess deaths was found among Indigenous Brazilians in 2020, representing a 34.8% increase from the expected deaths for this population. The overall increase in non-Indigenous mortality was 18.1%. The Indigenous population living in the Brazilian Amazon area was the earliest-affected Indigenous group, with one of the highest proportional increases in mortality. Disparities in excess mortality revealed a disproportionate burden of COVID-19 among Indigenous Brazilians compared to their non-Indigenous counterparts. Findings highlight the importance of implementing an effective emergency plan that addresses the increased vulnerability of Indigenous Peoples to COVID-19.

Poirier, Brianna, Tang, Samantha, Haag, Dandara Gabriela, Sethi, Sneha, Hedges, Joanne, and Jamieson, Lisa
- Abstract
Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations (ACCHOs) play a critical role in supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health in Australia. This article aims to identify and describe oral health programming and promotion provided by ACCHOs in South Australia. All ACCHOs in South Australia were identified through the Aboriginal Health Council of South Australia. A targeted search strategy was designed to include the websites and social media pages (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram) for each organisation. Program characteristics were extracted and summarised, and oral health promotion content was analysed utilising content analysis. Twelve programs were identified across the 12 ACCHOs in South Australia. Of these, seven focused on oral health and five focused on nutrition. Oral health and nutrition information shared online by ACCHOs was extracted and aggregated into oral health and nutrition categories, which included reminders about visiting services, advocacy statements, oral hygiene messaging, appointment availability, education resources, and upcoming community‐based activities. The evidence explored highlights the integral role ACCHOs play in oral health promotion and service delivery. It is critically important that ACCHOs are involved in development and implementation of oral health services to ensure programming reflects community knowledges and is effective in improving oral health equity.

Mittinty, Manasi Murthy, Hedges, Joanne, and Jamieson, Lisa
- Abstract
Objectives: Pain is a universal experience which each person encounters differently, guided by the psycho-socio- environmental context in which it occurs. Although more research is underway yet very little is known about pain from Indigenous Australian perspective. Therefore, this study aims to examine, experience of pain and coping, and utility of three measures: Brief Pain Inventory short form, McGill Pain Questionnaire and Numerical rating scale, from Indigenous South Australian people perspective. Methods: Thirteen in-person interviews were conducted which lasted around 90 min and were audio-recorded. The transcripts were coded and analysed thematically with NVivo. Results: Six key themes were identified; 1: Spiritual conceptualisation of pain; 2: Frequent experience of trauma and injury; 3: Influence of familial history of pain; 4: Acceptance of pain as normal; 5: Outlook on biomedical management of pain; 6: Preference for non-pharmacological management of pain. Also, the three measures did not fully capture pain from an Indigenous Australian perspective which is more deeply rooted in a bio-psycho-socio-spiritual context which is cardinal to conceptualization of health and wellbeing in Indigenous Australian communities. Conclusions: Findings highlight some commonalities as well as unique differences between Indigenous experiences of pain as compared to non-Indigenous. Factors such as spiritual connection with pain, grief and loss, history of trauma and injury, fear of addiction to pain medication and exposure to pain from early childhood had important implications for how participants viewed pain.

- Abstract
Background: Access to dental services are particularly important among Indigenous populations at a global level. This scoping review aimed to investigate challenges in the provision and utilization of oral health services among Indigenous Australians. Methods: This scoping review was conducted up to June 10, 2020. Five main databases were searched, including PUBMED, SCOPUS, ISI Web of Science, EMBASE and PROQUEST. Thematic analysis was used to analyse the data applying MAX QDA
10 software. For a better understanding of the themes and subthemes, a thematic network was presented. Results: Results show that there are six main themes and 14 sub-themes affecting Indigenous Australians’ utilization and provision of oral health services. Personal characteristics, socio-economic status and challenges regarding access were the main factors influencing utilization of oral health services. The findings suggest that challenges relating to public health, policymaking and service provision can affect Indigenous Australians’ provision to oral health services. Conclusion: Benefits in Indigenous Australian access and utilization of oral health services may improve if policy makers at both national and local levels increase resourcing in this important public health sector. A deeper understanding of the social and cultural nuances driving Indigenous Australians’ reluctance to attend for dental care is crucial.- Published

- Abstract
Background: Persistent oral human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is a risk factor for oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC). Indigenous Australians have a higher rate of OPSCC than non-Indigenous Australians. Risk factors for oral HPV persistence among Indigenous Australians are poorly understood. Methods: Participants provided information on sociodemographic characteristics, health-related behaviors including tobacco and alcohol use, and sexual history. Participants additionally provided saliva samples for microbial genotyping. Negative log binomial regression models were used to evaluate associations of sociodemographic, health behavior, and sexual behavior indicators on incident, persistent, and cleared oral HPV infection at 12-month follow-up. Estimates were quantified as rate ratios (RR). Results: Of the 1,011 participants recruited at baseline, 911 provided saliva samples that were β-globin positive (a DNA integrity check), with 321 (35.3%) testing positive for any oral HPV infection. At 12-month follow up, saliva samples were obtained from 743 of the original 1,011 participants (73.5%). Among the 584 participants who provided β-globin-positive saliva samples at baseline and 12-month follow-up, 24 (42.6%) had no oral HPV infection at both time points, 130 (22.2%) had new (incident) oral HPV infection at 12 months, 130 (22.2%) had persistent oral HPV infection (i.e., present at both baseline and 12 months), and 75 (12.8%) had oral HPV infection clearance from baseline to 12 months. Age of first giving oral sex and unsafe (unprotected) oral sexual behaviors were significantly associated with incidence; rural location of residence and ever received oral sex were significantly associated with persistence; and, rural location of residence and ever received oral sex were significantly associated with clearance of oral HPV infection. Conclusions: The incidence of oral HPV infection at both baseline and 12-month follow-up was high. Factors associated with persistence and clearance of oral HPV infections included location of residence and unsafe oral sexual behaviors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Objective: Despite the colonial roots and modern presence of systemic racism within academic institutions, Indigenous researchers have successfully led a change in expectations of what constitutes ‘good’ research with Indigenous Communities. From a mixed Indigenous and non‐Indigenous research perspective, this paper explores the processes that enable meaningful and ethical Indigenous oral health research. Methods: This paper utilises Yarning as its methodology to capture our research process and identify our core values. The idea for this paper was a result of social and collaborative yarns, which were used as the framework for a final research topic yarn. Results: We propose Relational Yarning as a mechanism to ensure the prioritisation of six core values in our research approach: respect, relationships, advocacy, reciprocity, time and gratitude. Conclusions: We argue that these values are not only essential at the individual or team level but must extend to all institutions in which Indigenous research operates. Therefore, academic institutions, funding bodies and academic journals are compelled to mandate policies that disrupt patterns of symbolic violence and eliminate institutional racism. Implications for public health: Our framework provides an opportunity for all researchers engaging with Indigenous Communities to facilitate meaningful and ethical research and prioritise culturally secure research environments.

- Abstract
Objectives: To assess the psychometric properties, including face, content, criterion and known-groups validity and reliability, of scales to measure oral health-related self-efficacy and fatalism in a regional Aboriginal adult population in Australia. Methods: Four hundred Aboriginal adults (aged 18-82 years, 67% female) completed a self-report questionnaire including items pertaining to oral health-related self-efficacy and fatalism. Structural validity was determined in exploratory factor analysis (EFA) with principal components analysis for each scale. Criterion validity was assessed between the instruments and theoretically related variables. Known-groups validity was investigated by comparing the scores in different population groups according to age, sex, education and employment. Reliability of the scales was assessed through internal consistency. Results: The EFA confirmed a single factor structure for self-efficacy and fatalism scales, with Cronbach's alphas of 0.93 and 0.89 respectively. The two scales were not correlated. Oral health-related self-efficacy was associated with toothbrush ownership and brushing the previous day supporting criterion validity. Oral health-related fatalism was associated with previous extractions and perceived need for extractions also supporting criterion validity. Both measures were associated with social impact of oral health as measured by the OHIP-14, supporting their criterion validity. Mixed findings were observed in terms of known-groups validity. Conclusions: There was initial evidence that measures of oral health-related self-efficacy and fatalism displayed adequate psychometric properties in this Aboriginal community. These constructs could have implications for approaches for improving oral health among Aboriginal people. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

27. Racism and oral health inequities among Indigenous Australians.

Hedges, Joanne, Haag, Dandara, Paradies, Yin, and Jamieson, Lisa
- Abstract
Racial discrimination, which can be structural, interpersonal and intrapersonal, has causal links with oral health morbidity (dental caries, periodontal disease) and mortality (tooth loss). Racism impacts on oral health in three main ways: (1) institutional racism creates differential access to oral health services; (2) cultural racism, which is structurally pervasive, results in poorer psychological and physiological well-being of those discriminated against and; (3) interpersonal racism undermines important dental health service provider-patient relationships. Indigenous Australians have experienced sustained racial discrimination since European colonisation in the 1780s. This includes Government policies of land and custom theft, assimilation, child removal and restrictions on Indigenous people's civil rights, residence, mobility and employment. Australia failed to enumerate Indigenous people in the Census until 1967, with the 'White Australia' policy only ending in 1973. In our paper we posit that all minority groups experience racial discrimination that impacts oral health, but that this is ampli- fied among Indigenous groups in Australia because of ongoing legacies of colonialism, institutional racism and intergenerational trauma.

- Abstract
This article combines a review of dental studies on race with sociological insights into systemic racism to advance a counter-narrative on the root causes of racial oral health inequities. Taking racism as a form of oppression that cuts across institutional, cultural, and behavioral dimensions of social life, we ask: How pervasive are racial inequities in the occurrence of adverse oral health outcomes? What is the direction and magnitude of racial inequities in oral health? Does the inequitable distribution of negative outcomes persist over time? How can sociological frameworks on systemic racism inform initiatives to effectively reduce racial oral health inequities? The first three questions are addressed by reviewing dental studies conducted in the past few years around the globe. The fourth question is addressed by framing racial oral health inequities around sociological scholarship on racism as a systemic feature of contemporary societies. The paper concludes with a set of practical recommendations on how to eliminate racial oral health inequities, which include engaging with a strong anti-racist narrative and actively dismantling the race discrimination system. Amid the few attempts at moving the field towards improved racial justice, this paper should be followed by research on interventions against racial oral health inequities, including the conditions under which they succeed.

This study aimed to assess the reliability and validity of Brazilian-Portuguese versions of the Health Literacy in Dentistry (HeLD) scale in a sample of elderly Brazilian participants. HeLD was initially translated into and cross-culturally adapted to the Brazilian Portuguese language. The reliability and validity of HeLD were then assessed in a sample of 535 non-institutionalized older persons who also completed a questionnaire containing sociodemographic and health information. Data were then randomly separated into two sub-datasets, and Confirmatory Factor Analysis was performed through structural equation modelling, with a maximum likelihood estimate to test the fit of the data to the factor structure of the long-and short-form HeLD (HeLD-29 and HeLD-14) versions of the instrument. The models were compared using the Akaike Information Criterion to assess goodness-of-fit and to determine which models were preferred. Internal consistency of HeLD was evaluated using Cronbach's coefficient α. Both versions of HeLD were observed to demonstrate high internal reliability (Cronbach's α = 0.87 for all seven subscales), acceptable convergent (estimates of = 0.50 for AVE and = 0.70 for CR) and discriminant validity. However, the goodness-of-fit of the confirmatory factor analysis models demonstrated satisfactory results only for HeLD-14 subsamples (x²/df = 1.8-2.3; CFI = 0.97-0.98; GFI/NFI = 0.98-0.99; RMSEA = 0.05 a nd SRMR = 0.03). In conclusion, HeLD-14 was shown to be a reliable and valid instrument to measure oral health literacy in elderly Brazilian participants. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study aimed to assess the effect of caries increment on Oral Health-related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) of Brazilian adolescents and to evaluate the responsiveness of the Child Perceptions Questionnaire (CPQ11-14) in this group. A population-based sample of 515 Brazilian 12-year-olds from a large city located in the southeast of Brazil was evaluated according to a random multistage sampling design at baseline and 291 at three years follow-up, using the DMFT index and the CPQ11-14 instrument. To evaluate the responsiveness to change, the measures of effect size and longitudinal construct validity were used. It was verified that OHRQoL among adolescents with DMFT increment across the three years worsened significantly (p<0.05) in relation to their counterparts. The effect size varied from small to moderate. The longitudinal construct validity of CPQ11-14 was satisfactory. Caries increment impacted on OHRQoL of adolescents in Brazil. The CPQ11-14 instrument demonstrated acceptable responsiveness properties. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Machining-induced surface fractures in ceramic restorations is a long-standing problem in dentistry, affecting the restorations' functionality and reliability. This study approached a novel ultrasonic vibration-assisted machining technique to zirconia-containing lithium silicate glass-ceramics (ZLS) and characterized its induced surface fracture topographies and morphologies to understand the microstructure-property-processing relations. The materials were processed using a digitally controlled ultrasonic milling machine at a harmonic vibration frequency with different amplitudes. Machining-induced surface fracture topographies were measured with a 3D white light optical profilometer using the arithmetic mean, peak and valley, and maximum heights, as well as the kurtosis and skewness height distributions, and the texture aspect ratios. Fracture morphologies were analysed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The surface fracture topographies were significantly dependent on the material microstructure, the mechanical properties, and the ultrasonic machining vibration amplitudes. Larger scale fractures with higher arithmetic mean, peak and valley heights, and kurtosis and skewness height distributions were induced in higher brittleness indexed pre-crystallized ZLS than lower indexed crystallized ZLS by conventional machining. Conchoidal fractures occurred in pre-crystallized ZLS while microcracks were found in crystallized state although brittle fractures mixed with localized ductile flow deformations dominated all machined ZLS surfaces. Ultrasonic machining at an ideal vibration amplitude resulted in more ductile removal, reducing fractured-induced peaks and valleys for both materials than conventional processing. This research demonstrates the microstructure-property-processing interdependence for ZLS materials and the novel machining technique to be superior to current processing, reducing fractures in the materials and potentially advancing dental CAD/CAM techniques. • A novel ultrasonic vibration-assisted machining technique is used to process ZLS materials. • Machining-induced surface fractures are characterized using 3D topographic parameters. • The microstructure-property-processing relations in ZLS materials are elucidated. • Ultrasonic machining at an optimized vibration amplitude diminishes fractures. • Ultrasonic machining may advance current dental CAD/CAM machining techniques.

33. Neoliberalism and Indigenous oral health inequalities: a global perspective.

Jamieson, Lisa, Kearns, Cristin, Ankeny, Rachel, Hedges, Joanne, and Thomson, W. M.
- Abstract
Neoliberalism is the dominant ideology underpinning the operation of many governments. Its tenets include policies of economic liberalization such as privatization, deregulation, free trade and reduced public expenditures on infrastructure and social services. Champions of neoliberalism claim that expansion of global trade has rescued millions from abject poverty and that direct foreign investment successfully transfers technology to developing economies. However, critics have urged governments to pay greater attention to how neoliberalism shapes population health. Indigenous populations experience inequalities in ways that are unique and distinct from the experiences of other marginalised groups. This is largely due to colonial influences that have resulted in sustained loss of lands, identity, languages and the control to live life in a traditional, cultural way that is meaningful. Oral health is simultaneously a reflection of material circumstances, structural inequities and access to health services. Indigenous populations carry a disproportionate burden of oral health inequalities at a global level. In this commentary, we contend that neoliberalism has overwhelmingly contributed to these inequities in three ways: (1) increased dominance of transnational corporations; (2) privatization of health and; (3) the neoliberal emphasis on personal responsibility.

- Abstract
To perform cross‐cultural adaptation and validation of the Health Literacy Dental scale (HeLD) in Brazilian adults. The HeLD instrument was translated and cross‐culturally adapted to the Brazilian Portuguese language to create longer (HeLD‐29) and shorter (HeLD‐14) versions. The reliability and validity of these versions were assessed in a sample of 603 adults living near six primary care units in the city of Piracicaba, São Paulo, Brazil. Both versions of HeLD demonstrated high internal reliability, acceptable convergent validity and discriminant validity. However, the confirmatory factor analysis showed that only HeLD‐14 demonstrated satisfactory goodness of fit. There were associations between HeLD‐14 scores and social demographic characteristics, general and oral health and oral health‐related behaviours. Higher scores were observed for the total HeLD‐14 and/or individual components of HeLD‐14 among women, ethnic white subjects, those with high educational attainment, those with higher income, those reporting toothbrushing twice or more daily, regular dental attenders, those who usually attended for dental care for a check‐up, those with excellent or very good self‐ratings of general health, those with excellent or very good self‐ratings of oral health, and those without tooth extraction and oral health impact. The Brazilian version of HeLD‐14 was demonstrated to be a reliable and valid instrument for measuring broad aspects of oral health literacy in the adult Brazilian population.

- Abstract
We conducted no-choice cage and field infestation studies to determine if the fruit of apples (Malus x domestica L., 'Scifresh') are hosts for three invasive tephritid fruit fly species that may enter New Zealand or other apple growing areas. In screen cage tests, punctured and unpunctured (intact) fruit of 'Scifresh' apples were exposed to gravid females of Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) (Oriental fruit fly), Zeugodacus (Bactrocera) cucurbitae (Coquillet) (melon fly), or Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) (Mediterranean fruit fly), outdoors for 24 h and then held on sand in the laboratory for four weeks for pupal development and adult emergence. Unpunctured fruit produced an average of 269.4, 4.3 and 70.1 puparia per kg of fruit for B. dorsalis , Z. cucurbitae and C. capitata , respectively. Punctured fruit produced an average of 619.4, 0.8 and 129.5 puparia per kg of fruit for B. dorsalis , Z. cucurbitae and C. capitata , respectively. By comparison, unpunctured and punctured papaya fruit (Carica papaya , 'Rainbow', a preferred host) produced 206–675 and 464–735 puparia per kg of fruit, respectively, across all species. In general, the average weight of individual fruit fly puparia from apple was significantly less (41–71%) than that of puparia reared from papaya, and development times were slower on apple than on papaya. Overall, 'Scifresh' apples were a moderately good host for B. dorsalis and C. capitata , and a very poor host for Z. cucurbitae in cage tests. Field exposure of 'Scifresh' apples suspended from papaya trees resulted in no infestation by B. dorsalis or Z. cucurbitae under natural conditions. This information will help to inform decisions about quarantine restrictions and potential crop loss in the event of incursions of these fruit flies into apple-producing countries. Unlabelled Image • An exotic fruit fly incursion into New Zealand could threaten apple exports. • Host status studies were conducted in Hawaii with New Zealand 'Scifresh' apples. • 'Scifresh' apple was a moderately good host for Medfly and Oriental fruit fly. • 'Scifresh' apple was a very poor host for melon fly. • Quarantine treatment options are discussed to avoid interruptions in trade.

KIWIFRUIT ,FRUIT flies ,OVIPARITY in insects ,CROP losses ,NONINDIGENOUS pests - Abstract
Abstract We conducted no-choice cage and field infestation studies to determine if the fruit of kiwifruit (Actinidia chinensis var. deliciosa , 'Hayward' [green-fleshed], and Actinidia chinensis var. chinensis , 'Zesy002' [gold-fleshed]) are hosts for three invasive tephritid fruit fly species that may enter New Zealand or other kiwifruit growing areas. For cage studies, punctured and unpunctured (intact) fruits of green and gold kiwifruit were exposed to gravid female flies of Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) (Oriental fruit fly), Zeugodacus cucurbitae (Coquillet) (melon fly), or Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) (Mediterranean fruit fly), in screen cages outdoors for 24 h, and then held on sand in the laboratory for three weeks for pupal development and adult emergence. Unpunctured green kiwifruit produced an average of 1.3, 0.0 and 48.8 puparia per kg of fruit for B. dorsalis , Z. cucurbitae and C. capitata , respectively. Unpunctured gold kiwifruit produced an average of 54.7, 6.1 and 0.0 puparia per kg of fruit for B. dorsalis , Z. cucurbitae and C. capitata , respectively. For comparison, unpunctured papaya, a preferred host for all three species, produced 492–795 puparia per kg of fruit across all species. These results indicate that kiwifruit is a poor ovipositional host for B. dorsalis, Z. cucurbitae and C. capitata. When kiwifruit were punctured to facilitate oviposition, the number of puparia per kg fruit increased significantly compared with those on unpunctured fruit for B. dorsalis, but not for Z. cucurbitae or C. capitata , indicating that kiwifruit is a poor developmental host for these two species. For all fruit fly species, the average weight of individual puparia recovered from green and gold kiwifruit was roughly 50% of the weight of puparia recovered from papaya. Field infestation of kiwifruit suspended from papaya trees resulted in no infestation of green kiwifruit and very low infestation of gold kiwifruit by B. dorsalis , and no infestation in either cultivar by Z. cucurbitae under natural conditions. Overall, kiwifruit is a poor host for B. dorsalis , Z. cucurbitae and C. capitata. This information will help inform decisions about quarantine restrictions and potential crop loss in the event of incursions of these fruit flies into New Zealand or other kiwifruit producing countries.

Friel, Sharon and Jamieson, Lisa
- Abstract
This article argues that health outcomes, specifically nutrition related health outcomes, are socially determined, and can be linked to a wider political economy in which peoples' dietary consumption is structurally determined, evolving from political, economic and social forces. The article examines trade and investment agreements as regulatory vehicles that cultivate poor dietary consumption and inequalities in health outcomes between and within countries. How does this happen? The liberalization of trade and investment, and unfettered influence of powerful economic interests including transnational food and beverage companies has resulted in trade agreements that enable excess availability, affordability and acceptability of highly processed, nutrient poor foods worldwide, ultimately resulting in poor nutrition and consequently oral and other non-communicable diseases. These trade and nutrition policy tensions shine a spotlight on the challenges ahead for global health and development policies, including achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals.

- Abstract
To identify, over the previous 12 months, whether: (i) dental insurance is associated with a higher number of third molar extractions (TME); (ii) single versusmultiple TMEis associated with self-rated oral health; and (iii) TMEwhen 18–25 years of age is associated with fewer days absent from work because of dental problems. Australia's 2013 National Dental Telephone Interview Survey, which included: socio-demographics; and number of extractions, reasons for extractions, self-rated oral health and days absent from work because of dental problems, all in the past 12 months. The majority of TMErecipients were female [56.6%, standard error (SE)= 6.0%], 18–25 years of age (63.0%, SE= 5.4%), held a tertiary qualification (73.9%, SE= 5.4%), had a total annual household income of =$60,000 (58.3%, SE= 6.4%), were dentally insured (52.6%, SE= 6.2%) and received multiple TME(60.9%, SE= 8.5%). Number of TMEwas associated with having dental insurance [B= 0.97: 95% confidence interval (95% CI): 0.5–1.5] and days of work absence because of dental problems (B =1.10; 95% CI: 0.26–1.94). Receiving single TME versusmultiple TMEwas not associated with self-rated oral health (B= -0.25; 95% CI: -0.76 to 0.25). Receiving TMEwhen 18–25 years of age versuswhen older than 25 years of age was not associated with days absent from work because of dental problems (B =0.48; 95% CI: -0.37 to 2.33). Dental insurance was associated with a higher TMEcount without improving self-reported oral health in the short-term. Using age as a justification for prophylactic TMEmight be questionable because, receiving TMEwhen 18–25 years of age versuswhen older than 25 years of age did not reduce days absent from work because of dental problems.

- Abstract
Introduction: A discrepancy exists between objective and subjective measures of orthodontic treatment need, highlighting the importance of patients' perceptions. Limited qualitative information is available regarding patients' perceptions and orthodontic concerns. For the first time, patient facial images and qualitative methodology were used to assess patients' orthodontic concerns, which are incorporated into and are important in treatment planning and consent.Methods: An interview-based, cross-sectional study of adolescent patients eligible to receive orthodontic treatment in a public dental hospital was conducted with 105 adolescents (42 boys, 63 girls) aged between 12 and 17 years. Each patient's face was video recorded, and 3 images were selected from each recording to assess the patient's orthodontic concerns. The initial chief concerns were compared with concerns articulated after the patients assessed their facial images. In addition, patient concerns were compared with occlusal features visible on smiling using the Dental Aesthetic Index and patient study casts.Results: For 37% of the adolescent patients, smiling images helped to identify additional concerns. For 87%, their smiling images helped them to describe their concerns in more detail. In addition, a few patients did not articulate any concern about features measurable on the Dental Aesthetic Index that were visible on smiling.Conclusions: Showing adolescent patients images of their face and smile helped them to identify and better describe their concerns. Adolescents are not always overly concerned about visible and quantifiable malocclusion features. This might influence orthodontic treatment planning and consent. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

- Abstract
Objective: This paper describes and compares magnitudes of socioeconomic (SES) inequalities in oral health among Indigenous and non‐Indigenous children over a 10‐year period. Methods: We analysed annual oral health survey data from NSW, NT and SA. Data were extracted for time period 1 (2000–2002, N=215,317) and time period 2 (2007–2010, N=34,495). Oral health outcomes were untreated decayed deciduous teeth (dt) and cumulative dental caries experience (dmft). Postcode‐level Socioeconomic Index for Areas was used to assess SES. Age standardisation and complex survey weights were used. Indices of socioeconomic inequality in health (Slope Index of Inequality, Relative Index of Inequality, Absolute and Relative Concentration Index) were used to quantify inequality in dental caries and its changes over time. Results: Oral health outcomes deteriorated in both Indigenous and non‐Indigenous populations over time. Indigenous children experienced higher levels of disease at both times. Untreated dt increased in both populations. The cummulative disease (dmft) increased at higher rate among children in low‐SES areas in both populations. Over time, there was an increase in socioecononomic inequalities in dmft in all children and in dt in non‐Indigenous children. Conclusion: Area‐level socioeconomic inequality in child oral health has widened due to deterioration in low‐SES children.

- Abstract
Observational studies and nonrandomized trials support an association between periodontal disease and atherosclerotic vascular disease. Both diseases occur frequently in Aboriginal Australians. We hypothesized that nonsurgical periodontal therapy would improve measures of arterial function and structure that are subclinical indicators of atherosclerotic vascular disease. This parallel-group, randomized, open label clinical trial enrolled 273 Aboriginal Australians aged ≥18 years with periodontitis. Intervention participants received full-mouth periodontal scaling during a single visit, whereas controls received no treatment. Prespecified primary end points measured 12-month change in carotid intima-media thickness, an indicator of arterial structure, and 3- and 12-month change in pulse wave velocity, an indicator of arterial function. ANCOVA used complete case data to evaluate treatment group differences. End points could be calculated for 169 participants with follow-up data at 3 months and 168 participants at 12 months. Intima-media thickness decreased significantly after 12 months in the intervention group (mean reduction=-0.023 [95% confidence interval {CI}, -0.038 to -0.008] mm) but not in the control group (mean increase=0.002 [95% CI, -0.017 to 0.022] mm). The difference in intima-media thickness change between treatment groups was statistically significant (-0.026 [95% CI, -0.048 to -0.003] mm; P=0.03). In contrast, there were no significant differences between treatment groups in pulse wave velocity at 3 months (mean difference, 0.06 [95% CI, -0.17 to 0.29] m/s; P=0.594) or 12 months (mean difference, 0.21 [95% CI, -0.01 to 0.43] m/s; P=0.062). Periodontal therapy reduced subclinical arterial thickness but not function in Aboriginal Australians with periodontal disease, suggesting periodontal disease and atherosclerosis are significantly associated.

- Abstract
Observational studies and nonrandomized trials support an association between periodontal disease and atherosclerotic vascular disease. Both diseases occur frequently in Aboriginal Australians. We hypothesized that nonsurgical periodontal therapy would improve measures of arterial function and structure that are subclinical indicators of atherosclerotic vascular disease. This parallel-group, randomized, open label clinical trial enrolled 273 Aboriginal Australians aged ≥18 years with periodontitis. Intervention participants received full-mouth periodontal scaling during a single visit, whereas controls received no treatment. Prespecified primary end points measured 12-month change in carotid intima-media thickness, an indicator of arterial structure, and 3- and 12-month change in pulse wave velocity, an indicator of arterial function. ANCOVA used complete case data to evaluate treatment group differences. End points could be calculated for 169 participants with follow-up data at 3 months and 168 participants at 12 months. Intima-media thickness decreased significantly after 12 months in the intervention group (mean reduction=-0.023 [95% confidence interval {CI}, -0.038 to -0.008] mm) but not in the control group (mean increase=0.002 [95% CI, -0.017 to 0.022] mm). The difference in intima-media thickness change between treatment groups was statistically significant (-0.026 [95% CI, -0.048 to -0.003] mm; P=0.03). In contrast, there were no significant differences between treatment groups in pulse wave velocity at 3 months (mean difference, 0.06 [95% CI, -0.17 to 0.29] m/s; P=0.594) or 12 months (mean difference, 0.21 [95% CI, -0.01 to 0.43] m/s; P=0.062). Periodontal therapy reduced subclinical arterial thickness but not function in Aboriginal Australians with periodontal disease, suggesting periodontal disease and atherosclerosis are significantly associated.

- Abstract
This short communication paper aimed to compile the main determinants of inequality in dental services by distinguishing between access, utilisation, and provision of dental services. Recent findings integrated, and a dedicated conceptual framework entitled “Triangle of inequality in dental services” has been suggested. These can contribute a rich knowledge in this area and open a new window for policymakers and researchers to seek applied interventions to decrease inequality and improve access and utilisation in communities. This paper aims to synthesise the available evidence and add value to the scope. It highlights a dedicated concept for inequality in dental services beyond other areas of public health.

- Abstract
Introduction: The Psychosocial Impact of Dental Aesthetics Questionnaire (PIDAQ) is an instrument to assess the subjective perception need for orthodontic treatment. The study aimed to determine the psychometric validity and reliability of PIDAQ in Australian adults.Methods: Data were collected from the National Dental Telephone Interview Survey in 2013. The PIDAQ was used, comprising 4 conceptual domains: self-confidence, social impact, psychological impact, and esthetic concern. Psychometric sensitivity was estimated for each item. Confirmatory factor analysis was performed to determine factorial validity in which the ratio of chi-square by degrees of freedom, comparative fit, and root mean square error of approximation were used as indexes of the goodness of fit. Convergent validity was estimated from the average variance extracted and composite reliability, whereas internal consistency was estimated by Cronbach standardized alpha.Results: The dataset comprised 2936 Australian adults aged ≥18 years and separated randomly into 2 subdata sets. The kurtosis and skewness values indicate an approximation to a normal distribution for each item, with acceptable thresholds for the goodness of fit and convergent validity (average variance extracted ≥0.50 and composite reliability ≥0.70), and discriminant validity was also demonstrated. Internal consistency was adequate in the 4 conceptual domains for PIDAQ for both subdata sets, with Cronbach standardized alpha being ≥0.70.Conclusions: The psychometric sensitivity, validity, and reliability of the PIDAQ instrument in a sample of the Australian adult population were found to be adequate. Both subdata sets drawn from the sample demonstrated acceptable goodness of fit and internal consistency. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

Sexual offenders demonstrate errors in judgment and deficits in interpersonal functioning that may be attributed to elevations in obsessional, narcissistic, and schizotypal traits. Twenty-five sexual offenders completed a series of personality measures and were compared to 45 non-offending students and 15 mentally ill offenders. Compared to the control groups, sexual offenders showed significant and expected elevations of obsessional features and more schizotypal features compared to nonoffenders. However, contrary to our hypotheses, narcissism was not found to be elevated in sexual offenders. Implications for the treatment and assessment of psychopathological traits and their relation to sexual offending will be discussed in the article. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
