Abstract

The profession of dental hygiene has made considerable progress over the past 30 years toward developing a unique body of knowledge for guiding education, practice, and research. The 1993-1994 American Dental Hygienists' Association Council on Research published the first national dental hygiene research agenda in 1994. The 1994 research agenda focused dental hygienists' research efforts; however, publication of two national reports--the Surgeon General's Report on Oral Health. and Healthy People 2010--have made it necessary to revisit the research agenda. After considering input from participants in the Fourth National Dental Hygiene Research Conference and evaluating the Surgeon General's Report. the 2000-2001 Council on Research has established recommendations for the prioritization of the 1993-1994 research agenda. This report outlines for readers the rationale for the proposed recommendations. Keywords. Dental hygiene research, Surgeon General's Report on Oral Health, Healthy People 2010., We are pleased to present the paper, "Prioritization of the National Dental Hygiene Research Agenda" submitted by the 2000-2001 ADHA Council on Research.

6. Sustainable DC

Author

Doherty, Frances Elaine and Doherty, Frances Elaine

Abstract

Over the past three decades, sustainability has earned a growing importance in city planning and policy decisions. Planners often champion sustainable development as the model framework for achieving social, economic and environmental objectives. However, sustainability in practice is less about striking the perfect balance between these three components than it is about building livable cities. In 2011, Washington DC launched the Sustainable DC initiative. This vision sought to identify focus areas and goals for making the District "the healthiest, greenest and most livable city in the United States" by 2030. The purpose of this thesis is to understand ways in which the city can ensure a high quality of life for residents as it works to implement the Sustainable DC initiative. This research examined relationships between the physical environment and socioeconomic characteristics of residents across DC neighborhoods to make recommendations for implementing Sustainable DC.

Abstract

Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the association between the antimicrobial and clinical efficacy of minocycline hydrochloride microspheres when used adjunctively with scaling and root planing. Methods: 127 subjects with moderateto-advanced chronic periodontitis were randomly assigned to receive either minocycline microspheres plus scaling and root planing (n = 62) or scaling and root planing alone (n = 65). Deoxyribose nucleic acid analysis and clinical data were obtained at baseline and 30 days after treatment. End points included changes in the mean sum of red complex bacteria, pocket depth, number of deep pockets, bleeding on probing, and clinical attachment level from baseline to day 30. Regression analysis determined the association between microbiological and clinical efficacy. Results: Minocycline microspheres plus scaling and root planing reduced pocket depth, the number of deep pockets and bleeding on probing, and increased clinical attachment level significantly more than scaling and root planing alone (p < 0.05). Comparing minocycline microspheres plus scaling and root planing with scaling and root planing alone, the number needed to treat for a 2 mm pocket depth reduction difference was 6.5. Pocket depth reduction correlated significantly with a decrease in the numbers and proportions of red complex bacteria. Minocyci me microspheres significantly improved all clinical parameters compared to scaling and root planing alone. Conclusions: The addition of minocycline microspheres to scaling and root planing led to a greater reduction in the proportions and numbers of red complex bacteria. The reduction in pocket depth was significantly correlated with the reduction of the proportions and numbers of red complex bacteria. Additionally, there were statistically greater improvements in all clinical parameters examined. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Studies indicate that a dual pathway between diabetes mellitus and periodontal disease exists. Elimination of periodontal infection by using systemic antibiotics in conjunction with scaling and root planing (SRP) improved metabolic control in diabetic patients, as defined by reduction in glycated haemoglobin or reduction in insulin requirements (Grossi and Genco, 1998). The aim of this randomised pilot clinical trial was to determine if type 1 diabetes patients with periodontitis will experience a reduction in HbA1c levels when treated with locally delivered minocycline microspheres (Arestin) as an adjunct to scaling and root planing. Twenty adult patients with poorly controlled diabetes (HbA1c 7.5%) and adult periodontitis, as determined by the presence of four teeth with 5 mm periodontal pockets, two of which had 6-9 mm pockets and bleeding on probing, were included in the study. All patients received full mouth SRP at baseline. Arestin was administered to all pockets > or => or = 5 mm at baseline and again at 12 weeks in the test group. Probing depth (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL), plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), and HbA1c were evaluated at baseline and at weeks 6, 12, 18 and 24. The results demonstrated that local administration of Arestin as an adjunct to scaling and root planing is significantly more effective in reducing probing depths and providing a gain in clinical attachment levels than scaling and root planing alone in type 1 diabetic patients. Hb1Ac was reduced in all patients; however the difference between the test and control groups was not significant.
