Study Notes
Human Factors
- A resource, "Human Factors and Patient Safety in Dentistry", was launched, providing accessible information for dental teams.
- The resource is intended to help teams embed principles of human factors into their systems and processes.
- It is accessible online at www.humanfactors.dental.
- The resource can contribute to individual development and understanding.
- The resource was developed by a team that included a Vice Chair of the Board, who previously worked to help establish the resource.
Royal Colleges
- The claim that there is no Royal College for dentists is inaccurate.
- Four Royal Colleges of Surgeons (Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Ireland) have dedicated faculties of dental surgery.
- A specific faculty, the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh, exists for over 70 years, representing over 7,000 dentists.
Oral Health
- Cocaine misuse can lead to various oral complications.
- A case study of a 48-year-old woman with nasal septal and hard palate perforation was described, connected to cocaine and alcohol misuse.
- Symptoms included nasal congestion, obstruction, facial pain, foul odor, and a sensation of food debris.
- A saddle nose deformity, partial hard palate destruction, and an oro-nasal fistula were evident.
- A ten-year history of daily nasal cocaine use contributed to the patient's condition.
- Cocaine is a central nervous system stimulant increasing dopamine release. It's used medically as an anesthetic/pain reliever but has frequently been abused.
- The route of administration (smoking, snorting, or injection) can lead to various complexities, including nasal septal perforation.
- Ulcerative lesions of the face demand consideration for potential causes like injury, infection, or diseases.
- Orofacial lesions from substance abuse are an increasing issue.
Eco-Brushing
- Growing environmental awareness is driving concerns about the environmental impact of products.
- Toothpaste tubes are not frequently recyclable, generating considerable waste.
- Colgate has a nationwide recycling program.
- Many local councils do not accept toothpaste tubes for recycling.
- Alternatives are crucial for waste reduction, but some lack essential ingredients like fluoride.
