    Study Notes

    Access to Care

    • Oral health status varies significantly across different populations.
    • Major disparities exist in the availability, accessibility, and acceptability of oral health education and care.
    • A moral obligation exists to address unmet needs in public oral health.

    Public Health Bioethics

    • Bioethics expanded in the early 2000s to include a broader range of health issues beyond biomedical concerns.
    • Beauchamp and Childress established four essential tenets:
      • Autonomy: Value of individual free will in public policy.
      • Beneficence: Duty to act in the patient's best interest.
      • Nonmaleficence: Obligation to prevent harm.
      • Justice: Ensuring fair access to healthcare resources.

    Global Burden of Oral Diseases

    • Oral diseases pose a significant public health burden, affecting life quality and general health.
    • Poor oral health is linked to chronic illnesses, including diabetes and obesity.
    • Dental caries is the most prevalent chronic disease, particularly in industrialized and low- to middle-income countries.
    • High prevalence and cost of treating oral diseases make the mouth one of the most expensive body parts to manage in healthcare.
    • Addressing oral health improvement requires integration of public health measures and attention to social determinants affecting disease prevalence.

    Social Inequities and Access to Oral Health

    • Socioeconomic status directly correlates with oral health outcomes:
      • Higher socioeconomic status leads to better oral health.
      • Lower socioeconomic status results in poorer oral health.
    • Global disparities in oral health mirror the differences in socioeconomic development among countries, impacting overall health as well.
    • Strategies are needed to address health inequalities, tailored to the specific determinants affecting different population groups.
    • The dental profession must lead initiatives to reduce income disparities and enhance access to oral health care and resources for improved well-being.
