The HSA: a focus for advancing primary preventive dental programs.

In conclusion, as community agencies under P.L. 93-641 embark upon the definition of health status goals, health system goals, and program implementation, dentists have the opportunity to clarify and assist in developing a vigorous approach to meeting dental health needs through primary prevention. Insofar as public health dentistry is able to provide technical assistance and leadership at the local HSA and SHPDA levels, the powerful tools for change embodied in this law can be a force for promoting the oral health of our population.

A study of the impact of Project ACORDE on dental education in the United States.

As part of an evaluation of Project ACCORDE a questionnaire survey was conducted of all U.S. dental school deans, heads, and selected faculty of operative dentistry departments, and selected directors and key faculty of dental hygiene and assisting programs. The survey was supplemented by on-site visits to four dental school operative dentistry departments and five dental auxiliary training programs where the Restoration of Cavity Preparations with Amalgam and Tooth-Colored Materials package was used. The visits included observation of instruction and interviews with faculty and students. This paper summarizes the results including: the extent to which the materials have been adopted, user and nonuser reactions, perceived costs and benefits, and implications for the future of Project ACORDE.

Correlates of dentists' attitudes toward continuing education in TEAM.

All dentists in active practice in Rhode Island were surveyed to determine their attitudes toward continuing education in TEAM. A total of 74.6 percent of those surveyed responded to the questionnaire. Only one variable, location in a building with other dental offices, was found to be associated with a perceived need for training in TEAM. Demographic background, practice busyness, practice efficiency, and knowledge and attitude profiles were found to be associated with an interest in attending such continuing education courses.
