Office-based training in tobacco cessation for dental professionals.

During a 90-minute, on-site training session, a dentist/tobacco-cessation educator trained 293 dental professionals from 57 offices. The authors report statistically significant increases between the pre-training and follow-up surveys for 12 tobacco-cessation activities and the amount of time spent on such activities (P < .001). Using participants' estimates-taken at three months after the training-the authors calculated that an average of two patients per office had stopped using tobacco, two had stopped and relapsed, and eight patients were considering stopping tobacco usage.

A dentist oriented fear reduction technique: the iatrosedative process.

This article describes a treatment process that significantly reduces learned dental fear and can be performed by the dentist in 30 to 40 minutes. The findings support the conclusion that the process is effective for calming the fearful dental patient. The iatrosedative process is cost and time effective. It is a procedure the dentist can learn readily, and it can substantially diminish the fear that interferes with treatment.
