The American Dental Trade Association looks at dental reimbursement: responsible consumption of appropriate dental services. Managed Care Task Force of the American Dental Trade Association.

The American Dental Trade Association Managed Care Task Force has provided an extensive study of the effects of reimbursement on the dental profession and the dental trade industry. There is great variety among the needs of patients and in the reimbursement plans available. ADTA is urged to take a leadership position to ensure that programs do not restrict access, value, or quality. The key to this strategy will be communicating a consistent message to dentists, patients, benefit managers, and the research community. The message is: "Responsible consumption of appropriate dental services."

Screening for temporomandibular disorders: history and clinical examination. American Dental Association.

A temporomandibular disorder (TMD) conference was convened in 1982 by the president of the American Dental Association. One of the objectives was to develop guidelines for a brief screening history and examination relative to TMD in order to determine whether there is a need for a more comprehensive evaluation. Based on these guidelines and under the auspices of the American College of Prosthodontists, this article discusses a simplified TMD screening and examination form that requires minimum time for both the patient (history) and health care provider (examination) to complete. Succinct recommendations are also presented to enable the health care provider to quickly determine if a more detailed TMD history and examination are warranted.

Advancing Dentists charitable dental initiatives--an American Dental Association perspective.

Volunteering to help individuals with profound need or who might not have access to oral health care is part of the ethical fabric of the dental profession. This article describes examples from the spectrum of such programs, ranging from those sponsored by national, state, and component groups in organized dentistry to faith-based groups, collaborations with other health professions, and individual practitioners. The American Dental Association serves as a catalyst, support, and clearing house for such programs.
