Other Information

A total of 126 participants were asked to select, from a series of photographs, the dentist which they perceived as: most caring, most competent, and which they would wish to have as their own dentist. White European male dentists were most likely to be chosen as the respondents' general dental practitioner. Men were generally perceived as more competent than women. Women were more likely to be chosen as the most caring dentists. It is concluded that, in the absence of other information, sex and ethnicity of the dentist exert an influence on patients' perceptions of general dental practitioners.

A number of salivary gland diseases may present with a wide variety of symptoms to the general dental practitioner, or may appear as unexpected findings on dental radiographs. Careful clinical examination in combination with appropriate imaging will assist practitioners in identifying whether further investigation or referral is required. This article explores the main types of salivary gland diseases and their potential pathology.

Area Health

A quantitative assessment of the true dental practitioner contribution to orthodontic care in Scottish Health Board areas during the period 1966–1975, shows that the amount of orthodontic treatment given by general dental practitioners in Scotland has diminished in the 10 year period studied. A wide variation was observed in respect of the mean number of orthodontic treatments per year per practitioner, and there was also a lack of uniformity in the proportion of practitioners providing an orthodontic service relative to the different area health boards. The findings have also shown that between 1966–1975, a considerable reduction has occurred in the mean number of practitioner orthodontic treatments commenced each year in the Greater Glasgow and Lothian Health Board areas. The evidence of this study also suggests that orthodontics should become recognized as a postgraduate dental specialty and that it would be appropriate to introduce specialist registration as a means of improving the quality and quantity of orthodontic care within the National Health Service. This should also be accompanied by certain administrative changes, as the present anomalous situation whereby specialist practitioners are permitted to practise within the general dental service should be discontinued.

Iatrogenic Harm

This is the first article in a three-part series considering uncommon dental anomalies and treatment approaches. Dental transpositions are rare anomalies which may present to the general dental practitioner or orthodontist. The management of transpositions is dependent on several factors, including the sub-type, severity and the other salient features of the malocclusion. Transposition may either be accepted or orthodontically corrected and the adoption of either approach must be preceded by thorough assessment of the patient. CPD/Clinical Relevance: The presentation and management of transposition is variable. The general dental practitioner must be aware of the clinical features of a developing transposition as certain treatment options are only possible before the transposition is fully established. In addition, the orthodontist must be mindful of the potential for iatrogenic harm if these dental anomalies are managed injudiciously.
