Teeth

The formation of teeth, also known as odontogenesis, is a complex process that begins in utero, around the sixth week of embryonic development. There are three stages to this process: the bud stage, the cap stage, and the bell stage.
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Communication
  • Cross-cultural Healthcare
  • Dental Practice Management

Background:

  • Increasing global mobility necessitates effective communication in diverse healthcare settings.
  • Bilingual Dental Surgery Assistants (DSAs) in Hong Kong bridge language barriers in general dentistry.
  • Existing research lacks detailed analysis of DSA-mediated interactions in dental consultations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine interpreter-mediated communication in cross-cultural general dentistry in Hong Kong.
  • To analyze the role and patterns of interpretation by Dental Surgery Assistants (DSAs).
  • To understand the implications of DSA-mediated talk for patient care and adherence.

Main Methods:

  • A mixed-methods approach combining a language use survey and Conversation Analysis (CA).
  • Survey data collected from 41 Polyclinic DSAs using a logbook and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS).
  • Conversation Analysis (CA) of 23 video-recorded dental consultations between expatriate dentists and Cantonese-speaking patients.

Main Results:

  • DSAs predominantly use Cantonese and interpret for postgraduate staff and professors.
  • Three patterns of mediated interpreting were identified: dentist-designated, dentist-initiated, and assistant-initiated.
  • Assistant-initiated interpretations, often seen positively, address patient difficulties and facilitate dental tasks.

Conclusions:

  • DSA-mediated interpreting is integral to cross-cultural dental care in Hong Kong.
  • Assistant-initiated interpretations contribute to personalized care and patient empowerment.
  • Findings have implications for dental professional education and improving treatment adherence.
