Teeth

2.3K
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:

  • Dental Public Health
  • Health Workforce Research
  • Health Disparities

Background:

  • Data on underrepresented minority (URM) dental providers, including African American (AA), Hispanic/Latino (HL), and American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) dentists, are critically lacking.
  • Existing datasets are insufficient to address key research questions regarding URM dental professionals.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe available data sources on URM dental providers.
  • To critically evaluate primary survey research concerning AA, HL, and AI/AN dentists.

Main Methods:

  • A national sample survey was conducted from October 2012 to March 2013.
  • The survey utilized 21 sampling frames, including censuses of AI/AN and nonurban dentists.
  • Data collected included demographics, education, practice history, patient demographics, volunteerism, discrimination experiences, and opinions on dental issues.

Main Results:

  • Existing data sources were found inadequate for answering critical research questions about URM dentists.
  • The national survey achieved a 34% adjusted response rate, adhering to best practices.
  • Selection likelihood and response bias were adjusted using base and poststratification weights.

Conclusions:

  • The survey design followed best practices, and response analytics indicate representative data of the URM dentist population were obtained.
  • Further enhancements in study design, content, and response rates are necessary for a more comprehensive understanding of URM providers, their perspectives, and practices.
