    Objectives There are dental and medical consensus statements stating oral health care is safe throughout pregnancy. This survey seeks to assess the attitudes and practice of Michigan Dental Association dentists regarding the oral health and treatment of pregnant patients as a preliminary assessment to facilitate state perinatal oral health initiatives. Methods Surveys were sent to all 4,494 Michigan Dental Association (MDA) members via the Michigan Dental Association List Serv between July and September of 2013 using an online survey instrument. There were 347 respondents, a response rate of 7.72 percent. Results Of the respondents, 91 percent strongly agree that oral health care is an important part of prenatal care, but only 37 percent indicate they provide restorative procedures and periodontal scaling and root planning procedures throughout all stages of pregnancy. Conclusions MDA dentists believe oral health care is important for pregnant patients. There is a need to provide continuing education in the management of pregnant patients.

    Attitudes

    Attitude is our evaluation of a person, an idea, or an object. We have attitudes for many things ranging from products that we might pick up in the supermarket to people around the world to political policies. Typically, attitudes are favorable or unfavorable: positive or negative (Eagly & Chaiken, 1993). And, they have three components: an affective component (feelings), a behavioral component (the effect of the attitude on behavior), and a cognitive component (belief and knowledge;...

    Surveys

    Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

    Introduction to Surveying, Plane Surveying and Geodetic Surveys

    Surveying is the art and science of mapping the earth's surface. It involves measuring distances, angles in horizontal or vertical directions, and levels to understand the shape and size of land features. Surveying techniques are essential for various tasks, such as identifying the levels of a land area with reference to a specific point, and mapping undulations and water bodies.There are two main types of surveying: plane surveys and geodetic surveys. Plane surveys assume the earth is flat,...

    Errors and Mistakes in Surveying

    Errors and mistakes in surveying refer to inaccuracies in measurements and data recording. The errors are deviations from the actual value caused by human sensory limitations, equipment flaws, or environmental effects. These errors are typically unintentional and can result from the inherent imperfections in the instruments used, atmospheric conditions, or the observer’s inability to perceive exact measurements. On the other hand, mistakes are caused by the surveyor's lack of...

    Types of Surveys

    Surveys are essential for marking property boundaries near water bodies. Different types of surveys are defined, each with its own function. Land surveys mark the property boundaries, while route surveys determine the position of properties on nearby highways. Topographic surveys create maps by capturing the three-dimensional features of the land. Hydrographic surveys focus on the shapes of underwater areas and the movement of streams through the properties. Mine surveys determine the relative...

    Survey Safety01:28

    Survey Safety

    Surveying near highways, rough terrain, or power lines involves significant risks. Working along highways is particularly dangerous and requires the use of warning signs and flagmen. It is safest to avoid working directly on roads and use offsets whenever possible. When highway work is unavoidable, it must follow all safety guidelines. Surveyors should wear bright clothing, such as orange reflective vests, to ensure visibility to motorists, coworkers, and hunters. In construction zones, wearing...
