    Area of Science:

    • Oral Health
    • Prison Healthcare
    • Healthcare Administration

    Background:

    • Limited research exists on dental surgeons' roles within correctional facilities.
    • Prisons present a unique dual administrative structure (penitentiary and hospital).
    • Understanding stakeholder perceptions of oral healthcare and inter-administrative interactions is crucial.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess perceptions of oral healthcare in prisons from hospital and penitentiary administration agents.
    • To analyze the interactions between prison and hospital professionals.
    • To identify contextual elements, professional cultures, and interaction dynamics.

    Main Methods:

    • Conducted 18 semi-structured interviews with key prison personnel (directors, officers, physicians, dentists).
    • Utilized three analytical categories: context, professional culture, and interactions.
    • Focused on perceptions of oral healthcare delivery and administrative collaboration.

    Main Results:

    • Dentists occupy a distinct position within prison healthcare settings, separate from other medical specialties.
    • The practice of dentistry uniquely impacts body image and self-esteem, setting it apart.
    • Specific expertise and considerations of medical secrecy define the dental role in prison.

    Conclusions:

    • Dental surgeons are uniquely positioned within prison healthcare units.
    • Dentistry's focus on health, self-image, and self-esteem makes dentists valuable intermediaries.
    • This role facilitates improved interactions between penitentiary and hospital administrations, supporting inmate reintegration.
