Thermosensation01:43

Thermosensation

Peripheral thermosensation is the perception of external temperature. A change in temperature (on the surface of the skin and other tissues) is detected by a family of temperature-sensitive ion channels called Transient Receptor Potential, or TRP, receptors. These receptors are located on free nerve endings. Those detecting cold temperatures are closer to the surface of the skin than the nerve endings detecting warmth. These thermoTRP channels, while temperature selective, have relatively...

Temperature Dependence on Reaction Rate

The Collision Theory
Atoms, molecules, or ions must collide before they can react with each other. Atoms must be close together to form chemical bonds. This premise is the basis for a theory that explains many observations regarding chemical kinetics, including factors affecting reaction rates.
The collision theory is based on the postulates that (i) the reaction rate is proportional to the rate of reactant collisions, (ii) the reacting species collide in an orientation allowing contact between...

Time-Series Graph00:54

Time-Series Graph

A time-series graph is a line graph with repeated measurements taken at successive intervals of time. It is also called a time series chart. To construct a time-series graph, one must look at both pieces of a paired data set. The horizontal axis is used to plot the time increments, and the vertical axis is used to plot the values of the variable that one is measuring. By using the axes in this way, each point on the graph will correspond to time and a measured quantity. The points on the graph...
Temperature Measurement Sites01:14

Temperature Measurement Sites

A thermometer measures body temperature. The common sites for measuring body temperature are the oral cavity, axillary region, temporal artery, and skin surface, such as the forehead, abdomen, and axilla. True core body temperature is assessed in the rectum, tympanic membrane, pulmonary artery, esophagus, and urinary bladder.
Oral: When assessing oral temperature, the thermometer tip should be placed under the tongue in the posterior sublingual pocket. It offers accurate readings and can be...

Assessing Body Temperature - Temporal Artery

Here is a stepwise guide to assessing the body temperature at the temporal artery using a temporal artery thermometer
Step 1: Perform hand hygiene and don a fresh pair of gloves to prevent cross-infection and ensure patient safety.
Step 2: Explain the procedure to the patient to establish trust. Clear communication establishes trust with the patient, ensures they understand what to expect, promotes cooperation, and enhances comfort during the procedure.  
Step 3: Assess the patient's forehead...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

General dental practitioners (GDPs) in the UK now take longer to complete treatments compared to 1999. Despite this, GDPs report fewer working hours and lower real-term earnings.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Health Services Research
  • Behavioural Science

Background:

  • Dental incentive structures and treatment timings influence UK general dental practitioners' (GDPs) behaviour.
  • The British Dental Association (BDA) has historically studied treatment times, with the 1999 Heathrow Timings study being a key reference.
  • Significant changes in the UK General Dental Service (GDS) since 1999 necessitate updated research on treatment durations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a contemporary understanding of the time required for clinical treatments performed by GDPs in the UK.
  • To gather current insights into the working hours and operational patterns of GDPs.
  • To compare current treatment times and working conditions with historical data from the 1999 Heathrow study.

Main Methods:

  • A mixed-method research design was employed, adapting the methodology of the BDA's Heathrow Timings study.
  • Data were collected through an online survey and group discussions involving 15 GDPs.
  • Average times were calculated for 34 adult and 12 child dental treatments.

Main Results:

  • GDPs reported working an average of 35.23 hours per week, with an average hourly rate of £39.94.
  • A comparison with the 1999 Heathrow study revealed increased time requirements for numerous treatments, including examinations, root canals, extractions, composite fillings, porcelain veneers, dentures, and pediatric extractions.
  • The study indicated a reduction in both working hours and real-term earnings for GDPs over the last two decades.

Conclusions:

  • This study offers an updated perspective on dental treatment durations for UK GDPs.
  • Findings suggest a trend of increased chair time for specific procedures compared to 1999.
  • The research highlights a concerning decrease in both working hours and real-term earnings for GDPs over the past 20 years.
