Nearly half of orthodontic patients need further dental care, highlighting a need for better collaboration between orthodontic services and general dental practitioners. This ensures comprehensive patient treatment and improved oral health outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Orthodontics
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Orthodontic treatment often identifies unmet dental needs.
  • Coordination between orthodontic and general dental services can be suboptimal.
  • Previous studies indicate varying referral patterns internationally.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To audit the restorative and preventive dental needs of orthodontic patients.
  • To assess the rate of referral required for routine dental care among these patients.
  • To explore potential correlations with patient demographics and malocclusion types.

Main Methods:

  • An initial audit of 600 orthodontic patients assessed by the Eastern Health Board.
  • Review of patient records to identify needs for restorative and preventive dental care.

  • Analysis of referral trends based on gender and malocclusion classification.

    • Main Results:

    • 47% of audited orthodontic patients required referral for routine restorative and preventive dental care.
    • A higher referral rate was observed in females.
    • The prevalence of Class II Division 1 malocclusion correlated with higher referral rates, consistent with international findings.

    Conclusions:

    • A significant proportion of orthodontic patients have untreated dental needs.
    • Enhanced collaboration between orthodontic providers and general dental practitioners is crucial.
    • Addressing these needs requires integrated care pathways for comprehensive oral health management.
