Effect of a personalised oral health education programme on clinical and molecular risk factors for at-risk populations

最近，一些研究表明，口腔健康状况不佳可能会影响整体健康。然而，对于许多低收入的澳大利亚人来说，由于公共部门的等待名单很长，他们唯一得到的牙科护理是紧急性质的。本研究旨在探讨由口腔健康专业人员提供的口腔健康教育计划是否会显著改善口腔健康，从而在社会经济水平较低的社区中带来更好的口腔和一般健康结果

Recently, a number of studies have shown that poor oral health may impact on general health. However, for many Australians on low incomes, the only dental care they receive is of an emergency nature due to the long waiting lists in the public sector. The current study proposes to look at whether an oral health education program delivered by allied oral health professionals will result in a significant improvement in oral health which in turn will lead to better oral and general health outcomes in a low socio-economic community
