Book excerpt: The objective of the EURO-QUAL programme has been to improve the quality of care for the individual patient. At the same time the need for harmonisation of health care in Europe was recognised. This Quality Improvement System (QIS) for orthodontic care in Europe comprises of 'Guidelines for how to implement a QIS' and reference material from the project teams: Financial Resources, Professional Development, Consumer Satisfaction, and Industrial Co-operation. In this respect the following topics are discussed: * The differences and similarities in local (national) quality initiatives. * The use of databases, as a technique to improve quality by comparing one's own performance against that of colleagues. * The influence of the different national systems of funding on both the amount of care provided as well as the quality of care. * The contents and the quality of the educational programmes, at all levels of orthodontic care. * Promotion of patients' rights and responsibilities before, during and after the orthodontic treatment. * A common goal and common language with the industrial partners by which the interaction can be optimised and communication will be enriched. This book provides the background information for the appropriate use of the European Orthodontic Quality Manual (EOQM). Strategies for the implementation of a QIS in orthodontics, taking into account the complex of the outlined aspects, make this book interesting for the orthodontic professional as well as the stakeholders (education, funding, industry, and consumers) in orthodontic care.

Book excerpt: The benefits for the professional working within a quality culture are manifold, but even more important, the patient is the final arbiter of quality care. Therefore patient centred aspects of treatment are focused upon in this manual. A quality manual intended for European use has to respect the national regulations and European diversity, and therefore needs to be flexible. The EOQM has been structured according to the treatment of the individual patient, which is what all professionals have in common, and which also is the most important target for quality improvement in orthodontic practice. The EOQM is primarily designed as a stimulus for the orthodontic professional to assess and improve the quality of orthodontic care. A Quality Improvement System (QIS) provides support for starting and maintaining activities. The manual provides tools to systematically assess and develop quality-related actions at individual (patient) treatment level and practice level. A systematic and comprehensive description of the treatment process is essential in order to provide a basis for establishing a QIS. Implementing a QIS will influence the provision of orthodontic care by: * Demonstrating the potentials for development of the organisational elements of orthodontics. * Planning and integrating systematic activities to monitor and improve treatment at the practice level and the patient-related level. Orthodontic treatment process is the central element in this manual. The route taken by an individual patient is described step by step. * Flowcharts describe the orthodontic treatment of the individual patient step by step. * Guidelines indicate what the professional should do at the various steps in order to follow the generally accepted objectives of orthodontics as described in the policy statements. * Indicators are tools to measure the effectiveness and efficiency of treatment. The indicators provide the professional with facts about own performance. The EOQM, provides the orthodontic professional with a model for incorporating quality improvement into daily practice, which is based on European orthodontic consensus and current principles of quality in health care. It can be incorporated in the quality initiatives that are already being developed nationally and vice versa.

This book was released on 1996 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the first questions asked by new orthodontic patients is: How long will I need to wear my braces? A multitude of factors have the potential to influence the answer to this question. The purpose of this retrospective study was to identify some of the primary factors which influence orthodontic treatment duration. Few studies have attempted to evaluate these factors previously. Data were gathered from 140 consecutively completed, comprehensive treatment patient records in five orthodontic offices. Thirty-one variables related to patient characteristics, diagnostic factors, modality of treatment, and patient cooperation were evaluated. Permanent teeth were extracted in 24.3% of the cases, and 12.1% were treated in more than one phase. Average treatment time was 28.6 months with a range of 23.4 to 33.4 months among the five offices. Nearly half (46.9 percent) of the variation in treatment duration was explained by a five-step multiple regression analysis. By comparison, previous studies using a similar regression analysis have explained 25% to 33% of the treatment time variation in their samples. Included in the regression equation were 1) the number of missed appointments, 2) the sum of replaced brackets and bands, 3) the number of treatment phases, 4) the number of negative chart entries regarding oral hygiene, and 5) whether or not headgear wear was prescribed during treatment. A second regression analysis was then run to examine the additional contribution of between office differences to the explanation of variation in treatment time. An additional 6.7% of the variance was explained by variation among the five offices. Even though a total of 53.6% of the variance in the duration of orthodontic treatment could be explained by multiple regression analysis, a significant portion was left unexplained. Six of the thirt-one variables examined made a statistically significant ([alpha]= 0.01) contribution to the explanation of variation in treatment time. The quality of the finished cases and the appropriateness of the original diagnosis and treatment plan were not evaluated. Developing an objective assessment to evaluate these areas may be important for increasing our understanding of treatment time. The quality of the finished cases and the appropriateness of the original diagnosis and treatment plan were not evaluated. Developing an objective assessment to evaluate these areas may be important for increasing our understanding of treatment time variation in the future.

Abstract: Abstract of thesis entitled CHANGES IN CHILDREN'S ORAL HEALTH RELATED QUALITY OF LIFE FOLLOWING ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT Submitted by ZHANG MAN For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Hong Kong in September 2007 Malocclusion is a common oral disorder and the demand for orthodontic care is increasing among children. There is a dearth of information as to how malocclusion and its treatment impacts on the life quality of children, which has obvious implications in assessing orthodontic treatment need and evaluating outcomes from orthodontic care. This prospective longitudinal study was conducted to identify associations between orthodontic treatment need and child oral health-related quality of life (COHQoL); to determine the level of agreement between parents' and children's perceptions of COHQoL; to determine changes in COHQoL as a result of undergoing fixed orthodontic appliance therapy and to determine changes in COHQoL following orthodontic treatment. Children (aged 11-14) seeking orthodontic treatment were recruited in this study and followed-up over a three year period. Children's parents were also recruited at baseline. Children self-completed the Child Perceptions Questionnaire (CPQ) at baseline (pre-treatment status and expectations of treatment), during orthodontic treatment (at one week, one month, three months, six months, twelve months, and eighteen months after insertion of fixed appliance), and 6-months post-treatment. Their parents completed the Parental Perception Questionnaire (PPQ) and Family Impact scale (FIS) prior to treatment. Children's pretreatment occlusal models were assessed by three commonly used occlusal indices: Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need (IOTN) including Aesthetic Components (AC) and Dental Health Components (DHC), Index of Complexity, Outcome and Need (ICON) and the Dental Aesthetic Index (DAI). Improvements in occlusion following orthodontic treatment was determined by assessing differences in ICON scores obtained from pre- and post- treatment orthodontic casts. CPQ scores and AC scores were significant correlated (r=0.27, p0.05). FIS scores were significantly correlated with scores of ICON (r= 0.26, pDuring orthodontic treatment significant changes in CPQ scores occurred (pThere was significant reduction in CPQ scores 6-months following orthodontic treatment compared to pre-treatment (p0.05). Perceived improvement in oral health was associated with improvement in COHQoL (reduction in CPQ scores) a
