In 2021, the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) released Oral Health in America: Advances and Challenge, which was an update to the Oral Health in America: A Report of the Surgeon General published in 2000. This latest publication reiterated that oral health is inextricably linked to general health and well‐being, and reviewed advances and ongoing challenges in oral health with an emphasis on disparities and inequalities of burden of disease and access and affordability of oral health care. There is an ongoing concern about the availability of oral health care for people with complex medical and physical conditions, and those with nonsurgical problems of the maxillofacial region. Some patient populations have better access than others to oral health care services, as well as sources of funding and advocacy groups. Access is further complicated by a longstanding shortage of dentists trained to manage these problems and patient populations. Dental students generally have minimal exposure to medically complex patients and clinical problems that define the specialty area of oral medicine in the United States. Thus, there is an increasing need for medical center‐based training programs in hospital dentistry and oral medicine. These pre‐ and postdoctoral trainees will be called upon to manage oral health for the growing population of both ambulatory and hospitalized medically complex patients and provide appropriate care for those with oral mucosal diseases. This book provides support for these health professionals in all stages of learning and professional development.
Providing dental care to people with disabilities and a wide variety of medical illnesses is practiced by a relatively small but dedicated group of clinicians. Some have postdoctoral training in medical center‐based residencies, and some may have acquired these skills during their careers. Patients with special needs make up a broad range of medical, physical, and emotional conditions, many of whom require dental care in the nontraditional settings of a hospital‐based emergency department, an operating room under sedation or general anesthesia, and/or as an inpatient at the bedside. Clinical space, specialized equipment, and trained support staff are also important elements to facilitate access to oral care for patients with special needs. Larger hospitals may have fully staffed and equipped dental departments that provide care for hospitalized patients, as well as for ambulatory medically complex patients from the surrounding community. Most hospitals in the United States, however, offer neither inpatient nor outpatient special needs dental services, and in these communities, people with complex medical conditions must seek oral health care from a wide variety of community‐based medical and dental practitioners.
Formal, hospital‐based advanced educational programs for recent dental school graduates began in the United States in the 1930s with one‐year, elective “rotating dental internships.” Over the following decades, these residencies gained popularity among dental students who recognized their lack of training in this discipline. This then helped to create demand for expansion in the number of these programs. One and two‐year general practice residencies (GPRs) became more uniformly structured and formal accreditation guidelines by the American Dental Association’s Commission on Dental Accreditation (ADA CODA) set standards for these programs (available online at: https://coda.ada.org/standards). ADA CODA standards also exist to support specialty advanced education programs in oral medicine.
Many GPR programs integrate dental residents into a medical center such that they have parity with their medical and surgical colleagues in training structure and exposure to hospital‐based care. They focus on aspects of clinical and didactic training beyond that available at the pre‐doctoral or dental school level to include exposure to difficult cases of infection, trauma, bleeding, and pain, as well as to a wide spectrum of nonsurgical problems of the maxillofacial region. Such complex oral health care services require at least a basic understanding of physical risk assessment, general medicine, principles of anesthesia, and exposure to a variety of other disciplines and skills. Medically complex patients also require the integration and coordination of dental and medical care plans through interdisciplinary consultation and teamwork.
In the United States, there are two professional groups that have been in existence for over 80 years to support oral health professionals with a commitment to these patient populations. The Special Care Dentistry Organization (SCDA; https://www.scdaonline.org) which, in addition to hospital dentistry, also represents the fields of geriatric dentistry and dentistry for persons with disabilities. The other group is the American Academy of Oral Medicine (AAOM; https://www.aaom.com), which has a focus on two major groups, medically complex patients and the people with nonsurgical problems of the maxillofacial region. These two clinical disciplines are organized and practiced somewhat differently throughout the world. In some countries, medically complex patients and oral medicine are separate disciplines, and in others they are combined under one dental specialty, as is the case in the United States. In 2020, the National Commission on Recognition of Dental Specialties and Certifying Boards recognized Oral Medicine as the 11th ADA‐recognized dental specialty in the United States and is defined as “the specialty of dentistry responsible for the oral health care of medically complex patients and for the diagnosis and management of medically‐related diseases, disorders and conditions affecting the oral and maxillofacial region” (https://ncrdscb.ada.org/recodnized‐dental‐specialties). Like‐minded individuals are encouraged to explore membership opportunities in these professional groups that hold annual scientific conferences with continuing education offerings.
Future challenges include defining and approving an internationally accepted baseline training for oral medicine at both the dental school and postdoctoral level, further integrating medicine and dentistry, building interdisciplinary teams, developing collaborative care systems, improving reimbursement for oral health services, and supporting research in this area. The further development of specialty examinations, credentialing, and international cooperation in the form of scientific meetings and research will translate into better care for these patient populations.
