To discover whether dentists are prepared to advise their patients to stop smoking.
Postal questionnaire.
Member countries of the European Union.
Dentists in 12 EU countries.
Dentists' knowledge of links between tobacco-use, general health and periodontal health. Knowledge of, and preparedness to offer, tobacco-cessation activities for patients. Personal and practice smoking policies.
EU-dentists are aware of the harmful effects of tobacco use in general and on oral tissues in particular. Over two-thirds of EU-dentists feel that offering information about tobacco cessation is the dentist's duty, while slightly less actually do so. Lack of time and reimbursement mechanisms are the most often mentioned barriers for co-operation with a campaign. Less than 10 per cent of EU-dentists smoke every day while three-quarters of practices are totally smoke free.
EU-dentists want to be informed and supported on the issue by leaflets, brochures, continuing education and patient education materials. More attention should be paid to the relation of smoking and implant failure.
探究牙医是否愿意建议患者戒烟。
邮寄问卷调查。
欧盟成员国。
12个欧盟国家的牙医。
牙医对烟草使用、总体健康和牙周健康之间联系的认知。为患者提供戒烟活动的认知及意愿。个人及诊所的吸烟政策。
欧盟牙医普遍知晓烟草使用的有害影响，尤其是对口腔组织的影响。超过三分之二的欧盟牙医认为提供戒烟信息是牙医的职责，但实际这样做的比例略低。时间不足和报销机制是最常被提及的与戒烟活动合作的障碍。不到10%的欧盟牙医每天吸烟，而四分之三的诊所完全无烟。
欧盟牙医希望通过传单、手册、继续教育和患者教育材料在该问题上获得信息并得到支持。应更多关注吸烟与种植失败之间的关系。
