Abstract

Disaster and pandemic response events require an interprofessional team of health care responders to organize and work together in high-pressure, time-critical situations. Civilian oral health care professionals have traditionally been limited to forensic identification of human remains. However, after the bombing of the Twin Towers in New York, federal agencies realized that dentists can play significant roles in disaster and immunization response, especially on interprofessional responder teams. Several states have begun to incorporate dentists into the first responder community. This article discusses the roles of dental responders and highlights legislative advancements and advocacy efforts supporting the dental responder.

摘要

灾难和大流行应对事件需要一支跨专业的医疗响应团队在高压、时间紧迫的情况下进行组织和协同工作。传统上，平民口腔保健专业人员仅限于对人类遗骸进行法医鉴定。然而，在纽约双子塔爆炸事件之后，联邦机构意识到牙医在灾难和免疫接种应对中可以发挥重要作用，尤其是在跨专业响应团队中。一些州已开始将牙医纳入第一响应者群体。本文讨论了牙科响应者的作用，并强调了支持牙科响应者的立法进展和宣传努力。
