INTRODUCTION
There is a growing need for inter-professional education (IPE) to reduce the burden of oral diseases and address oral health disparities. Professional websites associated with inter-professional education can serve as a reliable source of information about oral health. Hence, the study was conducted to determine the prevalence of oral health content on non-dental health professional associations' websites in India.
METHODS
Eighty-nine organizations were selected from five types of health professional associations. Six dental search terms were used on searchable websites. The keywords were dental, oral, dentistry, mouth, teeth, and fluoride. Websites were assessed for any oral health content.
RESULTS
Only four websites (4.5%) had any oral health content, and all four were physician-related.
CONCLUSION
The study highlights the limited and inconsistent oral health content on non-dental professional association websites. Improving the availability, accuracy, and comprehensiveness of oral health information on these platforms is crucial to enhancing oral health literacy and promoting better oral health outcomes.
引言
跨专业教育（IPE）对于减轻口腔疾病负担和解决口腔健康差异的需求日益增长。与跨专业教育相关的专业网站可作为口腔健康信息的可靠来源。因此，开展本研究以确定印度非牙科健康专业协会网站上口腔健康内容的 prevalence。
方法
从五类健康专业协会中选取了八十九个组织。在可搜索网站上使用了六个牙科搜索词。关键词为牙科、口腔、牙科学、嘴、牙齿和氟化物。对网站进行评估以查看是否有任何口腔健康内容。
结果
只有四个网站（4.5%）有任何口腔健康内容，且这四个网站均与医生相关。
结论
该研究凸显了非牙科专业协会网站上口腔健康内容有限且不一致的情况。提高这些平台上口腔健康信息的可用性、准确性和全面性对于提高口腔健康素养和促进更好的口腔健康结果至关重要。
