  Diabetes may increase the incidence of tooth decay due to dry mouth and high blood sugar levels. Identifying the factors influencing oral health behaviours in diabetic patients is thus an essential step toward promoting oral and dental health. As a result, this study aimed to predict oral health in people with diabetes and compare them to healthy people.

The available sampling method was used to conduct this study from  2021 to 2022. The study group consisted of 261 persons (men and women), 131 of whom were healthy and 130 of whom were unhealthy (diabetic), and information was gathered through a questionnaire, medical records, and an examination. These people looked at six variables: age, gender, decayed teeth, extracted teeth, filled teeth, and oral health index. Using the Spss Modeler program, two decision tree methods and a support vector machine and spss Modeler soft ware were used.

The most important findings of decision tree analysis are 1- If the person's age is less than or equal to 37 years, then the person is 100% healthy. 2- If the age is over 37 years and the number of decayed teeth is less than the average of 7, and we do not have any extracted teeth, there is an 82% chance of diabetes. If the age is over 37 and the number of decayed teeth is less than the average of 7, and the number of extracted teeth is more than 1, then people under the age of 49 with an OHI index greater than 0.9 are 100% diabetic. Also, the total accuracy of the linear support vector machine is 70.73%, which indicates that decayed teeth with the least amount of weight have little effect on diabetes or health.

 Decision tree algorithms and support vector machines could predict oral and dental health in diabetic patients.

Oral health literacy plays an important role in reducing oral health disparities. Evaluation of oral health literacy can be done at individual and population levels. This study was conducted with the aim of investigating oral health literacy among students of Shiraz University of Medical Sciences in 2023.

This study was descriptive, applied and cross-sectional. The research population included the students of different academic levels of Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, except the final semester students. The sample size was calculated based on the total number of students studying at different levels at Shiraz University of Medical Sciences in the second half of the academic year in 2023 using an appropriate statistical formula. Sampling was done in a stratified-random manner according to faculty, field, and level of education. The oral health literacy of the participants based on education level, age, and gender was measured by the oral health literacy adult questionnaire (OHL Adults Questionnaire: OHL-AQ). Data analysis was done using SPSS 27 software and descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation, percentage), independent t-test, Kruskal-Wallis, and Tukey test.

The findings indicated that the average oral health literacy score of students was 14.75±1.37. Also, there was a statistically significant relationship between the average oral health literacy score of students and the parameters of education level, gender, and age of students (P-value < 0.05). This indictaed that the oral health literacy of students increased in the doctoral level and also with increasing age. In addition, the female students had higher oral health literacy.

Based on the results, the oral health literacy among Shiraz medical students was high. People with higher education level and age had higher level of oral and dental health literacy than people with lower education level and age. Oral and dental health literacy level was higher in girls than boys. It can be suggested that a 1) suitable platform be provided in order to improve the level of education of the society, leading to the improvement of the oral health literacy of the people; 2) regular dental examinations in order to increase the oral health literacy of the society is encouraged and promoted, especially in lower year students; and 3) research in effective training in the field of oral health literacy to increase the oral health literacy of people in the society.

An increase in the use of oral and dental health services and routine examinations can lead to better health and improve health equity indicators. This study aimed to analyze the factors affecting the utilization of oral and dental health services in the households of Ahvaz in 2022.

The present study is a cross-sectional descriptive-analytical study in which 715 households including 2680 people living in the city of Ahvaz were studied by using the stratified-cluster sampling method. The collection of the required data was performed through a questionnaire, and the logistic model and Stata software were used to analyze the data and estimate the elasticity of the influencing factors.

According to the results of this study, the utilization rate of oral and dental health services is 80.55%, and the odd ratio of the utilization of these services is 0.26% less for women compared to men, which is a statistically significant result. People with tertiary education also have a 1.83 times higher chance compared to other people to receive the services, which is statistically significant. People with income but without work have a 0.29 lower chance of receiving these services compared with unemployed people, although this result is not significant. Furthermore, people who have private insurance have 5.84 times more chances to receive these services, and this result is completely significant. Also, the individuals who exercise less than 3 times a week have the chance of receiving these services by 1.25 times compared to people who do not exercise at all, which is a significant result.

Based on the results of this study, it can be mentioned that employment and household income status, increased insurance coverage, higher education level, and a healthy lifestyle, including engaging in physical exercise, increase the chance of benefiting from dental services.

School teachers have key role in providing the basic health information for their students, and their knowledge, attitude, and practice affect children's oral health through developing of the healthy behaviors. The goal of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of an oral health education program for primary school teachers on their knowledge, attitude, and practice fields in the framework of oral health promoting schools.

This quasi-experimental pre-post study was conducted among five oral health promoting schools in Isfahan city in 2019. A validated and reliable questionnaire including four sections of demographic data, knowledge, attitude, and practice was applied for data collection. The questionnaire contained 24 knowledge, 9 attitudes, and 5 practice questions. It was distributed among 63 enrolled teachers at base line and two months later after two educational-emotional workshops. Before and after data were analyzed by SPSS21 (α=0.05) by related samples Wilcoxon signed rank test and background variables by Kruskall-wallis test.

After the educational intervention, their knowledge score increased significantly from 14.1±3.8 to 18.5±3.7 (P<0.001). About 34% of teachers had a high level of knowledge proficiency at the beginning of the study which eventually rose to 76%. Teachers’ attitude decreased significantly from 34.6±5 to 31.4±4.6 (P<0.001). At the beginning of the study, 89% of them had a positive attitude towards oral health programs which decreased to 84% at the end of the study. In the performance part, 63.5% of the teachers paid attention to the fluoride in their toothpaste which reached 87.3% after the workshop and the teachers' performance score increased from 3.07 to 3.39 after the intervention (P<0.012).

The package of educational intervention for teachers in oral health-promoting schools improved the level of knowledge and practice, but slightly reduced the level of attitude. However, due to the importance of changing attitudes in teachers and the existence of structural and programmatic barriers to integrate the health issues into school education, other models need to be evaluated and compared.
