    Abstract Unintentional injury remains the leading cause of death in U.S. children. This article provides a case evaluation of a school based youth safety education program based on the Think First National Injury Prevention Program curriculum. Partners for the program included an urban elementary school, a school of nursing, a Safe Kids Coalition, a regional trauma center, and pediatric, community, and critical care nurses. A convenience sample of 140 second grade children in a mid-Atlantic elementary school participated in a 1 hour-a-week injury prevention class over the course of 6 weeks. The Think First National Injury Prevention Program served as the core curriculum and evaluation framework. At the end of the program, knowledge test scores increased an average of 35% over pre-test measures. Ninety-eight percent of the faculty, staff nurses, student nurses, children, and parents indicated a positive overall value of the program and the need for it to continue on an ongoing basis. Safety resources are provided for pediatric nurses to use in their diverse practice settings.

    Abstract Substance use is a leading national health problem, and school nurses are in pivotal positions to assist with prevention activities to reduce this growing epidemic. In response to increasing rates of parental and youth substance use and abuse, a collaborative research-service-education partnership was established between a college of nursing and an elementary school in a low-income, urban community. A two-part pilot study of parental knowledge and behaviors of drug use, and the evaluation of a first- and third-grade drug education model, are described in this paper. Although the findings cannot be generalized, they yield useful information for parental, youth, and neighborhood teaching and future research. Over half of parents consumed alcohol, and 60% smoked cigarettes. Forty-seven percent of parents reported discussing drugs with their child. However, only 22% of the parents who used substances reported talking about drugs with their children. The pilot drug education sessions, two, 30-45 minute sessions a week for 8 weeks, resulted in an average of 30% higher posttest knowledge scores in the first and third graders. Drug education classes should be offered every year for patients and youth, kindergarten through twelfth grade.

    Abstract This article presents an academic-public health partnership needs assessment. Given the many health systems changes, the Delaware Division of Public Health and the University of Delaware joined forces to study partnership options and public health staff's education needs. This assessment was the first phase of a four-stage, multiyear research-service partnership. The top three education needs identified by the sample (n = 36) of public health staff were (1) community assessment, (2) partnership building, and (3) core functions. Distance education formats were selected as the most popular choice for education updates. Findings support the need for continued education and the use of academic-government partnerships as an education-service delivery resource. Perceived benefits of academic-public health partnerships include staff training, student learning opportunities, improved community services, and increased collaborative research.

    Abstract The purpose of this study was to compare curets with a small blade to slim ultrasonic inserts on their efficacy in removing artificial deposits from the root trunk and furcation entrance areas of mandibular molars using an in vitro model simulating a clinically closed root debridement approach. The study was conducted on 100 artificial mandibular first molars (50 right side and 50 left side) with anatomical roots. Root trunks, furcation entrances, and furcation areas of each molar were colored by a coat of black model paint. The teeth were fixed in a custom acrylic model and maintained in a firm position by modified acrylic occlusal splints. The root areas were covered with a heavy rubber dam imitating gingival tissue. The model was attached to a mannequin and mounted on a dental chair. Fifty molars (25 right, 25 left) were instrumented with the experimental curets and an equivalent number of molars with the ultrasonic inserts. The instrumentation was carried out by one experienced operator, spending 4 minutes on each molar. The instrumented areas were individually analyzed to determine the percentage of deposits remaining, using a computerized imaging routine system. One-way analysis of variance was conducted to test for differences between both types of instruments. Results revealed that the curets were significantly more efficient (P < 0.01) than the ultrasonic inserts in removing paint from both root trunks and furcation entrances. These findings should be corroborated in a clinical study to determine the potential value of the instruments tested during initial therapy or supportive care of involved mandibular furcations.

    Abstract The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the extent of deposits removed from within the furcation area of mandibular first molars following the use of curets with a modified blade and slim ultrasonic inserts in an in vitro model simulating a closed root debridement approach to furcation treatment. The furcation areas of 100 artificial mandibular first molars were uniformly coated with black model paint. The molars were fixed into a custom acrylic model, maintained in a firm position with modified occlusal splints, and the roots covered with a heavy rubber dam. The model was set in a mannequin and mounted on a dental chair recreating a clinical situation. Fifty molars (25 right, 25 left) were instrumented with the experimental curets and an equivalent number of molars with the ultrasonic inserts. An experienced dental hygienist completed all the instrumentation, spending 4 minutes on each molar. The molars were sectioned buccolingually from the crown apically to separate the roots, and areas in the internal surface of mesial and distal roots were analyzed to determine the percentage of deposits remaining using a computerized imaging routine system. A 2-factor analysis of variance was conducted to test for differences between both types of instruments. The curets produced furcation root surfaces with significantly less percentage of residual deposits than the ultrasonic inserts (P < 0.01). This study indicates the potential value of small bladed curets in debriding involved furcations during initial therapy and supportive periodontal therapy. The current findings should be corroborated in a clinical study.

    Abstract Removal of plaque and calculus from subgingival root surfaces is a fundamental aspect of periodontal therapy. A new type of periodontal curet (Gracey Curvette Sub-0) has been designed to better adapt to the root surfaces that may be encountered in periodontal pockets of incisor teeth. The new curet (test) was compared to a Gracey curet 1/2 (conventional) in their ability to remove deposits from the subgingival root surfaces of incisor teeth in an in vitro model. A dentiform model mounted on a dental chair was used with artificial gingiva, 6 mm pocket depths and subgingival root surfaces covered with black enamel paint. 2 groups of 12 hygienists used, on a timed basis, either the test or conventional curet on 4 of the incisor teeth and then switched to the alternate instrument for the remaining four incisors. The extent of surface material removal was determined using a computerized video routine. The test curet removed significantly (p less than 0.001) more of the surface material from all subgingival incisor root surfaces than the conventional curet (60.7% versus 46.3%). Both instruments were most effective at labial surfaces. The test curet was least effective at proximal surfaces and the conventional curet least effective at lingual surfaces. The greatest statistical difference between instruments was apparent at lingual surfaces of maxillary incisors and the least at mesial surfaces of mandibular incisors.
