      • finish with everyone started with
      • did they know what treatment they got
      • groups equally treated
  1. results
    • effect of treatment
  2. relevance

Q

what is done for water fluoridation and what is its purpose?

A
  • adjust water fluoride conc. to 0.5-1.2ppm (depends on climate as drink more)
  • by adding hydrofluorosilic acid / hexafluosilicic acid / sodium fluorosilicate / sodium silcofluoride
  • to decrease caries prevalence while preventing fluorosis

general alcohol information
- safest way to drink = 14 units a week and evenly over 3 days - alcohol turns into acetaldehyde (carcinogenic part) then acetate then co2 and water - antihistamines make stomach empty faster - blood alcohol peaks 1 hr after consumption and declines over 4 hrs - 90%metabolised in liver, 2-5% excreted in sweat/breath/urine - women worse - smaller blood volume and alcohol assumed more before metabolised (as less dehydrogenase) - effect on boy = anaesthetic, sedation, dopamine and serotonin - genetic risk of alcoholism
38
possible negative effects of heavy drinking on body
- NCTSL (acidic alcohol/vomiting/reflux/brutism) - hypertension - liver problems - vitamin deficiencies - pancreatic disease - osteoperosis / malacia - poor wound healing - epilepsy - oral cancer - xerostomia - osteomyelitis - stroke - cardiac arrhythmias - violence trauma - dental trauma
39
1 unit : ml and percentages for different types of alcohol
1. beer 4% 250ml 2. spirit 40% 25ml 3. wine 13% 76ml 4. cider 4.5% 218ml 14 units = 6 pints, 6 wines, 14 shots

50
What are the 6 types of studies for research
1. Observational uncontrolled studies - what happens to a group of people being treated with something 2. Case/series report - report on single patient / series of similar patients (to identify disease outcome - no control) 3. Cross sectional study - observe specific population at a SPECIFIC POINT IN TIME - identify exposure and outcome at same time CONTROLLED STUDY: 1. Cohort study - observe specific group of people over A PERIOD OF TIME and identify who gets disease and exposures (DIFFERENCE BETWEEN COHORT AND CROSS SECTIONAL) 2. Case control study - study of people with a disease and suitable control group without disease (looks back at exposures to find cause) 3. RANDOMISED CONTROLLED STUDY - gold standard - best results - people randomly placed in two groups (control and intervention) - design elements: I - specify participants (inclusion/exclusion) - age, disease/severity, exact definitions (unambiguous) II - control / comparison groups III - randomisation. IV - blinding/ masking
51
How to avoid bias in studies
- double blind (masking) - researchers and subjects don’t know who is placebo and who is not - same people finish with that started with (all ethnicity etc) - proper random selection, not selected from specific group
52
What is the gold standard study model? What is the use of blinding / masking Advantages and disadvantages
Randomised controlled trial (clinical trial) Participant / researcher / assessor of outcome / data analyst / administrator - could treat person dif if know what group in Good - gives strongest and most direct evidence for something - blinding = more true actual results (proven by as much as 40%) Bad - more difficult to design (ethical issues, cost) - still chance of bias - not suitable for all research questions
