Although there is dental research on quality of life, evidence\u2010based practice, and oral behaviours, those concepts are rarely applied to dental needs estimation. Dental needs are usually calculated mainly from clinical data and are likely to be inaccurate. A structured comprehensive method for assessing dental needs is required. The objectives of this study are to develop and test a new sociodental system of needs assessment for overall dental needs of primary schoolchildren. Furthermore, normative and sociodental estimates of need are compared.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Design.\u2002<\/jats:bold> The study developed a theoretical framework and pathway algorithms of sociodental needs assessment and applied them to assessing overall dental needs. Normative dental needs were assessed using standard normative criteria. The child oral impacts on daily performances (Child\u2010OIDP) was used to assess oral impacts, and a self\u2010administered questionnaire was used to obtain information on demographic variables and oral behaviours. Data were analysed according to the developed algorithms.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Setting.\u2002<\/jats:bold> A cross\u2010sectional survey in Suphanburi Province, Thailand.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Participants.\u2002<\/jats:bold> All 1126 children aged 11\u201312\u00a0years in a town.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Main results.\u2002<\/jats:bold> The sociodental approach was acceptable and not costly. In all, 54\u00b74% had normative need under the dental needs model for life\u2010threatening and progressive conditions, but only 16\u00b76% had high propensity\u2010related need; the remaining 37\u00b78% would require dental health education or oral health promotion (DHE\/OHP) or both and appropriately adjusted clinical interventions. Under the basic model of dental needs, 45\u00b71% had normative need. Two\u2010thirds of them (30\u00b79%) had impact\u2010related need and the remaining 14\u00b72% did not have oral impacts and therefore should only receive dental health education. Only one\u2010third of those with impact\u2010related need had high propensity and were suitable for evidence\u2010based conventional treatments; the remaining two\u2010thirds should receive DHE\/OHP and alternative clinical interventions.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions.\u2002<\/jats:bold> A sociodental system of dental needs assessment was developed and tested on school children. It decreased the estimates of conventionally assessed dental treatment needs and introduced a broader approach to care.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-263x.2006.00701.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,1,19]],"date-time":"2006-01-19T18:47:21Z","timestamp":1137696441000},"page":"81-88","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":61,"title":["A sociodental approach to assessing dental needs of children: concept and models"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"S.","family":"GHERUNPONG","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"G.","family":"TSAKOS","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"A.","family":"SHEIHAM","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2006,1,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_2","first-page":"69","volume-title":"Problems and Progress in Medical Care.","author":"Bradshaw JS","year":"1972"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_2","first-page":"155","article-title":"Oral health systems in the extended European Union","volume":"3","author":"Widstr\u00f6m E","year":"2004","journal-title":"Oral Health and Preventive Dentistry"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_2","volume-title":"General Dental Service Annual Statistics April 2000\u2013March 2001","author":"Dental Practice Board Orthodontics","year":"2002"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1875-595X.2002.tb00642.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_2","first-page":"7","article-title":"Oral health financing in Thailand","volume":"4","author":"Phenkhae L","year":"1999","journal-title":"Journal of Thai Dental Public Health"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_2","volume-title":"Community Oral Health","author":"Sheiham A"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_2","first-page":"12","volume-title":"Measuring Oral Health and Quality of Life","author":"Locker D","year":"1997"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_9_2","volume-title":"Measuring Health: A Review of Quality of Life Measurement Scales","author":"Bowling A","year":"1997"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2190\/LE7A-UGBW-J3NR-Q992"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_11_2","volume-title":"Measuring Oral Health and Quality of Life","author":"Slade GD","year":"1997"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_12_2","first-page":"3","article-title":"Measuring oral health: a conceptual framework","volume":"5","author":"Locker D","year":"1988","journal-title":"Community Dental Health"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1179\/146531204225011364"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_14_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1477-7525-1-40"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_15_2","first-page":"12","volume-title":"Problems and Progress in Medical Care: Essays on Current Research 6th Series","author":"Matthew GK","year":"1971"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_16_2","first-page":"20","article-title":"Needs assessment","volume":"23","author":"Stevens A","year":"1991","journal-title":"Health Trends"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_17_2","first-page":"1","volume-title":"Health Needs Assessment in Practice","author":"Wright J","year":"1998"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_18_2","first-page":"26","volume-title":"Effectiveness and Efficiency: Random Reflections on Health Services.","author":"Cochrane AL","year":"1999"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_19_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-0528.1993.tb01096.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_20_2","volume-title":"Adult Dental Health Survey: Oral Health in the United Kingdom.","author":"Kelly M","year":"2000"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_21_2","unstructured":"National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.Survey questionnaires examination components and laboratory components \u2013 oral health.
