On the day of our interview, Frances has just received the results
of a survey of HSE dental surgeon members of the Irish
Dental Association (IDA). The survey has been a personal
project and she is delighted to see it completed: “Last
year when I took over as President, I was very
conscious that staff morale in the HSE Dental Service
was very low, and that many of my colleagues
appeared extremely stressed. Work-related stress is
hugely significant from a health and safety point of
view, and I decided to commission a survey of
members to try to quantify it”.

INTRODUCTION: Many factors can contribute to the development of gingival overgrowth (hyperplasia), including: plaque
control; periodontal variables; medications and their relative dose; age; sex; and, genetic factors. Nifedipine is a calcium
channel blocker commonly reported to result in drug-induced gingival overgrowth (DIGO). This report outlines a case of
gingival overgrowth induced by amlodipine (a calcium channel blocker less frequently reported to cause gingival hyperplasia),
exacerbated by the presence of plaque.
CASE REPORT: A 63-year-old male presented to the dental outpatient clinic at the Dublin Dental University Hospital with severe
DIGO. He reported that his gums had started to enlarge two years previously, but that he was now concerned as they were
increasing in size and had become firmer. Medically, the patient had hypertension, hyperlipidaemia, was taking amlodipine
10mg once daily, and was a former smoker. Following initial oral hygiene instruction and local debridement to reduce the
gingival inflammation, some of the remaining excess gingival tissues were removed surgically and sent for histopathological
analysis.

MacCarthy, D; McAlister, C; O'Sullivan, E
A campaign to promote awareness of mouth, head and neck cancer in Ireland began in 2010. This campaign was initiated
primarily by a group of cancer survivors, the Irish Dental Health Foundation, Irish Cancer Society and the university
dental schools in Cork and Dublin. The first Mouth Cancer Awareness Day (MCAD) was held at the Cork and Dublin Dental
University Hospitals in September 2010. In order to make the free examinations more accessible throughout the country,
the Irish Dental Association became a partner in the campaign in September 2011.

In common
with many other countries we are short or dentists
and it is difficult to predict how quickly this
will be solved but it will. We have a particular
problem or unequal distribution or dentists and
on the evidence we have available it wculd seem
that this is much less amenable to a solution;
that even with a major increase in the number or
dentists some areas will still be without reasonable
numbers. Finally in a state such as ours whose resources are
unlikely to permit a complete and comprehensive
dental care service for all it is important that groups
selected for care are selected on rational grounds
to ensure the best investment for money.
Thank you

Abstract
Recent attention in the media concerning the Dental Treatment Services Scheme (DTSS) centres on the number of contracting dentists as a surrogate measure of the availability of services to adult medical card holders in the Republic of Ireland.
AIM: To determine the trend in the number of contracting dentists on the DTSS panel during the year 07/'07 to 07/'08.
METHODS AND DATA: Data were extracted from the database of monthly claims for remuneration, submitted by providers, which is held by the HSE.
RESULTS: The average number of contractors was 1,258. The trend over the year was a reduction of 1.6% in contractor numbers. The average number of 'active' contractors was 833. The trend over the year was a reduction in 'active' contractor numbers of 6.2%. In any month, approximately 34% of contracting dentists were not active.
CONCLUSIONS: The trend in the number of contracting dentists was a poor indicator of the trend in availability of services to medical card holders. A better approach would be to count the number of 'active' contractors, in conjunction with their geographic spread and medical card holder density.
