Abstract

The SILOC scale showed satisfactory reliability and validity in measuring locus of control orientation in an Indian adolescent population.

Protective psychosocial factors and dental caries in children and adolescents: a systematic review and meta‐analysis

“…Of them, 35 were thereafter excluded according to the eligibility criteria, resulting in 40 papers for inclusion. Of them, 5 were duplicate reports of the same study and were also removed. This systematic review included a total of 35 studies: 20 studies involving children and 15 studies involving early adolescents.…”

Some young adults can maintain good oral health despite socioeconomic challenges

“…The young adults in this study described, for example, self‐efficacy, an internal locus of control, self‐control, motivation, and self‐esteem. Several previous studies with adolescents have shown an association between adolescents’ psychosocial assets (such as social support [50], locus of control [51], and sense of coherence [52, 53]) and their oral health. The diverse narrations in the sub‐category ‘Stable, safe, and supportive environment’ showed (in line with a previous study) that social support does not necessarily need to come from family but can come from a special person [54].…”

Prevention and control of dental caries and periodontal diseases at individual and population level: consensus report of group 3 of joint EFP/ORCA workshop on the boundaries between caries and periodontal diseases

“…There is some evidence that having a strong internal perception of control contributes to the prevention and control of dental caries and periodontal diseases (Acharya et al. ).…”
