dc.description.abstractObjectiveDental hygienists play a key role in dental caries prevention and management. As the evidence of dental caries risk, prevention, and management becomes more complex, it is essential that dental hygiene (DH) programs have a strong cariology curriculum. This project aimed to assess current cariology content in U.S. DH programs, how content is taught, and interest in development/implementation of a common/core cariology curriculum framework.MethodsDirectors of 336 U.S. DH programs were invited to participate in a voluntary online survey using Qualtrics. The survey consisted of 41 items including demographics, details about the program’s cariology content, and how it was delivered, and items related to a core cariology curriculum.ResultsThe overall response rate used for analyses was 27.3%. Some findings include: 61.6% stated their program had a defined cariology curriculum, 35.2% did not have an individual cariology course, 61.5% had preclinical hands‐on experiences in cariology, 79.7% are teaching management strategies related to salivary gland hypofunction, 68.3% are teaching use of silver diamine fluoride (SDF), and 64.2% felt cariology was adequately being taught. Only 17.7% are teaching the International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS) system. 87.3% indicated support for developing a core curriculum framework for teaching cariology in DH programs.ConclusionsThis study indicated that, although DH programs reported that cariology concepts are being taught both didactically and clinically, discrepancies between concepts taught and the literature exist. Therefore, there is a need to create a more standardized curriculum framework for all U.S. DH programs.
