ETOY, Switzerland: The role dental hygienists play within the dental industry can sometimes be overlooked, with some curtail work often taking place before a dentist has even seen the patient. Presented by the SUNSTAR Foundation and supported by the International Symposium on Dental Hygiene (ISDH), the World Dental Hygienist Awards recognise dental hygienists who have made a significant contribution to dental hygiene science, patients and the broader community. Presented every two years at ISDH, entries for this year’s awards close on 14 January 2019.
The 2019 ISDH will take place in August in Brisbane, Australia. As per previous years, the winners of the Dental Hygienist Awards are chosen by an independent selection committee. “These awards are an excellent opportunity to give visibility to a crucial profession in the oral health field. Unfortunately, the dental hygienist’s role is often underrated, although it is key to show patients how to maintain a proper oral care routine, and to detect some oral problems at earlier stages,” said JoAnn Gurenlian, President of the American Dental Hygienists Association.
The awards are divided into two categories: research and activity or project, with professionals and students competing separately. The research entries may include both quantitative and qualitative analyses that provide important new insights that contribute to the body of knowledge in the oral hygiene field. The total prize money for the professional and student category is US$5,000 (€4,407) and US$2,000 (€1,763), respectively.
In the activity or project category, entrants are required to provide details of the activities that have made a key contribution to patients, the community or the general public. The positive impact of the activities on the health of a significant number of individuals should be empirically demonstrated, with measurable outcomes that demonstrate improved health. The award is open to individuals as well as groups, with the total prize money for the professional and student entry totalling US$3,000 (€2,644) and US$2,000, respectively.
