Do you have a patient on kidney dialysis? Access is seeking an author to write a case study illustrating the implications of providing oral hygiene care to people on dialysis. A small honorarium accompanies the assignment. Contact Christine A. Hovliaras-Delozier, RDH, BS, MBA at ChristineH@adha.net. If you are a male dental hygienist, or if you work with one, Access might like to interview you. Back in 2004, when we interviewed men who are ADHA members, we found that one of the reasons dental hygienists are predominantly female is that the profession has always been viewed as female—that perception has created our reality. Is this changing in the eyes of dental hygiene school faculty and administration, dentist-employers and oral health care consumers? If you have insights on this topic, contact Access Editor-in-Chief Christine A. Hovliaras-Delozier, RDH, BS, MBA at ChristineH@adha.net, and we may request an interview. Do you have interest in and experience working with veneers and laminates? The cosmetic side of oral health is hotter than ever, and maintaining these surfaces, as well as identifying candidates for them, is increasingly a part of dental hygiene care. Access is seeking an author to write a review article about materials and maintenance associated with veneers/laminates. If you have the time to prepare 1500-2000 words on this topic, contact Christine A. Hovliaras-Delozier, RDH, BS, MBA at ChristineH@adha.net. You will be asked to submit an outline before writing the article. A small honorarium accompanies the assignment. Your insights on Access are needed! We have made many changes in Access over the past two years. Tell us what you think of Access and if it has impacted your learning in dental hygiene and dentistry. Please email Christine A. Hovliaras-Delozier, RDH, BS, MBA at Christineh@adha.net. Thyroid diseases are of interest to oral health care professionals because of their implications for dental treatment as well as their oral manifestations in undiagnosed individuals.
