Description
Ten authors set out a trial plan in a paper from two thousand twenty-three about dental care for emergency department patients. Many people with tooth problems end up in the emergency department, where little dental care or referral is on offer. Gaps in dental access fall hardest on people with low income and on some racial and ethnic groups.
The trial, called MOLAR, will enroll just over two thousand adults and children with unmet dental needs. Patients are split at random into three arms. One arm gets a standard handout listing nearby dental and social resources. The plan tests whether stronger, mapped referral help connects more patients to care.
