NEW HORIZONS
1. Project AMMA: Comprehensive Oral Healthcare Program for the Elderly
Mobile Dental Clinic Project has initiated a newer horizon for Geriatric Oral Health Care:
Project “AMMA”:Comprehensive Oral Healthcare Program for the Elderly. The program has
been initiated with collaboration with Department of Social Security which supervises old age
homes (Dept. Of Social Welfare) under GNCTD for further coordination and organizing various
activities.
The Project’s activities include:
1. Oral health Screening at Old Age Homes and Senior Citizen’s recreation centres
2. Oral Health Promotion Activities like health education & Tooth brushing demonstration.
3. Referral for dental treatment services.
In the month of September 2019, we conducted a Geriatric Oral Health Camp on 25th September
at Mata Pita Samman Sewa Trust Recreation Centre, Ayanagar, Chhatarpur (South Delhi). A
team of NHM staff consisting of Dr. Swati Jain, Dr. Neha Gangil, Paramedics and Driver
conducted the camp, providing dental screening services and oral health educational activities.
In total 43 patients were screened and referred for dental services. The program was highly
commended and was also covered in 04 local dailies. It has been a huge achievement for the
Mobile Dental Clinic Project.

2. ASHA Humari Muskan 24/09/19 at RBTB Hospital: Under the ongoing ASHA Training Program, to boost the services under continuous
initiatives, the Mobile Dental Clinic Project put another feather in its cap through the initiative:
ASHA HAMARI MUSKAAN.
This initiative has intended to screen and treat ASHA workers who have been trained
under the program and also to provide dental services to their family members. The “ASHA
HUMARI MUSKAAN” initiative targets the Maternal and Child Oral Health in Delhi through
ASHAworkers acting as our grass root soldiers.
The project has gone a step ahead by developing avery unique way of incentivizing
ASHA workers through a Family Program wherein oralhealth screening and treatment services
are provided only to ASHA workers attending thetraining session on oral health showcasing their
interest and their family members on adesignated date. One such camp was conducted in RBTB
Hospital at Civil Lines on 24/09/2019, benefitting 69 patients under the camp.

3. IEC Material Dissemination (Central and East Districts of Delhi) Mobile Dental Clinic Project has developed various IEC material to educate and disseminate
knowledge regarding oral health to be displayed at various health facilities. Various posters and
pamphlets have been developed in local language for easy understanding of the public.
Two posters per dispensary were disseminated on the topic:
a. “Maukhik Swaathya ke Teen Niyam”(03 golden tips for Good Oral Health)
b. “Swasth Mukh Swasth Garbhaavastha” (Healthy Mouth Healthy Pregnancy)
In this regard, IEC Material were disseminated to the entire East District of Delhi, consisting of
32 sets, one for each dispensary.
IEC Material disseminated to East District of Govt. of NCT of Delhi
4. Lecture on Qualitative Research by Dr. Swati Jain on 07/09/2019 Dr. Swati Jain, Consultant, Mobile Dental Clinic Project, presented a powerpoint
presentation on ‘Qualitative research’. Qualitative research is an important component which
could be applicable in the ongoing program to improve the oral healthcare delivery in the
18
existing system. Qualitative research is a scientific method of observation to gather non-
numerical data.
This type of research “refers to the meanings, concepts definitions, characteristics,
metaphors, symbols, and description of things” and not to their “counts or measures”. t is used to
gain an understanding of underlying reasons, opinions, and motivations. It provides insights into
the problem or helps to develop ideas or hypotheses for potential quantitative research.
5. Group Activity, organized by Dr. Nishtha A group activity was conducted called “Glass Stack” by Dr. Nishtha Sri Saini on
26/09/2019 with an aim to imporive the communication, trust and other communication skills
among the team members of the Mobile Dental Clinic Project (Doctors, Paramedics, Drivers and
Other support staff).
This was a simple but meaningful activity that sets the tone for an event and it also
helped in unearthing innovative ideas and showed the diversity of opinion within a team. This
activity encouraged staff members with unconventional views who otherwise wont speakup to
participants.

6. Oral Potentially Malignant Cases in the Community The Mobile Dental Clinic Project has taken an advanced step of identifying Oral
Potentially Malignant Lesions in the field through a Mobile-based online data collection app,
EpiCollect5. EpiCollect is a tool (android and iOS app) which could be used at the field for data
collection.
The patient contact details were noted who
were suspected of having any lesion in the oral
cavity and a chronic tobacco use history. This
patient was then called personally for follow-up
and recall at the Maulana Azad Institute of Dental
Sciences for further biopsy, confirmatory diagnosis
and treatment.
In the month of September, 12 patients
reported with Oral Potentially Malginant Disorders,
and they were called a total of 03 times for further
visit to MAIDS. However, two patients turned up at
the institute, and got its diagnosis completed and
treatment initiated.
Out of rest 10 patients, 05 Declined to visit
owing to their daily wages, 03 agreed but did not
turn up and 02 were unreachable through their provided contact numbers.
7. Field Visits by Consultant Starting July 2019, the two consultants employed under the Project, Dr. Swati Jain and
Dr. Shekhar Grover have been given the additional charge of conducting individual field visits
and supervising the on-going routine activities of the vans every alternate day.
20
The field visit of the consultants was initiated keeping in mind the increasing demand of
dental health care service by the target population, and to ensure the smooth conduction of the
rotuine activities at the point of care. Also, consultants were directed to meet the respective
authorities at the dispensaries to enhance collaborative activities and tackling minor problems, if
any, ancountered by the dispensary staff.
