The topic of dental care and its importance in everyday and working life is a very topical subject and I think that this topic is being raised more and more, people want to take more care of their teeth and attach more and more importance to it. The aim of this thesis is to chart the issue of dental care across different social classes and regions in the Czech Republic, to find out what importance people attach to their teeth, how they take care of them and whether they also monitor the state of teeth with other people. The theoretical part is focused on basic theoretical knowledge in the areas of health, oral health, sociology and psychosocial determinants of health. The practical part of the thesis consisted of a quantitative survey, using a questionnaire survey, which showed that people attach different importance to the state of their teeth, and that finance is not the most important factor in dental care.

Accessibility of stomatologic care for homeless people
Lejčková, Jana ; Háva, Petr (advisor) ; Matoušek, Petr (referee)
Health of homeless people is worse in comparison with the general population and despite the guaranteed equal right to health and the crucial role of basic health services in the concept of health care barriers are found. These barriers appear in the availability of treatment by conventional dentists in Prague. The aim of this work is to evaluate the (un)availability of dental care, how different are the accesses of homeless dental and conventional dental practices to homeless patients. Next aim of the work is why are homeless people refused from accessing dental care. Last aim deal with the influence of the unavailability of dental care in the overall health of homeless people. Qualitative methods of semi-structured and expert interviews research used in the empirical part had shown that the unavailability of dental care lies mainly in the stigmatization of the homeless as well as in the existence of health risks. The main difference from a specialized dentistry resides in the absence of charges, positive attitudes and expectations of risks. The rejections of homelesses are in the conventional surgery based on the lack of evidence, stigma and fear of the risks of treatment. The unavailability of dental care can carry a profound impact on the overall health of homeless people and even lead to death.

Awareness of the Roma population in dental care
KARÁSKOVÁ, Pavla
The diploma thesis is focused on the issue of the dental care of the Roma patients. Major fields of interest were the awareness of Roma in different aspects of the dental care and the willingness of dentists to register Roma patients in their surgery. For this thesis was originally planned to use the qualitative research but the pilot study showed that quantitative research would be better option. Dentists were willing to fill in questionnaires but they had no time for interviews due to the big amount of their work duties. I chose questionnaires also for Roma respondents. Thanks to them I gathered more pieces of information from majority of Roma population than if I had used the qualitative research. For each group involved in the research were created different questionnaires. Questionnaires were created by me. The first aim of this thesis was to find out how informed and how willing are Roma population in case of preventive dental examinations. Results show that the willingness to undergo preventive examinations has more than half of respondents. Positively answered 61 percent of registered Roma and 57 percent of dentists answered that Roma undergo preventive examinations. When we compared the awareness of registered Roma respondents with unregistered Roma respondents, registered Roma respondents are more informed than unregistered Roma respondents. For example in the case of information about payments for medical acts which are paid by health insurance companies, 70 percent of registered Roma respondents and only 30 percent of unregistered Roma respondents have awareness about it. The second aim of this thesis was to find out the willingness of dentists to register Roma in their surgeries. It was obvious to me that most of the dentists don't accept new patients due to the capacity. For this reason I asked a question: "If you accept new patients, will you accept Roma?" 57 percent of dentists answered that they would register Roma. If there does exist cooperation between Roma and social worker, the willingness of dentists to register Roma increases and reaches 84 percent. This big difference corresponds to negative experience which dentists have with Roma. It means that assistance of the social worker can positively affect relationships and communication between dentists and Roma patients. Problem in communication is not only on the side of Roma population. All health workers should compulsorily study the issue of multicultural education. If they understand historical values and customs of different cultures, there is a possibility to eliminate culture barriers, intolerance, prejudice and discrimination. These facts perhaps in hidden form are mostly the main reason not to accept the patient. In case of effective communication and building mutual trust Roma patients can better understand rules which are required by dentist and gain information which are important to prevent problems with toothache, financial expenses, and ultimately, with esthetics. The research revealed that Roma, according to answers of dentists, neglect dental hygiene and dental care of their children. Dental hygiene of Roma patients was identified as inadequate by 54 percent of dentists. Only 14 percent of dentists are satisfied with the dental hygiene of children. It would be very suitable to use in preschool facilities services of dental hygienists that can help children learn appropriate hygienic habits and through "homeworks" pass gained information to other family members. A summary of possible solutions to problems of dental care of Roma is therefore effective communication between Roma patient and dentist which would be possible by implementation of multicultural education of all health workers and cooperation with the social worker as a mediator between them.
