Full textAbstract:
Skills and development: The way undergraduate dental students have been taught and their methods of learning have evolved over decades. Education methods and needs: Perhaps the most rapid and exponential changes have been in the last two decades with the introduction and utilisation of digital media platforms and social media capabilities. Academic and clinical aspects of dentistry are divided within the curriculum, but less consideration and logic are exercised when focusing on the methods of delivering education and the students’ own preferences, capabilities and adaptation towards learning. Technology and dental education and what we believe: In higher education, closed questionnaires were provided to both dental students (50) and teachers (10) relating to delivery methods and their beliefs regarding education techniques available. Opinions regarding these methods still differ amongst dental teachers and students, with an affinity from the dental students towards the use of emerging technology available in dentistry. However, the questionnaires revealed both groups preferred education via direct care on patients more than any other method of education. Conclusion: The literature would indicate some progress made within the dental profession relating to the use of digital media, advanced technology and improved dental software, however, this has not yet been transferred to dental higher education, despite an accessible and obvious availability of modern resources and techniques.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction: Sustainable dentistry is an emerging practice that seeks to minimize the environmental impact of the dental sector. Objective: This study aims to analyze whether sustainable dentistry is being applied in the context of higher education and to identify key subjects to promote sustainable dentistry. Methodology: The research was conducted using the Arksey & O’Malley methodology and the PRISMA-ScR extension for Scoping Reviews. The multidisciplinary research platform Web of Science was used, applying relevant keywords for the search. A total of 399 articles were retrieved, and after applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, 12 articles were selected for analysis. Results: The findings highlight the growing adoption of sustainable practices in the training of dentists, although barriers such as lack of awareness and resources still exist. In disciplines such as orthodontics and oral rehabilitation, sustainable alternatives have been implemented, such as the use of more durable retainers and digital technology to reduce waste. The importance of educators promoting sustainable practices is emphasized, transforming sustainability into a standard for future professionals, along with the need for a cultural shift that includes the use of advanced technology, such as augmented reality and mobile learning, in dental education. Conclusion: There is an urgent need to incorporate sustainability into education, overcoming resistance and lack of knowledge in this field, and promoting eco-friendly dentistry that benefits both public health and the environment, consolidating a dental curriculum that integrates eco-efficiency and environmental responsibility.

Full textAbstract:
This article examines the stages of development of higher dental education in the United States, focusing on its historical, current, and future aspects. The primary aim of the research is to analyze the key challenges within the dental education system and offer potential solutions to address these issues. To achieve this goal, various research methods were employed, including comparative analysis, literature review, and empirical research. These approaches facilitated the identification of critical trends and persistent problems in dental education. The findings suggest that the integration of modern technologies into the educational process is crucial for improving the quality of dental education. Digital technologies, simulators, and remote learning methods have the potential to enhance the training of future dentists, providing more flexible and interactive learning opportunities. However, unresolved issues remain, such as the standardization of curricula across different educational institutions and the need for educator training to meet new challenges posed by innovative teaching methods. The article also highlights the importance of aligning educational programs with current realities and labor market demands. Moreover, there is a growing necessity to modernize the system by developing interdisciplinary approaches and fostering collaboration between academia, industry, and policy makers. These reforms are essential to ensure that dental education continues to produce highly qualified professionals capable of responding to the evolving needs of both the healthcare system and society at large. The article concludes that ongoing adaptation and innovation in dental education will be vital to addressing the demands of a rapidly changing field.

Full textAbstract:
The present narrative review aimed to appraise the current evidence on gender diversity, equity, and inclusivity (DEI) in dental higher education. It highlighted the existing gender disparities in dental education and leadership roles as well as the progress and challenges faced by contemporary dental schools in achieving gender DEI. Although men historically dominated the leadership roles in the dental higher education sector, evidence has shown an increase in women enrolling into dental programs and holding top-management roles in dental institutes, progressing towards a more inclusive, supportive and gender-friendly educational environment. However, gender disparities in these leadership roles, salary, and academic achievements persist, underscoring the underrepresentation of women in senior roles within dental higher education. In addition, this review further elaborated on the theoretical framework, such as the Critical Feminist Theory, Social Role Theory, and the Inclusive Excellence Framework that underpinned gender DEI. Effective strategies and future research are warranted to support dental higher education in fostering a more inclusive and equitable environment, ultimately benefiting the dental profession.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this study was conducting historiographical analysis of organizational bases of formation and development of prosthodontics in the Republic of Tatarstan, as one of the core dental specialties, along with therapeutic and surgical dentistry. Historico-genetic and comparative research methods were used. The reflection of the history of the prosthodontics departments development in Kazan State Dental Institute, Kazan State Medical University, Kazan State Medical University in the literature and archival materials is presented. The main scientific achievements and contribution to the practical activities of the departments’ heads (I.M. Oksman, L.M. Demner, M.Z. Mirgazizov) and staff are demonstrated. The article proves that studying various issues of dental disciplines development is a very promising field of the modern history of science. This is due to the fact that in the modern world, dentistry is undergoing qualitative changes as a science and practice, which makes the study of the historical aspects of its development significantly more relevant. Analysis of the formation and development of prosthodontics in Kazan suggests that unlike some other centers of national dentistry development in Kazan it had a well-organized framework. Thus, organized in 1936 Kazan State Dental Institute and the Department of Prosthodontics have made a significant contribution to the development of higher medical education in Kazan, the development of dental science and practice.

Full textAbstract:
Individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) are at risk for dental disease and face substantial challenges in accessing both routine and preventive dental services. In terms of unmet needs it ranks third, following residential services and employment opportunities for this particular group of people. Poorer oral health status negatively impacts overall health and one’s quality of life. Factors contributing to this problem include significantly higher rates of dental caries, periodontal disease, poor oral hygiene, low expectations, fear of treatment, and lack of awareness among individuals and carers. Additional factors include problems accessing dental care or denial of services because of inadequate education and clinical training, inappropriate bias, or inadequate levels of compensation to providers. Strategies to improve service delivery include individualized and coordinated care services, education of individuals, carers, and providers, including both classroom and clinical experiences with special needs patients in dental programs.

Since the 1970, dental rehabilitation of partially or totally edentulous patients has been an increasingly used practice, due to improved materials and methods and high rates of survival and success. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate patients from the Faculty of Dentistry of the University of Passo Fundo, between 2015 and 2018, with indication and installation of dental implants. Material and methods: Data on age and gender of the patients, indication and region of the implants, technique, type of connection and shape of the implants, bone density, need for grafting and image modality used for surgical planning were collected from dentistry records. Results: In total, 55 patients and 105 implants were evaluated. The age group ranged from 21 to 82 years, and women were the majority group (64%). Among the implant indications, 71% of the patients had only one tooth missing, and the lower first molars comprised most of the implants performed (21%). The conventional surgical technique was the most used (86%), as well as the cylindrical shape cone morse model. Conclusion: The proper selection of indications for implants seeks to be based on scientific evidence, and the protocols are essential to achieve high success rates.

Full textAbstract:
This study illuminates the perceptions of dental school administrators and faculty of a new, non-traditional dental school and the extent to which these perceptions influence the processes of dental education within their school as well as their perceptions of crises in dental education.Using an instrumental case study approach, an intrinsic case study examines perceptions that developed a non-traditional dental school. The case study is then instrumental in examination of the influences of the new economy and networks within the theory of academic capitalism that influence the formation and operation of this new school as well as influences on perceptions of crises in dental education as defined by organized dentistry.All characteristics of the new economy (globalization, knowledge as raw material, non-Fordist manufacturing, educated/tech savvy workers) are perceived as profoundly influencing the processes of dental education at the new school. Of four networks within the theory of academic capitalism (new circuits of knowledge, interstitial organization emergence, intermediating networks, extended managerial capacity) only new circuits of knowledge are perceived to have profound influence on the formation and operation of the school.The perceptions of characteristics of the new economy and networks of the theory of academic capitalism have established a dental school decidedly distinctive in the approach to dental education with the crises in dental education perceived as real and influencing this distinct approach taken by this school in providing dental education.Salient characteristics of the new economy and networks within the theory of academic capitalism, when operationally defined, serve as powerful tools as explanatory vehicles to define the extent of their influence on the foundations and operations of this dental education institution and the extent to which these foundations and operations may influence the crises in dental education.

Reeson, Michael G. "The importance of teamwork and understanding : a study of shared learning between undergraduate dental students and trainee dental technicians." Thesis, University of Sunderland, 2011. http://sure.sunderland.ac.uk/3534/.
Full textAbstract:
This researcher investigated the professional experiences and development of trainee dental technicians and undergraduate dental students during a shared learning exercise in a combined UK university dental school and hospital. Two purposes framed the investigation: 1. To gain an in-depth understanding of the experiences of trainee dental technicians and undergraduate dental students during shared learning opportunities and 2. To examine whether interprofessional learning between trainee dental technicians and undergraduate dental students offered any professional and occupational specific disciplinary developmental benefits or disadvantages. Using a qualitative approach with a phenomenological framework, data sources included reflective diaries, focus group interviews and other salient material. Dialogue between the researcher and participants played a major part in ensuring the rigour of the study, participants having the opportunity to review the central concepts and excerpts within the thesis. Results indicated that both trainee dental technicians and undergraduate dental students were pragmatic but positive in terms of their expectations of shared learning. In particular, they regarded the exercise as useful in terms of communication and understanding each other‟s role. Overall there was little evidence arising from the data to support issues of power and perceived social and interprofessional hierarchies as impediments to learning. Findings from this study are consistent with previous research into interprofessional education, which demonstrate the significance of preconceptions based upon traditional and perhaps stereotypical perceptions of their own professional status. The students regarded the processes of shared learning as having a positive impact on future interprofessional teamwork. This empirical study assists in creating understandings about the benefits and limitations to shared learning between these two groups within the dental team. It also contributes to a currently under-theorised account of how relationships developed between these two groups may affect longer-term professional development. Implications are offered for future research involving the investigation that such learning may have on patient care.

Full textAbstract:
<p> This study focused on the instructional competency needs of new dental hygiene educators. The purpose of this qualitative and phenomenological study was twofold: (a) to explore the lived experiences and perceptions of 14 dental hygiene educators who have transitioned from clinical practice into the California Community College education system to further understand preparation experiences and instructional competence as related to knowledge, dispositions and skills and (b) to explore what recommendations dental hygiene educators might offer to better support new professors in developing instructional competence as related to knowledge, dispositions, and skills. </p><p> The researcher collected data by conducting semi-structured interviews. Several key themes emerged in the qualitative data including, a lack of supportive structures for new faculty, a lack of established pedagogical practices, a lack of staff development, the need for a formal orientation and mentorship programs, the need for pedagogical training for faculty, and standardization of best practices. </p><p> Findings from this research study supported several conclusions about the instructional competency needs for new dental hygiene educators in California, including: a formal program to support the transition of dental hygiene clinicians to become dental hygiene educators does not exist and has left educators under prepared to make a successful transition; developing instructional competency as a dental hygiene educator requires formal professional development and ongoing support that is currently lacking; new dental hygiene educators need supportive collaboration from fellow colleagues in order to increase consistency, communication, inclusion and calibration; and new dental hygiene educators would benefit from a formal orientation and mentorship program in teaching methodologies. </p><p> Study outcomes recommend the following for support for new dental hygiene educators: dental hygiene departments should expand ways to increase communication between adjunct and full-time faculty, technology training for new and existing faculty should be increased; the new dental hygiene educator should have additional education in teaching methodologies; new dental hygiene faculty should experience a formal orientation upon employment, and a formal mentorship programs should be implemented into dental hygiene programs. Broader recommendations include a three-part instructional competency model for new dental hygiene faculty to include a formal orientation prior to employment, teaching methodology training for faculty, and a formal mentorship program.</p><p>

Full textAbstract:
Assessment is a critical component of the educational experience. The purpose of this study was to examine dental students’ assessment preferences and their relation to students’ approaches to learning. The study also investigates the impact of gender, age, GPA and class level on dental students’ assessment preferences. Two hundred sixteen dental students at University of the Pacific Arthur Dugoni School of Dentistry have completed a self-reported 67-item questionnaire. Open-ended questions requiring long answers were the least preferred assessment method as perceived by the dental students, while multiple-choice questions are the most preferred assessment method. Deep approach to learning was significantly and positively correlated with oral test, alternative test, concept map, open-ended questions and questions that require higher order thinking. Surface approach to learning, however, was not significantly correlated with any assessment type. Age, gender, GPA and class level all have significant impact on dental students’ assessments preferences.

Full textAbstract:
Integration of learning is widely recognised as an essential outcome for students at university. This research study examines the integration of learning in higher education through the context of dental education. It explores the phenomenon from several perspectives. I use Albino and colleagues’ conceptualisation of putting it all together to question: How might putting it all together provoke us to think differently about the integration of learning; and how can integration be brought more visibly into the dental curriculum? Positioned within the interpretivist paradigm, the study employs various methodologies to produce integrated knowledge of integration writings and practices, to explore complexities, and to inspire reflections on what counts as legitimate ways to promote curriculum integration. The study draws on data generated through qualitative synthesis and two empirical studies that involved participant interviews and focus groups amongst students at an Australian dental school. A key finding of the study is that integration of learning is an open-ended concept. The qualitative synthesis identifies that integration is a curriculum device, an intention, a goal of education, a disposition, a process and an outcome of education. Integration occurs by coming into contact with variation and by widening the lens to take account of and connect with ideas that are not readily apparent. The empirical studies portray integration as the capacity to connect skills and different knowledges from multiple sources and experiences; and that putting it all together rests on the multi-faceted, uneven, moment-by-moment ways that students experience their curriculum. I argue that for students to be able to put together their learning in the context of the profession and society, dental schools should craft curricula that invite students to put together much more than disciplinary subject matter by connecting students with the complexity and supercomplexity of dental practice.

Full textAbstract:
Quality assurance (QA) has become a fact of life in higher education. Institutions engage in QA activities to direct spending to the areas that contribute to quality improvement and present to stakeholders evidence of the effectiveness and quality of their programmes. Dental schools are particularly pressured to demonstrate QA efforts to meet accreditation standards and ensure the quality of patient care. This study presents a quality assessment conducted at a school of dentistry in a developing country. A mixed methods approach is used to seek input from patients, students and faculty members to evaluate the quality of the clinical teaching offered in the pre-doctoral programme. Students and patients completed service quality assessment surveys that are adapted from the SERVPERF model. A focus group and one-on-one interviews were held to seek input from faculty members. Analysis of the data shows that the patients are generally more satisfied with the services than the students or faculty. The main issues that have been identified by stakeholders to negatively influence the quality of the learning experience and the quality of services provided are: (1) The expansion of the facilities is disproportionate with the growing numbers of students, (2) lack of comprehensive approach to patient care, and (3) the difficulty in patient recruitment and retention. The findings of this study will advise the decision makers at the school in their planning for curriculum and process reviews, QA efforts and development plans. The surveys that have been used in this study could be used to routinely collect data on patients' and students' satisfaction; however, further testing of the instruments is advised. Key words: dental education, quality assessment, clinical teaching curriculum<br>L'assurance qualité est devenue un fait-de-vie dans les universités. Les institutions d'éducation postsecondaire s'engagent dans les activités d'assurance qualité pour montrer aux intervenants la supériorité de leurs programmes et pour diriger les dépenses aux domaines qui contribuent le plus à l'amélioration de la qualité. Les Écoles de Médecine Dentaire sont particulièrement sous pression de démontrer leurs efforts d'assurance qualité de leurs programmes d'études pour répondre aux normes d'accréditation, d'assurer la qualité des soins dentaire et la sécurité des patients. Cette étude présente une évaluation de la qualité effectuée dans une école de médecine dentaire dans un pays en développement. Des méthodes mixtes servent à collectionner les données des patients, des étudiants et des membres du corps professoral à fin d'évaluer la qualité d'enseignement clinique offert dans le programmes pré-doctorat. Les étudiants et les patients ont été demandés de répondre aux questionnaires d'évaluation de la qualité de service qui sont adaptées en suivant du modèle SERVPERF. Pour collectionner les données et les commentaires des professeurs, ils étaient invités à participer dans un groupe de discussions ou des entrevues individuelles. L'analyse des données montre que les patients sont généralement plus satisfaits avec les services dentaires offerts que les étudiants ou les professeurs. Les principaux problèmes qui ont été identifiés d'influencer négativement la qualité de l'expérience d'apprentissage des étudiantes et la qualité des services offerts aux patientes sont les suivants: (1) L'élargissement des installations est disproportionné par rapport au nombre croissant d'étudiants, (2) le manque d'approche compréhensive des soins aux patients (3) et les difficultés de recrutement et de rétention des patients. Les résultats de cette recherche informeront l'administration de l'Écoles de Médecine Dentaire au sujet de leurs efforts d'assurance qualité, la planification de programmes, la revue des processus, et leurs plans de développement. Les questionnaires qui ont été utilisés dans cette étude peuvent être utilisés régulièrement pour évaluer la satisfaction des patients et des étudiants. Toutefois, plus des tests de ses efficacités sont recommandés.Mots clés: éducation de médecine dentaire, évaluation de la qualité, programmes d'enseignement clinique

Full textAbstract:
<p> In order for a student to be successful in dental hygiene education, the student must gain the required knowledge and skills necessary to perform as a hygienist and possess the ability to utilize critical thinking to apply these attributes while in the program and on the National Board of Dental Hygiene Examination (NBDHE) (Alzahrani, Thompson, & Bauman, 2007; Fried, Maxey, Battani, Gurenlian, Byrd, & Brunick, 2017). Dental hygiene students who attend a medical university have the option to take required pre-requisite courses at a community college or a four-year university. All dental hygiene students transfer from another institution and all have the potential to exhibit transfer shock, which may contribute to a drop in GPA following the transfer to another institution. Transfer shock typically occurs for students who transfer from a community college to a university (Hills 1965; Ivins, Copenhaver, & Koclanes, 2016). This study investigates the impact of transfer shock on students who transfer into a dental hygiene program from a two-year community college as opposed to a four-year university. This study examined whether the type of institution, two-year community college versus a four-year university, attended prior to dental hygiene school is a predictor of success in a dental hygiene program in terms of ending program GPA and NBDHE first-attempt pass rates. After data analysis, results suggested that transfer shock did occur with both community college and four-year university students,. However, the four-year university group experienced less transfer shock than those who attended a community college during the first semester. Neither group increased their GPAs from the first to second semesters in the program. When comparing the entering GPAs with the end of program GPAs, both groups showed a significant drop. However, the community college group’s decrease in GPA was greater. Only five students in the total population (two from the four-year university group and three from the community college group) failed the NBDHE on the first attempt. Students who were unsuccessful in passing the NBDHE had final program GPAs that ranged from 2.2 to 2.45.</p><p>

Full textAbstract:
Dental caries is a disease process, one that will not be eliminated by tooth repair alone. Caries is the most prevalent disease of children and the primary reason for most restorative dental visits in both adults and children. A risk-based approach to managing caries targets those in greatest jeopardy for contracting the disease and provides evidenced-based decisions to treat current disease and prevent it in the future. This dissertation focuses on an approach to diagnosing and managing caries disease that holds promise of transforming the ways dentists treat this disease. This approach focuses on assessing the risk of caries and designing an individualized treatment plan that treats the disease in the least invasive way possible known as "Caries Management by Risk Assessment" or CAMBRA. Taken in total, the chapters presented in this dissertation address the related problems of disseminating information about CAMBRA and influencing both the practice of dentistry and the education of dentists.

McGuinness, Meghan Ann. "Adult Learning-Focused Professional Development for Dental Hygiene Clinical Instructors." ScholarWorks, 2016. https://scholarworks.waldenu.edu/dissertations/1907.
Full textAbstract:
At a dental hygiene program within a community college in New York State, clinical instructors are hired based on their expertise as practitioners. Most clinical instructors lack a background in adult learning theory and practice, which is an issue because their students are adult learners whose average age is 26. The instructors' lack of knowledge in this area challenges their effectiveness. The purpose of this qualitative case study was to explore dental hygiene instructors' views about what kind of professional development offerings related to adult learning might help improve their teaching effectiveness. The conceptual framework for this project study was Lave and Wenger's situated learning theory. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 8 part-time clinical instructors from the same academic department. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis. Five themes emerged from data analysis: participants' commitment to teaching, experience with students' attitudes, desire for communication, satisfaction with students' successes, and need for professional development. These findings led to the design of a professional development program that includes content on behaviorism, humanism, social cognitive theory, cognitivism, constructivism, and experiential learning theory. The goals of the program include providing clinical instructors with a background in adult learning theory and identifying ways to implement adult learning theory into clinical instruction. In potentially improving the teaching effectiveness of clinical instructors, this study may result in the better preparation of dental hygiene students and, ultimately, lead to improved patient care.

Full textAbstract:
The monograph introduces the scientific community and practitioners in the field of economics and management of various economic systems to an innovative methodology for ensuring sustainable development — autogenic (managed) crisis. Based on an extensive bibliographic review of literary sources and their semantic analysis, the author comes to understand the phenomenon of "crisis" as a manifestation of the dialectical law "denial of denial" and forms an original categorical and conceptual apparatus of definitions: "crisis", "economic crisis", "crisis of enterprises". The methodology of the autogenic crisis has been developed and is offered to readers, including its theoretical justification and practical methodological recommendations for its organization and use. It is intended for researchers, teachers of economic disciplines, practitioners, consultants, as well as graduate students, students of higher educational institutions, students of the system of additional professional education and all interested researchers and practitioners in the field of strategic management of sustainable economic development.

AbstractThe coronavirus-induced disease (COVID-19) was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) on the March 11, 2020. This Pandemic has resulted in the largest disruption of the education sector across the globe. Alternatively, this crisis has also induced path-breaking reforms to the global education system in the recent past. With evolving technology, online teaching has become the most convenient mode for lectures and discussions. This acute transformation caused a challenging environment to conduct laboratory sessions for students by adhering to social distancing. Alternatively, delivering the preclinical dental laboratory exercises through online mode was the only available option globally. This paper enlightens a few of the innovative techniques employed in conducting online preclinical dental laboratory sessions for the Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) students in the College of Dental Medicine at University of Sharjah. The study aimed at comparing the student performance in the dental preclinical labs evaluated based on skills and knowledge before and after the introduction of the innovative practices by online mode. The results of the study showed that the BDS1 students’ overall performance in the preclinical labs after adopting innovative practices was higher (p = 0.000) compared to the original practice of onsite delivery of labs. Students displayed enhanced tooth-carving skills (p = 0.000) with the introduction of online monitoring of tooth morphology labs. Moreover, BDS2 student performance in dental histology and anatomy labs did not show any significant improvement through the online mode of teaching (p = 0.01). Although COVID-19 hit the world abruptly, it helped in creating digital innovative solutions, thereby easing the teaching and learning process in dental education.

In this paper, the author shares a detailed process for soliciting and securing exemplar faculty members, who are ready to redesign and offer their course in a high quality online environment. The goal is to help faculty create highly engaging online learning opportunities as good as or better than their current face to face classes. Interested faculty members submitted a competitive proposal, and were selected to interact in a highly dynamic three day short course. The course introduced and applied learning theories as a mechanism to help faculty develop their materials, so that learners could attend, process, retain and use meaningful conceptually-based material. The outcome of the program was targeted, high quality online courses; word of mouth support and requests for short courses from our law and dental schools.

In Oral Health - A Comprehensive Guide to Clinical Insights, Best Practices, and Current Issues [Working Title]. IntechOpen, 2025. https://doi.org/10.5772/intechopen.1009211.
Full textAbstract:
Children’s oral health is shaped by various contemporary risk factors that extend beyond genetics, with lifestyle habits, diet, and environmental influences playing a significant role. One of the most pressing concerns today is the high consumption of sugary foods and drinks, which significantly contributes to the prevalence of dental caries among young children. Additionally, digital media and sedentary behaviors can indirectly affect oral health by encouraging unhealthy dietary patterns. Parental education is a key determinant in the oral health outcomes of children. Well-informed parents are more likely to implement preventive measures, such as regular dental check-ups, proper oral hygiene routines, and a healthy diet. Conversely, parents with lower levels of education may lack the awareness or resources to foster good oral health habits in their children, leading to higher rates of dental issues. A modern approach to children’s oral health emphasizes preventive care, early intervention, and educating both parents and children on the importance of oral hygiene. This approach also encourages collaboration between dental professionals, pediatricians, and educators to create a supportive environment for long-term health. By addressing contemporary risk factors and empowering parents with knowledge, the path toward improved oral health in children becomes more attainable.

Full textAbstract:
Design and manufacturing of dental restorations has evolved to embrace digital technology. So too has the paradigm of learning and teaching dental prosthetics. Once a didactic teacher-driven process, it has become student-focused, reliant on collaboration and directed toward employability. This chapter describes the stages, processes, and experiences of developing a collaborative partnership to “internationalize” dental technologist curricula which led to a model for developing shared digital resources and enhanced work-integrated learning. The discussion is supported by reflection of dental technology student learning experiences from Oslo and Akershus University College and Griffith University. Issues, controversies, and problems are explored through a descriptive analysis of experiences that aim to encourage other academics to rethink curriculum design, delivery, and assessment to create international partnerships. International collaboration in higher education can provide academics with a platform to share digital resources and create flexible, transferable qualifications.

In Current Challenges in Dentistry: Theory and Clinical Practice. Seven Editora, 2024. http://dx.doi.org/10.56238/sevened2023.005-014.
Full textAbstract:
This scientific research deals with the harms and risks of Mercury, found in amalgam dental restorations made in dental activities. It aimed to answer the guiding question: what are the harms of the Mercury component in dental amalgam with a view to the academic-work environment and the natural environment? The general objective was to analyze, together with Dentistry students, the perceptions they have about the environmental theme and their actions in the environments. From the qualitative interpretative approach, the methodology used was the search for publications on the following platforms: Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (BDTD), Google Scholar, Scielo Platforms, etc., without obeying a specific period of time. In addition, the Likert Scale, Free Word Association Techniques and Content Analysis were also used in the Google Forms for students who are in the 2nd period or higher. There were some inconsistencies in the students' answers, such as: they did not know how to work with dental amalgam without polluting. We conclude that there are challenges for students and teachers, in the sense that the methodology used in the classroom is aimed as innovative, as a parameter of Environmental Education. In addition, it is necessary for the community of the school institution to think of ecosystems that involve entrepreneurial actions that meet the awareness of professionals who teach and those who learn, so that it is possible to dialogue between teaching and learning and the development of creating a "pleasant environment".

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Oral diseases are important public health problems. They are very prevalent and their impact on both society and the individual are significant. Pain, disability, and handicap from oral diseases are common, and the costs of treatment are a major burden to health care systems (Table 15.1). The causes of dental diseases are known and the conditions are largely preventable. On the basis of those criteria, oral and dental diseases are a public health problem. Furthermore, inequalities in oral health are a problem; disadvantaged and socially excluded population groups suffer higher rates of disease than their more affluent contemporaries. The move towards an evidence-based approach to treatment and prevention has highlighted the limitations of conventional dental health education. Those limitations and the expansion of concepts on health promotion has lead to a wider recognition that there is a need to adopt a more progressive approach to prevention.

Higher education has a distinct culture. Subsets of this unique culture are found in specific professional schools, including medical, dental, law, and business schools. Just as every person is different, every institution is also distinctive. Regardless of similarities, successful initiatives at one institution may not translate to another institution. To succeed, a culture of learning, open dialogue, and unbiased, active listening must reverberate through every person and level of hierarchy within the organization. This chapter will delve into the hallmarks of a learning organization and provide useful tools to create successful learning organizations at the program, departmental, and organizational levels while simultaneously being open to transformative learning opportunities for its faculty and staff.

In response to various institutional and national policy drivers (University College Cork, 2018; Department of Health, 2019), a community-based dental education (CBDE) initiative in a non-dental setting has been proposed as a new curriculum offering in Paediatric Dentistry in University College Cork. The student-led clinic for children aged 0-5 years will be located in a new primary healthcare centre, which serves as a community hub for health and wellbeing services. The innovative use of learning spaces to imbue a culture of community-engaged scholarship in higher education is widely encouraged (Campus Engage, 2014; Galvin, O’Mahony, Powell & Neville, 2017). This work seeks to explore the features of the proposed learning environment, which may impact upon teaching and learning practice.

The recent researches showed that the multimedia content is a useful tool for the educational process, because it is dynamic, attractive and stimulates the students' engagement. The animations facilitate the learning of dynamic information and help the learners to understand better the changes in time. Last year we introduced the video presentations as teaching method during the practical stages at Medical Informatics and Biostatistics, Faculty of Dental Medicine, "Grigore T. Popa" University of Medicine and Pharmacy from Iasi, and, because the students' feedback was highly positive, this year we extended this method for all the stages, not only to solve certain practical problems, but also to explain theoretical concepts, from the biostatistical field. The videos were developed using Sony Vegas Movie Studio Platinum 14.0 and contain live demonstration, registered using CamStudio 2.7, with oral explanations recorded separately, static images and animations made in Microsoft PowerPoint. We intend to upload all these videos on YouTube, on a personal channel, because this resource has nowadays a huge popularity between youngers. The current paper presents a review regarding the efficacy of YouTube and other similar products in the educational process and shows the opinion of our students about this initiative. This information was obtained through an opinion survey among the students of our University. We used an anonymously questionnaire with 20 items and answers recorded on a five-level Likert scale of agreement; we used 3 samples of study in order to make comparisons: a sample of 75 students in the 1st year, Faculty of Dental Medicine (they had video presentations during the practical stages, being able to evaluate objectively the drawbacks and benefits), a sample of 90 students in the 1st year, Faculty of Medicine (they did not watch video presentations during the practical stages, but they know the concept) and a sample of 85 students in the 5th year, Faculty of Dental Medicine (they also did not watch video presentations during the practical stages, they know the concept and can make more mature evaluations, having a higher age).

Full textAbstract:
In the Republic of Serbia, the health care system includes various health institutions, higher education institutions that train personnel in this field, private practices and other organizations that deal with health activities. Within this system, medical and non-medical personnel are employed. The medical staff includes health professionals with various levels of education, including doctors of medicine, doctors of dental medicine, pharmacists and nurse technicians. Non-medical personnel also play an important role in supporting the functioning of health facilities, although they do not provide direct medical care. A retrospective analysis of data on the employment of nurse-technicians in state health institutions from 2013 to 2019 shows that the number of nurse-technicians with higher education has increased during that period. In the total number of employees, nurses-technicians make up the largest part, and their share remains relatively constant during the observed period. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the employment of medical staff. In the period from 2020 to 2022, the number of nurse-technicians with secondary and higher education continued to grow. This trend can be attributed to the increased workload during the pandemic. During the COVID-19 pandemic, employment in the health sector in the Republic of Serbia experienced significant changes and this was related to the increased need for health workers, especially those who were directly engaged in the treatment and prevention of Covid-19. Nurses as well as other healthcare workers faced increased stress during the Covid-19 pandemic, their work engagement was under great pressure. During the pandemic, decision-makers significantly increased financial resources as an adequate incentive for work, but at the same time there was a problem with the retention of personnel in the health care system due to the heavy workload and exhaustion at the workplace itself, the very fear of infection and the mental health crisis that prevailed among health workers. The Covid-19 pandemic reminded us that there is a need for better planning and personnel management in health care systems, but there are still no clearly defined protocols for responding in crisis situations.

Abstract: The persistence of residual symptoms in post-COVID-19 patients has been identified as a factor that negatively affects quality of life, especially in aspects related to oral health. The purpose of the study was to determine the quality of life-related to oral health in primary care patients who had overcome the COVID-19 infection. A descriptive, non-experimental study was developed with the participation of 361 post-COVID-19 patients, to whom the survey was applied: Impact of oral health on Quality of Life (OHIP-14). The participants were mostly women (52.9%), and adults (55.4%), with occupations in the field of health (16.6%), and higher education (76.5%). Data were collected on history of COVID-19, severity of infection, hospitalization, comorbidities, risk perception, fear of the virus, presence of post-COVID-19 sequelae, and adult life stage. The analysis revealed that oral health-related quality of life in post-COVID-19 primary care patients is significantly lower. The perception of dental and oral problems during the period is correlated with a greater impact on quality of life in terms of oral health. Homogeneous distribution of the average and median values was observed in dimensions such as functional limitation, physical pain, social disability, and handicap. However, in comparison, the dimensions of physical and psychological disability stand out as the most affected. The results indicate that oral problems in this phase significantly impact the quality of life, highlighting the need for specific interventions to improve recovery and well-being. A comprehensive approach can help manage sequelae and improve the quality of life for these patients. Keywords: Quality of life, Oral Health, COVID-19, Primary care

We live in an information society in which development occurs rapidly. Digitalization affects all aspects of society, cutting through all societal functions. Digital platforms make it possible to match demands on things and services and deliver them at a lower cost. Automatization and robotics affect demand for manual operations and workers. Moreover, working life is changing, as it increasingly utilizes an emerging complementary relationship between machines and people. Needs for more knowledge and skills also arise. This article provides a preliminary plan as to how and in what respects the issue of information security might be incorporated into university teachers’ expertise. For example, in distance learning—a form of education distribution requiring computer equipment that is to be provided by the student—information security is crucial. From the educator’s point of view, student identification—in connection with exams, for example—is obviously critical. Digital on-campus exams are another pertinent theme, entailing many opportunities for doing things in new or better ways in comparison with paper exams and the time-consuming administration they involve. New questions arise, however. Certain aspects of information and communication technology entail risks—such as Distributed Denial-of-Service attacks, cybercrime, and sabotage in general. This article will discuss the need for university teachers to be prepared to respond adequately and effectively to information security issues. Examples are given showing how the University of Borås approaches security considerations. A preliminary analysis of the need to include information security in the general knowledge required of all university teachers in the era of eLearning is given.

Oral health does not exist in a silo. The mouth-body connection is a biological aspect of physical wellbeing that exists alongside the social and political drivers of whole-person health. Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, and agender/ asexual people, and people of other marginalized gender or sexual identities (LGBTQIA+), have experienced historical exclusion from healthcare systems perpetuated by chronic stigma. Ongoing discrimination, cultural insensitivity, and blatant homophobia/transphobia among healthcare staff results in poor health outcomes, including oral health. These exchanges either facilitate or inhibit respectful, high-quality, patient-centered care cognizant of intersectionality. In 2022, the American Institute of Dental Public Health (AIDPH) disseminated a mixed-methods survey to just over 200 oral health professionals to assess knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding LGBTQIA+ oral health.

Full textAbstract:
Denali National Park and Preserve (DENA) in central Alaska is one of the most geologically and paleontologically diverse parks in the national park system. Fossils found at DENA help to untangle the convoluted bedrock history, record a Late Cretaceous ecosystem, and show changes in life here over several hundred million years. We have prepared a paleontological resources management plan (PRMP) to successfully administer these non-renewable resources in accordance with law and policy. This PRMP establishes goals and strategies for the comprehensive management of paleontological resources at DENA, considering more than a century of change and development of park programs and themes, agency policies and guidelines, and state and federal laws and regulations. Objectives include informing decisions and implementing best practices for paleontological resource management; ensuring the highest protection and preservation of paleontological resources; supporting and overseeing research on these resources; and promoting public outreach and education. This paleontological resources management plan provides a variety of information and recommendations to address these objectives. A brief geological history of DENA and descriptions of fossiliferous rock units provide context for the fossils. Fossil areas of interest and paleontological localities of concern are detailed for management. Practices and recommendations are presented for inventory and monitoring. The process of research permitting and practices for researchers are described. The state of collections and curation is considered. Interpretation and education are tied into existing themes, and venues and opportunities for additional outreach are described. A series of overall recommendations are provided that consider the objectives. Finally, data forms are provided for reference. This PRMP should be used as the foundation of future, more specialized, management plans or reports relating to paleontological resources at DENA.

Full textAbstract:
More than 63,000 Australians are hospitalised every year for preventable dental conditions, constituting the third most common reason for acute preventable hospital admissions. Yet oral diseases are largely avoidable with appropriate preventive measures. This Evidence Check aimed to find the most effective and relevant oral health promotion interventions for use in Australia. It covered systematic reviews of oral health promotion interventions from Australia, NZ, the UK, the US and Canada, finding 46 reviews which included a total of 1,026 individual studies. Twenty-five of these reviews only included randomised controlled trials and so they were the highest possible level of evidence. For the studies covering the broadest population groups, effective interventions included education, use of alternative sweeteners, use of fluoride toothpaste, smoking cessation, and referral to various dental practitioners. However, there were a limited number of studies conducted in Australia, and none focused on diverse populations such as people with disabilities or those on low incomes. This limits the generalisability of the findings to Australia and indicates significant gaps in the evidence base.
