Does a case completion curriculum influence dental students' clinical productivity? (57/77)

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of a new clinical curriculum on dental student productivity as measured by number of procedures performed in the student teaching practice. Harvard School of Dental Medicine adopted a new clinical education model for the predoctoral program in summer 2009 based upon a Case Completion Curriculum (CCC) rather than a discipline-based numeric threshold system. The two study groups (threshold group and case completion group) consisted of students who graduated in 2009 and 2010. Clinical performance was assessed by clinical productivity across five major discipline areas: periodontics, operative dentistry, removable prosthodontics, fixed prosthodontics, and endodontics. The relationships between the two study groups with regard to number of procedures performed by category revealed that the case completion group performed a significantly higher number of operative and removable prosthodontic procedures, but fewer periodontal and endodontic procedures (p+info)

Chewing ability in an urban and rural population over 40 years in Shandong Province, China. (63/77)

OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to assess chewing ability related to dental status. MATERIAL AND METHODS: One thousand four hundred sixty-two Chinese subjects over 40 years, dentate in both jaws, were categorized in a hierarchical functional classification system with and without tooth replacements. Chewing ability was analyzed using multivariable logistic regression including five dental conditions ( ">/=10 teeth in each jaw"; "complete anterior regions"; "sufficient premolar regions" (>/=3 posterior occluding pairs (POPs)); "sufficient molar regions" (bilaterally >/=1 POP); and tooth replacement), adjusted for six background variables. Likelihood ratios for chewing problems were assessed at each level of the hierarchical classification system based on these dental conditions. RESULTS: Seventy-eight to 91 % of subjects reported no or minor chewing problems. The conditions ">/=10 teeth in each jaw", and "complete anterior regions" were not associated, whereas "sufficient premolar regions" and "sufficient molar regions" were associated with chewing problems (Ors, 0.33-0.58). If classified hierarchically, the condition ">/=10 teeth in each jaw" was relevant for chewing problems (likelihood ratios 3.3-3.7). "Sufficient premolar region" and "sufficient molar region" were relevant to reduce the likelihood ratios for having chewing problems (both approximately with a factor 2), both for soft and for hard foods. Subjects with artificial teeth added had similar chance for chewing problems compared to counterparts with natural teeth only. However, if comparing replaced teeth with natural teeth, subjects with tooth replacement showed higher chance for chewing problems. CONCLUSIONS: Chewing ability was strongly associated with dental conditions. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The presence of at least 10 teeth in each jaw had highest impact on chewing ability.  (+info)
