Previous research in dental education have not adequately addressed the effect of simulation events or environment on skill transferability from preclinical level into clinics. Objectives: To find effect of simulation events or environment on skill transferability from preclinical level into clinics. Methods: Out of 3297 searched articles, a total of 15 articles were included in this review searched through “MEDLINE, EMBASE, and CENTRAL” as the main search engines. This included primary studies that comprised original studies and reviews and secondary study in the form of report were included. Findings: Virtual reality simulators have proved their feasibility in diagnosis, obtaining objective and immediate evaluation and developing critical thinking. On the other hand, interactive and Internet-based simulations have proved their efficiency in remote learning, promoting information retention in students’ memories, providing new scopes in courseware development, and enhancing the understanding of some theoretical aspects of dentistry. Finally, conventional simulation is still mastering dental manual practicing process and their role in acquisition of clinical skills remain valid until new technology and business world could create alternative tools. Conclusion: Dental skills transferability is affected by interaction of several factors which affects one another.","PeriodicalId":202100,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Dentistry & Oral Health","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122012799","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The risk of recurrence is reported to be significantly reduced by radical treatment compared with conservative surgical treatment. Case Report: A 37 year’s old male patient presented to Khartoum Dental Teaching hospital in July 2020 with painful firm pink fleshy mass with areas of necrosis in the parotid region that bleeds continuously and associated with sense of relief after bleeding, it started as small lesion that progressed in 10 months duration. The left eye underwent exophthalmos, hazy vision, severe pain and continuous tearing. The patient is operated two times in the last 15 years. Conclusion: Peripheral Ameloblastoma can have an aggressive invasive behavior resembling malignancy. High rate intracranial extension can occur in short period making surgical intervention for complete removal of the lesion difficult and only confined to surgical debulking to improve quality of life. Close long term follows up of Ameloblastoma after primary treatment is mandatory.","PeriodicalId":202100,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Dentistry & Oral Health","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126931894","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Materials and Methods: These molars were found affected alveolar bone loss more than 70% using an ECM. The vertical dimension of root trunk was automatically categorized as A, B, and C root trunk type, where the assessment of CAL of extracted molars was calculated PRIA. Result: The results demonstrated that a significant relationship existed; 1) between molar location, prevalence and distribution of extracted molars (p<0.001); 2) between RTT and molar location (p<0.001), furcation sites (p<0.05), as well as 3) between RTT and PAL (p<0.05).

The mechanism of pain is quite complex, none the less we cannot survive without it. Pain is a defense mechanism that helps us protect ourselves from harmful situations or inform us to pay attention to something that is going wrong in our bodies. For example, a person will know that a stove is hot before even touching it because the hand will sense the heat radiating from the stove as it gets closer. Pain can also present as an early warning sign of arthritis, an appendix infection, or even a cavity. The opioid crisis has plagued the world since the beginning of the 21st century. It has affected the sick and the healthy, the poor and the rich, and the young and the elderly with no discrimination. You might likely know of a family member or a friend who suffers from opioid dependency. As dentists and physicians, this issue is particularly important to us, as we are the first barrier between the general public and an opioid prescription (Figure 1).","PeriodicalId":202100,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Dentistry & Oral Health","volume":"215 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114848309","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An in-vitro study conducted on human dentin samples. Dentin samples were prepared from the extracted molars using a computerized water-cooled cutting machine. Each sample was 7mm long, 5mm wide and 2mm thick [± 0.1mm]. Fifteen dentin samples were prepared for the three experimental groups. Each group consists of five dentin samples. Group 1 (20year old sound dentin), group 2 (50year old sound dentin) and group 3 (carious dentin). Ultrasound velocity measurements were carried-out on dentin samples and the data were compiled and analyzed using Wave Star software and Minitab 12.1 software. After the ultrasonic measurements, the dentin samples were characterized using SEM. Results: Ultrasonic measurements showed that the arrival time of wave signal was 35.1µs in 50year old dentin, 35.8µs in 20year old dentin and 36.4µs in carious dentin, and there were significant differences (p < 0.05 at 95% confidence level) in the mean values of the ultrasonic velocity measurements between group 1 and group 2, and between group 2 and group 3. Based on the SEM micrographs, the structural changes can be seen clearly in 50year old dentin due to the aging process and in carious dentin due to caries. Conclusion: Results indicated that structural changes of human dentin due to aging process and caries can be distinguished using ultrasonic velocity, however, further work is required on larger sample size, intermediate ages and restored teeth.","PeriodicalId":202100,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Dentistry & Oral Health","volume":"28 11","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120905484","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
