In response, online education was implemented in India because of the unprecedented nationwide closure of all academic institutions. Initially, a complete shift to online learning was a difficult process for both students and teachers but eventually they got familiarized as it was being used partly over the past few years in dental and higher educational institutes all over the country. The objectives of the study are as follows: (1) To evaluate the efficacy of e-learning, (2) To assess knowledge, attitude, and perception of dental students regarding the online learning program during COVID-19 pandemic.\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000A self-administered questionnaire was formulated and validated by the subject experts and IEC permission was obtained. Online feedback was collected from UG and PG students of Dental colleges in Central India using Google forms.\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000Total questionnaire received was 600 in which 520 responses were complete. Out of which 453 (87.2%) were Bachelor of Dental Surgery and 67 were (12.8%) Master of Dental Surgery students. Around 500 students had a considerable knowledge of computers with 411 (79.1%) of students claiming to have an appropriate internet access. Almost 62.4% of the students agreed that technology has helped them in understanding concepts and improved their ability to retain information. Students gave varied responses regarding their perception of online learning but agree that this is the only way to continue with their dental education in these unprecedented times of the pandemic.\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000The use of online lectures, webinars, and continuing dental education has proved to be informative for dental students and has played a substantial role in completion of the curriculum in these pandemic times. Therefore, a mixed model online and offline education can be developed for effective learning.\u0000","PeriodicalId":265132,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advances in Dental Practice and Research","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129948226","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}

According to the result, it can be stated that anxiety was more common in engineering undergraduates. The majority of participants were more anxious before the procedure even started. The reason for fear among all the procedures, fear of pain was the main cause for 58% (87) participants, while fear of injection remains a cause for 18.7% (28) participants. On the contrary, minimum respondents had a fear about the sound of the drill.\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000The result of current research indicates that dental anxiety is quite prevalent among undergraduates. Fear of pain is the main reason behind anxiety. Extraction of a tooth and root canal is a major reason for provoking anxiety among all the procedures.

Faculty characteristics which affected them positively were patience, approachability, and fairness. Faculty characteristic which affected them negatively was preferential treatment or favoritism that they see in the clinics.\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000Students mentioned faculty traits of patience, approachability, and fairness as positive traits in a clinical supervisor.

The habit of maintaining oral health and daily routine for the same should be incorporated into the children from their childhood. An oral cavity free from all disease is maintained by awareness about the preventive measures. Parents play a key role in their kids’ life, thus their understanding toward oral health are important. The aim of the study was to assess awareness among parents about preventive measures of oral health problems in children. The main objective is to assess awareness of problems related to oral cavity and to encourage parents to maintain good oral hygiene of their children by adapting preventive measures and also to know the requirement of encouraging oral health promotion programs.\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000A pre-validated questionnaire was distributed among the parents of children aged till age of 12 years old.

In a poll of 104 parents, it was determined that 81.73% of the parents believed that brushing twice a day was important, and 51.92% of the parents felt that they should visit their dentist at 6–12 months of age of child. It was determined from the survey that 81.73% of the parents wanted more information on how to maintain their children’s teeth better. To address all of the survey’s questions, an educational brochure was issued once the questionnaires were collected.

Medication-related osteonecrosis of jaws (MRONJs) are a recent concept and correspond to necrosis of bones particularly jaw bones due to use of certain medications without any prior exposure to radiation. Several medications tend to alter the bone remodeling process, affecting the diseased bone resorption, and leading to poor oral health maintenance.
