The study hypothesis is that communication skills will remain consistent over the 7-year period. This study uses standardized patients (SPs) from the Center for Advanced Professional Excellence (CAPE) and the Interprofessional Anschutz Communication Skills Toolbox (I-ACT) to assess students' communication skills.Methods: A longitudinal analysis of third-year dental students and first-year advanced-standing students interacting with SPs was conducted. SPs utilized the I-ACT toolbox to assess students' communication skills. Fifteen questions were designed to evaluate key aspects of communication. SPs scored student performance using a scale of 1.0 (Yes), 0.5 (Partial), and 0.0 (No). Data were collected from 2016 to 2022 and analyzed using descriptive statistics and linear regression, with time as the dependent variable.Results: The analysis showed consistent performance in the \"Introduction,\" \"Sharing Information,\" and \"Sustaining Relationship\" domains, with low F-values indicating minimal variance over time. However, the \"Gathering Information,\" \"Sustaining Structure,\" and \"Closing Session\" domains exhibited notable variability. The \"Closing Session\" domain, particularly for Patient 3, showed the highest variability with substantial changes in student performance over time in a positive direction.Conclusion: The study highlights strengths and areas for improvement in dental students' communication skills. Consistent performance in several communication domains suggests that current training methods are effective.","PeriodicalId":50216,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Dental Education","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145180324","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to investigate how dental schools incorporate sustainability into the curriculum and assess facilitators and barriers to its implementation.Methods: A 28-item REDCap survey was emailed to 78 clinical deans at CODA-accredited dental schools in July 2024. Interested respondents shared contact information through an unlinked survey to participate in semi-structured interviews exploring the cognitive, behavioral, and environmental factors that affect curricular incorporation of sustainability. Zoom interview transcripts were de-identified and transcribed. Descriptive statistics were calculated using REDCap, and qualitative data were analyzed using NVivo.Results: Twenty-one (27%) clinical deans completed the survey; three participated in interviews. Survey respondents report that while sustainable practice is implemented to varying extents in pre-doctoral clinics, the topic is not often integrated into didactic and preclinical curricula. Interview data revealed that clinical deans desire formal opportunities to learn about and engage with topics in sustainability, lack assessment tools to evaluate institutional sustainability goals, and are challenged by insufficient time, resources, and organizational constraints when considering clinical practice changes.Conclusion: Sustainability is not widely incorporated in dental education as a categorical topic in curricula. This study demonstrates the need for formalized administrator training, tailored resources, and a collaborative, top-down approach to cultivate engagement with sustainable practices in dental education.","PeriodicalId":50216,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Dental Education","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145151813","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, their application in the field of endodontic education remains underexplored. Therefore, the aim of this systematic review was to explore the current applications and existing value of extended reality technology in endodontic education.Methods: This systematic review was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool. A comprehensive search of multiple electronic databases was performed to include all randomized controlled trials published up to July 31, 2025, that evaluated the application of extended reality technologies in endodontic education.Results: Among the 520 studies initially identified, a total of seven randomized controlled trials were ultimately included in this review. These studies originated from five different countries and focused on access cavity preparation, pulpotomy, and regenerative endodontic procedures. In the risk of bias assessment, only two parallel-design studies were rated as having a low-risk of bias, while the remaining studies were judged to have some concerns. Regarding the effectiveness of extended reality-based training, six studies reported improvements in students' theoretical knowledge or practical skills, whereas one study found no significant difference. In addition, two studies assessing students' self-perceptions indicated a clear positive impact of extended reality technologies.Conclusion: Extended reality-based training is a potentially useful modality for current endodontics education.","PeriodicalId":50216,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Dental Education","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145151804","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A total of 111 DH students, 41 juniors, and 70 seniors. All participating students and 20 faculty were randomized into control or intervention groups, in which there were 54 and 57 students, respectively. Eight study team examiners calibrated and used the PE. The intervention group faculty received endoscopic visualization of calculus to deliver endoscope guided (EG) feedback, while the control group received the clinical standard procedure from their designated faculty.Results: Agreement between the calculus index of students and examiners and of faculty and examiners was estimated using weighted kappa statistics. The intervention group demonstrated a statistically significant difference (0.014) for calculus removal compared to the control group. For the post calculus detection and removal, the intervention group had a higher kappa for all surfaces compared to the control group: mesial surfaces, (intervention 0.158, control 0.002), distal surfaces (intervention 0.108, control 0.034), buccal surfaces (intervention 0.169, control 0.139), and lingual surfaces (intervention 0.134, control 0.070). The intervention group detected and removed more calculus than the control group.Conclusions: This study represented the first known three-DH program clinical trial to implement innovative technology to enhance student performance. Students who received EG feedback demonstrated enhanced tactile detection and calculus removal. .","PeriodicalId":50216,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Dental Education","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145139166","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Dental education institutions are responsible for cultivating the oral healthcare workforce of the future, but their ability to meet the growing dental burden is hampered by the intentional dismantling of equitable, race-conscious policies in education. This manuscript makes the case for dental school administrators and faculty to ethically promote racial equity and inclusion in their institutions and proposes strategies to accomplish this goal.Methods: The authors synthesized existing evidence to support the promotion of anti-racist initiatives in oral health education and dental curricula. They proposed a three-pronged call to action detailing strategies that dental school administrators could rapidly implement to drive equity and higher-quality dental education and oral healthcare more broadly.Results: The authors strongly recommend that dental school administrators: 1) Intentionally frame a message of urgency regarding the promotion of racial equity in dental education, 2) Elevate student leaders to be the leading advocates for inclusivity in dental schools, and 3) Evaluate student applicants holistically using professional competencies, so the future dental workforce will feature professionals who uphold all the standards of the profession, not just academic standards.Conclusions: The reversal of racially inclusive educational policies threatens to diminish the quality of dental education. With these proposed strategies and others, educators can improve dental schools nationally, and the future oral healthcare workforce can better serve all people.","PeriodicalId":50216,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Dental Education","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145092791","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
