摘要

背景:牙科专业人员通过法医口腔医学的实践协助处理法律和刑事案件。法医口腔医学在过去的一个世纪中不断发展,现在已经成为许多国家本科牙科教育的重要组成部分。20 世纪 60 年代和 70 年代,人们认识到需要对该学科进行正规培训,并将其纳入牙科课程。目的:本研究旨在调查苏丹喀土穆牙科大学的法医牙科学教学情况,并就苏丹法医牙科学教学中应标准化的某些主题和教学标准提出建议。材料和方法:进行了一项观察性、描述性研究,涉及苏丹喀土穆的所有本科牙科院校。研究人员使用谷歌搜索引擎搜索了各院校的网站,以获取英文版的牙科专业课程。然后对这些课程进行分析,以确定是否存在法医牙体/牙科学教学。结果:在参与研究的 19 所大学中,有 5 所大学(26.3%)在本科课程中教授法医牙科学,而有 12 所大学(63.1%)没有教授法医牙科学。两所大学(10.6%)表示在其课程中开设了法医牙科学教学,但并未提供实际教学。法医牙科学的教学主要发生在牙科专业的第二、第三和第四年。三所大学将其视为一门独立的学科,而两所大学则将其纳入口腔颌面病理学中。四所大学只提供讲座,一所大学则将讲座和实践课程结合起来。四所大学由合格的法医牙科医生授课,一所大学由普通牙科医生授课。讲授的主要内容有(1) 法医入门,(2) 人体识别,(3) 牙齿年龄估计,(4) 咬痕解释,(5) 法医中的 DNA,以及 (6) 虐待儿童。结论:由于各种限制,苏丹目前对法医牙科培训的重视程度不足。建议苏丹的所有牙科学校为学生提供学习和熟悉法医牙科的机会,作为其牙科课程的一部分。苏丹牙科理事会应与学术机构和经验丰富的法医牙医建立正式的协调关系,以确保教育系统中拟议的模块课程的质量和相关性。最后,建议将包括牙科记录保存和牙科渎职在内的其他主题纳入当前的模块中。

Teaching of Forensic Dentistry in Khartoum, Sudan
Background: Dental professionals assist with legal and criminal matters through the practice of forensic dentistry which has evolved over the past century and is now a crucial component of undergraduate dental education in many nations. The need for formal training in the subject and its inclusion in dental curricula were acknowledged and addressed in the 1960s and 1970s. Aims: This study aimed to investigate the teaching of forensic dentistry in dental universities of Khartoum, Sudan, and to propose certain topics and teaching criteria to be standardized in forensic dentistry teaching in Sudan. Materials and methods: An observational, descriptive study was conducted, involving all undergraduate dental institutions in Khartoum, Sudan. Institutional websites were searched using the Google search engine to obtain the dental program curricula in English. The curricula were then analyzed to identify the presence of forensic odontology/dentistry teaching. Results: Of the 19 universities included in the study, five (26.3%) teach forensic dentistry in their undergraduate curricula, whereas 12 (63.1%) do not. Two universities (10.6%) indicated the presence of forensic dentistry teaching in their curricula but did not provide actual instruction. The teaching of forensic dentistry mainly occurred during the second, third, and fourth years of the dental program. Three universities considered it an independent subject, while two universities incorporated it into oral and maxillofacial pathology. Four universities provided lectures only, while one university combined lectures and practical sessions. Qualified forensic dentists taught the subject in four universities, while one university had general dentists as instructors. The main topics delivered are: (1) introduction to forensics, (2) human identification, (3) dental age estimation, (4) interpretation of bitemarks, (5) DNA in forensics, and (6) child abuse. Conclusion: Forensic dentistry training is currently undervalued in Sudan due to various limitations. It is recommended that all dental schools in Sudan offer opportunities for students to learn and become acquainted with forensic dentistry as part of their dental programs. The Sudanese Dental Council should establish formal coordination with academic institutions and experienced forensic dentists to ensure the quality and relevance of the proposed modular course within the educational system. Finally, additional topics including dental record-keeping and dental malpractice are suggested for inclusion in the current modules.
