摘要

口腔卫生员在促进口腔健康和预防口腔疾病方面起着至关重要的作用。牢固的牙齿形态学基础对有效的口腔卫生实践至关重要。本研究旨在评估和比较口腔卫生学本科学生和执业牙科卫生员的牙齿形态学知识。材料与方法:对54名口腔卫生学一年级学生(对照组)和58名执业口腔卫生员(实验组)进行牙齿鉴定检查。参与者的任务是识别40颗拔出的牙齿,错误分为三个严重程度:1型(侧/组错位),2型(错误的下颌识别)和3型(错误识别主牙组)。分析了执业卫生师职业经验与鉴定错误的关系。结果:结果显示,牙科保健员的正确识别率明显低于学生(p)。结论:这些发现表明,牙科保健员的识别错误与临床经验呈正相关,表明基础知识的长期保留有所下降。维持基本能力需要在初始学习之外不断强化。随着时间的推移,将牙齿形态学纳入继续教育计划可以帮助解决这些差距,提高记忆力和提高专业表现。

Knowledge Retention in Tooth Morphology Among Dental Hygienists.

Introduction: Dental hygienists play an essential role in promoting oral health and preventing oral diseases. A strong foundation in tooth morphology is critical for effective dental hygiene practise. This study aims to evaluate and compare tooth morphology knowledge among undergraduate dental hygiene students and practising dental hygienists.

Materials and methods: A Tooth Identification Examination was conducted with 54 first-year dental hygiene students (Control Group) and 58 practising dental hygienists (Experimental Group). Participants were tasked with identifying 40 extracted teeth, with errors categorised into three levels of severity: Type 1 (Side/Group Misplacement), Type 2 (Incorrect Jaw Identification) and Type 3 (Misidentification of the Main Tooth Group). For the practising hygienists, the relationship between years of professional experience and identification errors was analysed.

Results: Results revealed that dental hygienists had a significantly lower correct identification rate compared to students (p < 0.001). Among the hygienists, 40 (68.96%) made 10 or more errors, and 32 (55.17%) failed the test by exceeding 12 errors. On average, this group made 18.93 errors, with Types 2 and 3 errors accounting for 71.95% of all mistakes. A significant increase in errors was observed with more years of experience (p < 0.001).

Conclusions: These findings demonstrate a positive correlation between identification errors and clinical experience among hygienists, suggesting a decline in long-term retention of foundational knowledge. Maintaining essential competencies requires ongoing reinforcement beyond initial learning. Integrating tooth morphology into continuing education programmes could help address these gaps, improve retention and enhance professional performance over time.

期刊介绍: The aim of the European Journal of Dental Education is to publish original topical and review articles of the highest quality in the field of Dental Education. The Journal seeks to disseminate widely the latest information on curriculum development teaching methodologies assessment techniques and quality assurance in the fields of dental undergraduate and postgraduate education and dental auxiliary personnel training. The scope includes the dental educational aspects of the basic medical sciences the behavioural sciences the interface with medical education information technology and distance learning and educational audit. Papers embodying the results of high-quality educational research of relevance to dentistry are particularly encouraged as are evidence-based reports of novel and established educational programmes and their outcomes.
