Implementing rotary root canal instrumentation in the clinical training of undergraduate students from Saudi Dental Schools: A cross-sectional survey
Introduction: Rotary nickel–titanium files for root canal therapy have become standard treatment modalities in general practice and specialized dental centers. Undergraduate dental students should receive proper training in using rotary files before graduation. Therefore, this study aimed to provide detailed insight into the implementation of rotary root canal instruments in the clinical training of undergraduate students in Saudi Arabia. Materials and Methods: Two randomly selected private schools and 13 government-owned schools were selected to represent all administrative regions in Saudi Arabia. The SurveyMonkey® questionnaire was sent to each dental school through direct communication. It covered most aspects of the rotary root canal instruments used in the clinical training of undergraduate students before graduation. Results: Approximately 92.9% of the included dental schools reported using rotary files in undergraduate teaching; however, only 57.1% had specific clinical requirements for rotary root canal instrumentation in their curricula. Laboratory simulation sessions were the most commonly used preclinical training methods for rotary instrumentation (85.7%). Most dental schools implemented rotary file training in the 4th and 5th years (53.8% and 38.5%, respectively). The ProTaper® (Universal, Next, Gold) was the most commonly used rotary system. Most dental schools had an instructor-to-student ratio of 1:5. Conclusion: Most Saudi dental schools have adopted rotary files during their undergraduate training. However, the curricula of some dental schools do not include a predetermined number of clinical cases treated with rotary instrumentation to ensure better training for students before graduation.
期刊介绍:
Vision SEJ aims to be one of the foremost worldwide periodical on Endodontics, dedicated to the promotion of research, post-graduate training and further education in Endodontics. Mission Statement To serve as a medium for continued Endodontic education and qualitative scientific publications on clinical trials, basic science related to the biological aspects of Endodontics, basic science related to Endodontic techniques as well as dental trauma that will ultimately improve the Endodontic research and patient’s health. Scope In this journal, Endodontists, Endodontic postgraduate students and general dentists, can learn about new concepts in root canal treatment and the latest advances in techniques and instrumentation that help them keep pace with rapid changes in this field. Aims and Objectives To publish cut edge peer-review original articles, case reports, letters to the editor, editorials, review articles, commentaries, and innovations that will impact on Endodontics. To enhance exchange of ideas/information relating to Endodontics and interaction among stakeholders. To encourage networking and partnership between individuals, government and non-governmental organizations for the provision of quality health care. To advocate for training, workshops, seminars, scientific manuscript writing conferences that will advance publishing culture.
