Predoctoral Dental Students’ Perceptions and Experiences with Prosthodontics

Purpose : The aims of this study were to: (1) investigate the perceptions and experiences of predoctoral dental students and advanced standing students on mentorship, exposure to prosthodontics, and future need for the specialty, and (2) establish a baseline of students’ perceptions of the impact of prosthodontics on salary, personal and patient quality of life, and the profession of dentistry. Materials and Methods : A survey was distributed to 494 predoctoral and advanced standing students at the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine. Questions focused on the perceptions and experiences with the specialty of prosthodontics. A total of 410 surveys were analyzed using Chi Square tests and univariate and multivariate analysis with statistical software. Results : Response rate was 83%. A positive initial introduction to prosthodontics was reported by 57% of students. Most students had positive experiences with prosthodontic faculty and enjoyed laboratory work and challenging/complex dentistry. A greater need for prosthodontists in the future was perceived by 82% of respondents, with 63% reporting that the future of prosthodontics had been emphasized. Students reported (1) a preclinical course directed by prosthodontists and (2) working in the clinic with prosthodontic faculty (p < 0.006) as having the biggest impact on their introduction to prosthodontics. A desire to pursue training or a career in prosthodontics was reported by 3.4% of the respondents, with 1.7% of them pursuing prosthodontics. Enjoyment of providing care in prosthodontics was the most important factor for those who decided to pursue prosthodontic postgraduate training. When compared to other specialties, prosthodontics ranked low with regards to its impact on salary (7^th), personal quality of life (5^th), patient quality of life (4^th), and strengthening of the dental field (7^th). Conclusion : Reasons few students are interested in prosthodontics as a career, despite a positive first introduction and high perceived future need for prosthodontists may be attributed to a number of factors. These include insufficient prosthodontically, trained faculty, lack of a mentorship program, lack of an advanced graduate program, a perception of feeling unprepared upon graduation, and misconception of potential income in prosthodontics.     

Dental hygiene's interdisciplinary relationship with dental public health: a position paper

Dental hygienists' collaboration with social institutions, health-care workers and organisations, educational institutions, and dentistry can prevent oral diseases. Dental hygienists working in these organisations can reach an unprecedented number of people, thereby increasing preventive oral care to many undeserved. Working within a dental public health career increases choices and opportunities for the dental hygienist and benefits the public.     

Motivation towards career choice of Brazilian freshman students in a fifteen-year period

Examining dental students' profiles and perspectives contributes to discussions concerning dental education and practice. This study aimed, first, to investigate Brazilian dental students' reasons for pursuing dentistry as an occupation and, secondly, to consider the professional expectations of freshman students at a Brazilian public university over a fifteen-year period. A cross-sectional study was performed using data from a self-administered questionnaire to all first-year students enrolled in the 1993-95 and 2006-08 periods at the Federal University of Goias, Brazil (n=376). A total of 296 students responded (response rate=78.7 percent). Frequency analysis and chi-square tests were used to compare frequencies between the two time periods. Job conception was cited as the primary reason for pursuing dentistry, and the students considered oral health promotion and oral disease prevention as the primary purposes of dentistry. Most students intended to serve both high and low socioeconomic populations and both private and public practices after graduation. The majority cited an interest in specializing in clinical fields, orthodontics being the most frequent option. Significant trends included a greater interest in health promotion and public services and specializing in aesthetic dentistry and implantology in the 2006-08 period. This study revealed significant differences in the freshman students' motivations and professional perspectives over time. Personal views and concepts about profession are major influencing factors for choosing dentistry as a career.     

A survey on the preference for continuing professional dental education amongst general dental practitioners who attended the 26th Asia Pacific Dental Congress

AIMS: To identify the subjects of interest and to examine the modes as well as means of study for continuing professional dental education amongst general dental practitioners who attended the 26th Asia Pacific Dental Congress, 28 May-1 June 2004, Hong Kong. METHODS: A total of 381 general dental practitioners as the registered conference delegates from Hong Kong, Mainland China and other Asia-Pacific regions were randomly selected for the present survey. The survey was conducted through face-to-face interviews by a group of practising dentists in Hong Kong. RESULTS: Overall, orthodontics and prosthodontics were the most popular subjects for clinical degree programmes, whilst oral implantology and cosmetic dentistry were the highly preferred subjects for continuing education courses. Concerning the preferred mode of study for degree programmes, the part-time study mode was chosen by 68.3% of the participating dentists. A didactic teaching approach was preferred by most of the participants (81.7%) for postgraduate study. The majority of the interviewees (76.5%) were interested in a proposed clinical degree programme to be offered jointly by The University of Hong Kong and a leading university in the Mainland. Overall, there was no marked difference in the preference for continuing dental education amongst the respondents from Hong Kong, Mainland China and other Asia-Pacific regions. CONCLUSIONS: The present survey shows the currently preferred specialty areas and subjects for continuing professional dental education amongst the general dental practitioners who attended the 26th Asia Pacific Dental Congress, with didactic teaching as the most preferred mode of study on a part-time basis.     

The Institute of Medicine Study of Dental Education: Issues Affecting Prosthodontics

In 1993, the National Academy of Sciences' Institute of Medicine (IOM) convened a committee to study dental education and to make recommendations regarding the future of dentistry. The study was prompted by educational and professional concerns: specifically, the number of dental school closures, the high cost of dental education, the size of the dental workforce, and the role of dentistry within medicine and the health care system. In January 1995, the IOM's Committee on the Future of Dental Education concluded "Dental Education at the Crossroads—Challenges and Change", a 345-page report that includes eight policy and strategic principles and presents 22 recommendations.¹ The unabridged text of the strategic principles and recommendations is published at the beginning of this paper.
The IOM text notes impressive achievements in dentistry, and the recommendations form a foundation for the assessment of the many crucial issues that face dental education and dentistry today. The IOM report urges each dental school to review its curriculum and individually determine how best to fulfill its missions of education, research, and patient care. As dental education looks to the future, the practice of dentistry will be altered by social, economic, political, and technological developments as our consumers (students and patients) demand professional accountability and effectiveness.² In the midst of this call for change, the specialty of prosthodontics is faced with many challenges and opportunities. This article is the response to a request from the American Dental Association (ADA) to address the IOM study on dental education as it affects the specialty and practice of prosthodontics. This article presents the position of the American College of Prosthodontists (ACP); however, some sections have been expanded to provide additional background information.
