Objective Oral medicine specialists provide care to patients with oral and systemic conditions. Descriptive and retrospective studies have been conducted internationally to understand the referral patterns for oral health conditions, but have not been conducted in Trinidad and Tobago. The purpose of this study was to identify patients’ demographics and lesion types, referral sources to the University of the West Indies (UWI) Dental School, Department of Oral Medicine (UWI OM Department) and Oral Pathology and to determine the mean time (in working days) from patient referral to consultation. Methods Dental students and residents assigned to the OM rotation, completed a questionnaire for all patients referred to the UWI OM department for consultation and treatment, during one year from 2017-2018. All patients were examined using a standard oral assessment protocol by residents of the department. Diagnosis was made based on histological or clinical assessment. Results There were 106 referrals. Patients’ mean age was 47.1yrs, 60.4% were females, 50% were Indo-Caribbean. Most referrals (45.3%) were from private general dentists, followed by dental referrals from a health centre (19.8%). The most common diagnoses included: Mucocele (10.4%), Lichen Planus (8.5%) and Erosive Lichen Planus (7.5%). Oral lesions were most common in sites labelled as “other”. Conclusion The findings suggest that referrals by general dental practitioners were higher in proportion compared to medical practitioners. There were more female participants and most referrals were for oral white lesions. There was just over a two week, mean-time, in working days between the initial referral and date of consultation.

A description is given of the teaching of Orthodontics to Undergraduate Dental Students in Nigeria over the last 15 years. The advantages of a change in Orthodontic curriculum at the University of Lagos Dental School are highlighted. The importance of having at least one full-time Orthodontist, in each Nigeirian dental school, is emphasized.

Charles Kemball was born in Edinburgh on 27 March 1923, the only child of Charles Henry and Janet Kemball. His father was a dental surgeon and latterly a part–time senior lecturer in dental anatomy at the University of Edinburgh. The Kemballs were associated with the farming community in the county of Suffolk, his grandfather, Charles Kemball, being a farmer, maltster, brewer and undertaker in Boxford. Charles's father was first apprenticed in 1905 to a dentist in Ipswich, but moved to Edinburgh to complete his dental studies; there he spent the rest of his life, except for a year in Philadelphia, and was elected to Fellowship of the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 1936. Charles's mother, Janet (née White) was a Scot born in the west of Scotland.

Objective: We determined the ophthalmic diagnostic of dental students at the University del Valle (Cali, Colombia), and compared the findings of ophthalmologic evaluation in a group of students previously exposed to the use of the curing light in clinical practice, and other group of students not exposed to it. Methods: It was implemented a survey by interview to report possible diseases, accidents and variables related to ocular pathology, including the use of curing lamp. Additional to this, it was performed an electroretinography, a photograph of eye fundus and a complete ophthalmological examination to each student. Results: It was not found a statistically significant association between injury and exposure to the lamp, but there was a trend towards a higher percentage of ninth-semester students who presented some kind of ocular pathology, compared with students coursing fifth semester. Conclusion: It is important to continue promoting and increasing knowledge about biosafety standards in dental students, dentists, assistants and patients, and give continuity to interdisciplinary work like this, which worked in a complementary manner with ophthalmologists. Further studies are recommended in the same population, after a period longer than two years.

Health law and medical ethics are both integral parts of undergraduate medical curricula. The literature has addressed the importance of teaching law and ethics separately in medical school settings, yet there have been few descriptions of teaching law and ethics together in the same curriculum. A combined program in law and ethics required for first-year medical and dental students was developed and implemented by Professor Joseph (Jay) M. Healey, Jr., at the University of Connecticut Schools of Medicine and Dental Medicine from 1975 until his death in 1993. This Article describes the thirty-hour, interactive, case-based course he created. The course, Legal and Ethical Aspects of Medicine and Dental Medicine (LEA), has continued after Jay 's death, and is one of his many legacies to us. LEA consists of fifty-six actual and hypothetical cases written by Jay from which basic legal and ethical principles are extracted by participants and reinforced by instructors.

Abstract Background The National Dental Undergraduate Clinical Skills Competition known as the Guanghua Cup was held in Guangzhou, China, for three consecutive years from 2017 to 2019 to promote the clinical teaching of undergraduate dental education and to enhance communication among different universities. The present study aimed to introduce the organization, procedures, and consequences of the competition, in addition to analyzing the influences of competition on the reform of undergraduate dental education. Methods By analyzing the descriptive statistics of the Guanghua Cup, the competitions’ organization, the participating students’ performances, and the outcomes of competitions were analyzed. After distributing questionnaires to all participants of the 2nd and 3rd Cups, their attitudes towards the competition and their evaluation of the role of the competitions in promoting undergraduate dental education were analyzed. Results A total of 24 schools participated in the 3 competition years. The contents of the competitions covered cariology, endodontics, periodontology, prosthodontics, oral and maxillofacial surgery, dental anatomy, and first aid (e.g., operative skills and theoretical knowledge). Compared with those of the 2nd Cup, the mean scores of the operative skills significantly improved in the stations related to periodontology, prosthodontics, and dental anatomy (p < 0.05) in the 3rd Cup. In addition, 338 valid questionnaires were collected, for a response rate of 87.79 %. Overall, the participants spoke highly of the Guanghua Cup. Based on their self-perception and self-evaluation, the majority of interviewees agreed that the competition helped develop collegiality and teamwork among the participating students, improved the students’ clinical skills and promoted the improvement of teaching resources (e.g., purchasing and updating equipment, models or experimental materials). Conclusions The competition enjoyed the widest coverage since it involved dental schools from all of the different geographical regions of China. Dental students could exhibit their clinical skills in a competitive environment and develop collegiality and teamwork. Future competitions should be optimized through their organization and contents. The education quality of the participating schools affected by such competition should be investigated in a more objective and comparable way.
