The case study examines how commercial value for new ideas is created through business model design. More specifically, the study is concerned with the commercialization process of a ‘dental care on wheels’ prototype called Suupirssi, which was originally manufactured for teaching and training purposes. It was later considered that mobile dental care services, and perhaps other types of mobile health care services, could have a wider business potential in both domestic and global markets. The case study elaborates on the process of designing and testing multiple business models that could be used either separately or simultaneously.

COVID-19 has had a huge impact on dentistry. Dental care professionals work in close proximity with patients, they are therefore at high risk of contracting coronavirus. As of 25th March, all routine dentistry was postponed. The pandemic has led to clinic closures, university closures and postponement of exams and interviews. This has resulted in a deficit in clinical exposure for undergraduates and trainees. Changes in examination format have been implemented to prevent delays in course completions. The GDC have reassured that measures are being put in place to reduce the effect of COVID-19 on training. CPD/Clinical Relevance: This article aims to explore the impact of SARS-CoV-2 on dental education and dental training programmes in the UK.

The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of training programmes on recreation and entertainment skills provided remotely for people with autism spectrum disorder and intellectual disabilities. The researcher used the descriptive approach in his survey input and the study sample was chosen by the stratified random method, where the subjects were distributed in groups and the individuals of the sample were identified. The results indicated that the level of recreational programme planning and implementation was moderate, while the level of follow-up was low. The results also indicated that there are statistically significant differences due to the variables of the recreational training service provider and of the disability category. Special education experts evaluated the effectiveness of the training programmes on recreation and recreational skills through information provided remotely, in general, and in all three areas, to a degree that exceeded the evaluation of families of children with disabilities. To the benefit of the category of intellectual disability, the results showed that there were no statistically significant differences regarding the variables of the student's sex, academic stage, or the tools used in distance education and training. The study recommended conducting further studies dealing with other variables and measuring the impact of providing recreational programs for people with disabilities.

Dentistry has seen a number of radical changes in recent years, no more so than in relation to the role of dental care professionals. Several of these innovations were as a result of the Nuffield Foundation inquiry in 1993, which culminated in the publication of Education and Training of Personnel Auxiliary to Dentistry. 1 This visionary document encouraged flexibility in the delivery of dental care, suggesting that oral health needs of the population could be met by a variety of professionals, each possessing specific skills.

Any concerns about paediatric patients in general dental practice can be stressful for all involved. Barriers to the reporting of concerns by dental teams are known to exist. Anything that can help ease those situations can only be beneficial. In this article we look at three scenarios that could arise which I am often asked about during teaching and training sessions on safeguarding and child protection for dental teams. They can be discussed at team meetings and training, so that if they are ever to happen for real, everyone will know exactly what to do. This article cannot be completely prescriptive as there will be local variations, but it gives general guidance on issues raised by the scenarios. If you already have a child protection policy in your practice, make sure you know what it says; and if you don't this article will point the way to further resources for developing one.
