Current approaches in psychology look at human adaptation reserves as part of individual character. “the Big Five” evaluates subjects’ actual behaviour and levels of reserves of adaptation on each of the five scales. The results show reliably identifiable changes between the first and third years of study. Students acquire traits associated with introversion and reduce their social contacts (р≤0.01). A reduction to average is also visible in “Attachment – Detachment” (р≤0.05) and “Playfulness – Practicality” (р≤0.01). It can be seen that there is a reduction in the adaptation abilities of dental students between the first and third years in terms of social contact and the application of practical knowledge. Mastering the disciplines under study becomes harder, while the amount of theoretical knowledge and practical ability required increases, necessitating higher levels of concentration. Taking into account the increase in academic workload during this period, some of the above can be put down to stress.

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate caries diagnosis and treatment decisions made by undergraduate dental students based on ICDAS or Nyvad criteria. Methods: Twelve students analyzed 90 digital photographs of permanent teeth at different clinical stages of carious lesion development and chose among different treatments in three different assessments: when there was no knowledge of the criteria (described as “No knowledge (N)”; when there was theoretical knowledge of the criteria (described as “Theoretical knowledge (T)” and when there was theoretical knowledge, clinical experience about dental caries and the criteria (described as “Theoretical and clinical knowledge (TC)”. For “T” and “TC” the students were randomized into two experimental groups – ICDAS or Nyvad (experimental units: 6 students/group). The reference standard was established cooperatively by two experienced researchers. Criteria performance was evaluated by sensitivity, specificity, AUC, and Kappa statistics. Treatment decision was described in percentage by contingency tables and Spearman’s correlation with the reference standard. Results: The first assessment demonstrated a high percentage of operative treatment even for initial enamel lesions based on ICDAS criteria and treatment was proposed for both active and inactive lesions, according to the Nyvad criteria. In the second assessment, the students continued recommending treatments for initial or inactive lesions, but less frequently. In the third assessment, treatment decisions presented greater cohesion in relation to the assigned classification criterion. The criteria presented no differences between them in terms of diagnostic in the third assessment. Conclusion: Clinical experience may improve caries detection and treatment decisions with the use of ICDAS and Nyvad criteria.

Objective: To evaluate the awareness of emergency trauma management and the potential role of dentists in handling tooth avulsion injuries. Method: The cross-sectional study was conducted at the Dental outpatients department of Jinnah Medical and Dental College, Karachi, from December 2020 to March 2021, and comprised dentists and final year dental students of either gender. Data was collected using a 17-item questionnaire to assess the awareness level regarding the knowledge of traumatic dental emergencies and the role of a dentist in handling a traumatic tooth injury. Data was analysed using SPSS 20. Result: Of the 170 subjects, 52(30.5%) were males and 118(69.4%) were females. Overall, 139(81.8%) subjects had prior knowledge regarding avulsion, 164(96.5 %) were aware of the term avulsed tooth, 106(62.4%) considered milk to be the best transport media for an avulsed tooth, 159(93.5%) knew the significance of extra-oral time, and all 170(100%) subjects said they wanted to study more about dental traumatic injuries. Conclusion: There was adequate knowledge about the term avulsion, transport media and extra-oral time, and there was evidence of interest about learning more among the subjects.

Introduction: Students must possess good theoretical knowledge in order to perform correct clinical treatments with good prognosis and in safe conditions but merging theoretical knowledge and clinical practice in dental education is a challenge for both the training staff and the students. Up until now, no studies have been published in our country regarding the challenges faced by dental students in their clinical works performance for restorative dentistry and endodontic treatments. Aim: The aim of this study was to assess the factors that may influence the performance of restorative and endodontic treatment procedures performed by 5th year dental students and their own perception on clinical work. Materials and Methods: This was a cross-sectional study carried out in February 2020. A self-made questionnaire with 13 questions was distributed via e-mail link to 5th year dental students at the University of Medicine and Pharmacy Iuliu Hat‚ieganu Cluj Napoca, Romania, Department of Conservative Dentistry, all 5th year dental student who had previously undergone two years of clinical training. One hundred eleven students were selected after applying the inclusion criteria that were, having two years of clinical training experience and having passed their theoretical ergonomics, restorative dentistry and endodontics examinations. Descriptive Statistics were used for data analysis. Results: The majority of the students 83% (n=92) encountered difficulties applying the rules of ergonomics related to posture. The most common causes that prevented students from applying the rules of ergonomics during the clinical work were challenges related to working in indirect vision (n=90), lack of help by an assistant during treatment (n=52), working time allocated being too short (n=50), lack of sufficient space around the unit (n=43). Regarding the theoretical level required for restorative cases diagnosis, treatment plan and treatment itself, 64% (n=71) of students claimed to have had the necessary theoretical knowledge in most cases they met and only 25% (n=28) could confidently treat all cases. Establishing the diagnosis and treatment plan for endodontic cases was difficult stage for 3.6% (n=4) of students, of average difficulty in the case of 81.1% (n=90) of students, while 15.3% (n=17) did not consider them difficult at all. Conclusion: The results indicated that students had high levels of confidence in their theoretical knowledge when establishing the diagnosis and the treatment plan, but they encountered multiple challenges both with working ergonomically and with mastering the practical skills needed in different stages of the treatment.

ABSTRACT Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the level of knowledge and attitude of Saudi dental students in the management of dental trauma in children. Materials and Methods: A self-administered questionnaire comprising 17 close-ended questions was used in this survey. The questions were divided into three parts including: Personal and professional profile; knowledge assessment; attitude toward dental trauma. Data of 307 respondents were analyzed using SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Studies) version 22.0 (IBM Corporation, Chicago, IL, USA). Results: The response rate was 76.8%. Around 40.3% of students reported attending additional courses about dental trauma with a significant difference between males (57.2%) and females (19.4%). The vast majority of students (95.7%) stressed the importance of dental trauma education. While 77% could correctly identify the media of transportation of an avulsed tooth, only 26.9% of the students knew the proper method of transportation. Regarding the knowledge of immediate replantation, only 67.5% of students responded correctly. Conclusion: The present study demonstrates an insufficient knowledge concerning dental trauma management among dental students in Saudi Arabia. This highlights the need to improve the knowledge of dental students regarding dental trauma and its management using a variety of educational methods such as problem-based learning and powering the curriculum concerning those topics of dental trauma.
