A Flipped Classroom method for teaching of adult practical pre-clinical dental skills was introduced to the BDS curriculum in Glasgow during the 2015/2016 academic session. This report provides a commentary of the first years' experience, from the identification of the need to optimise teaching resources, through the planning, implementation and development of the method, with an early indication of performance.
This paper demonstrates the use of a novel technique to aid the surgical procedure of autotransplantation of immature premolar teeth. The use of autotransplantation in this case allowed the difficult situation of two missing units in the upper left quadrant to be reduced to one unit, while retaining symmetry in the upper arch. Compared to previous studies, the use of cone beam CT to create a 3D prototype reduced radiation dose compared to spiral CT and drastically reduced the extra-oral time of the donor tooth from extraction to transplantation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
