“…Methodological differences existed in teaching, curricula, and placements between undergraduate- and postgraduate-level IPE programs. Seventeen studies reported postgraduate level IPE programs on children palliative care, [ 38 ] dental care, [ 32 , 45 , 47 ] social work, [ 26 , 54 ] and gerontology. [ 36 , 64 ] Undergraduate-level IPE programs emphasized the interdisciplinary collaboration, professionals in health care and team work, [ 18 ] dental care, [ 33 , 36 ] crisis management, [ 70 ] palliative oncology care, [ 19 ] ethics and professionalism training, [ 60 ] and psychosocial oncology practice and research.…”

“…IP clinical placements were typically based in hospitals, communities, or a combination of the 2 places. The profession-specific clinical practice was reported in 1 study [ 32 ] and an unstructured IP clinical practice in the curricula was identified across the IPE programs. A few studies showed that evidence-based clinical practice took place in the department of social work IPE initiatives.…”

“…[ 33 , 59 ] A shared-learning approach had been employed in IPE, particularly in some European countries and China. [ 32 , 38 , 75 ] The effectiveness of teaching and outcomes depended on the educational formats, standards of teaching methods, and selection of appropriate methods.…”

“…A study from Saudi Arabia showed that DHs had a low level of knowledge about the oral-systemic diseases relationship. [29] Several studies highlighted many benefits of inter-professional collaboration both within oral health teams as well as with general health care[21430] The present study showed that one third of the DH in Sweden and Portugal sometimes worked with other oral health professionals.…”

Aims and Objectives: The aim of the present study was to identify the dental hygienists (DHs)’ working areas and compare these findings between Sweden and Portugal. Materials and Methods: A web-based questionnaire was sent by E-mail to all 2943 members of the Swedish DH Association and 381 members of the Portuguese DH Association. The questionnaire contained questions about; number of years of work, which patient groups they worked with, if they had got sufficient knowledge from the education and what different tasks they worked with. Independent sample t -test, relative risk, and logistic regression analysis were used as statistical methods. Results: The response rate for Sweden was 31% ( n = 923) and the corresponding figure for Portugal was 53.5% ( n = 204). The most common tasks for the DHs, in both countries, were to diagnose and treat patients with periodontitis and to diagnose and perform caries prevention. In Portugal, 86.5% worked with orthodontic patients compared to 32.3% in Sweden ( P = 0.001). The logistic regression analysis showed that there was a 25% ( P = 0.02) higher probability that Swedish DHs took more X-rays and 38% ( P = 0.042) probability that they had more communications skills compared to the Portuguese DHs. Conclusion: The DH profession in Sweden and Portugal was overall quite similar. Despite a few local differences, both the academic education and scope of practice corresponded well between the countries. The few discrepancies could be explained by differences in legislations in each country.

“…It was further suggested that the attitudes of academic staff reinforced these divisions that were not so evident in the early years of studies . Another IPE study with students from dentistry, dental hygiene and therapy and dental nursing in the UK has shown that although IPE was perceived as beneficial in relation to teamwork and collaboration, dentists had a higher preference for an exclusive professional identity to learning compared to other disciplines …”

Introduction Although the interdisciplinary management of the ageing individual is highly stressed, there is limited information on the outcomes of interprofessional education (IPE) activities of dental students in geriatrics. This systematic review aimed to identify studies with dentists participating in formal IPE courses in geriatrics and assess the outcomes reported. Material and Methods Electronic databases (PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL and Scopus), reference lists from relevant studies and cited papers were investigated. The inclusion criteria were as follows: about formal interactive learning; learners from at least 2 disciplines; including dentists; related to geriatrics; any study design; reporting any outcome; only full papers; published in peer‐reviewed journals; English language. Results Of the 1259 records retrieved, 26 were assessed for eligibility based on defined inclusion criteria and 7 studies were included in the final analysis. Two studies reported specific outcomes for dentists with lower, or even negative, post‐training scores for interprofessional collaborative practice competences compared to other disciplines, but only one of them used a previously validated scale. There were no reports on the effect of IPE courses on dental trainees’ gerodontology skill improvements or on their attitudes towards the older persons. Conclusion The existing evidence is insufficient to determine any outcomes of formal interprofessional training of dentists in geriatrics. More studies with better experimental design should be developed. Among the strengths of IPE in geriatrics are the interdisciplinary nature of geriatric care, the sharing of common geriatric competences among participating disciplines and the opportunity to use nursing homes as a training site.
