“…New technologies have led to the implementation of innovative learning and teaching methods in dental education away from traditional educational pedagogies. [1][2][3] Among different types of technologies, technology-enhanced learning (TEL) is the application of information and communication technologies in the delivery of education. 4,5 In this systematic review, the concept of TEL was adopted to describe any learning methods that implement computers, mobile devices, software, virtual reality, virtual learning environment and videos as educational tools.…”

Objectives Technology‐enhanced learning (TEL) has been suggested as a suitable learner‐centered pedagogical approach in dental education. However, the results of TEL effectiveness in periodontics education are controversial. Therefore, this systematic review aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of TEL to improve educational outcomes in the periodontics field compared to traditional learning methods. Methods The search comprised randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and crossover studies that were related to periodontics education from the following databases: MedLine, PsycINFO, Eric, Scopus, EMBASE, and Web of Science. Two authors independently performed study selection, data extraction, and assessed risk of bias. Kirkpatrick's 4‐level evaluation model was used to evaluate educational outcomes. Results From 1642 studies, after applying inclusion criteria, 7 studies remained for analysis. On level 1 (Reaction), undergraduate dental students reported positive attitudes related to TEL. On level 2 (Learning), 3 studies found that TEL improved knowledge gain compared to traditional learning methods. Three other studies did not show any difference between TEL and conventional learning methods, and one found that traditional learning methods presented superior results. On level 3 (Behavior), 1 study found that TEL application improved students’ performance. On level 4 (Results), 5 studies suggested that the implementation of TEL would improve educational outcomes in periodontics education if combined with traditional learning methods. Conclusion The findings showed that the exclusive use of TEL does not significantly improve periodontics educational outcomes when compared to traditional learning methods. However, the combination of TEL and traditional learning methods can be the key to enhancing periodontics education.

“…Quando se diz respeito ao treinamento dos profissionais de saúde, a realidade virtual permite que os alunos simulem as práticas de procedimentos mais realistas e sem riscos, assim como a certificação de aprendizagem e competências para técnicas específicas 7 . Na Odontologia, a incorporação de tecnologias na educação permitiu a implementação de métodos de ensino inovadores no processo de ensino-aprendizagem, diferindo do ensino tradicional, que não utiliza tecnologias no processo educacional dos alunos 8,9 .…”

O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar, por meio de uma revisão de literatura, a utilização da realidade virtual no processo de ensino-aprendizagem da graduação em Odontologia. Trata-se de um estudo de revisão integrativa da literatura, com buscas de alta sensibilidade, realizado nas bases de dados Medline (PubMed), EMBASE (Elsevier), Cochrane Library e Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde, utilizando-se descritores relacionados à realidade virtual, ensino na Odontologia e educação, com termos correlatos recuperados no MeSH, DeCS e Emtree. A busca foi realizada em maio de 2022 por ensaios clínicos nas línguas portuguesa, inglesa ou espanhola. Após avaliação por meio dos critérios de inclusão e exclusão estabelecidos, 14 ensaios clínicos, publicados entre os anos de 2004 e 2021 em língua inglesa, foram incluídos. As finalidades mais testadas das tecnologias de realidade virtual foram para preparos cavitários para remoção de cárie (n=7) e no ensino teórico (n=2). Quanto aos instrumentos de avaliação dos participantes, a avaliação prática de destreza manual foi a mais usada (n=9). As limitações mais recorrentes (n=6) foram deficiências na avaliação ou nos métodos avaliativos dos estudos. Assim, conclui-se que a utilização da realidade virtual na área da Odontologia apresenta o potencial de aprimorar habilidades técnicas e complementar o ensino de assuntos teóricos de disciplinas da graduação. Considerando esse potencial, sugere-se que mais estudos sejam realizados para uma melhor eficácia e aplicabilidade da realidade virtual na graduação.

Australia is not immune to these issues, and indeed has experienced tensions over the last two decades, with opposing points of view supported by countless reports of workforce oversupply and undersupply …”

Introduction With nine dental schools across Australia graduating over 500 dental students each year, in addition to nearly 200 overseas‐qualified dentists entering the workforce, dental students are anecdotally advised that they are joining a profession ubiquitous with workforce oversupply. The aim of this study was to shed light on the employment patterns of recent dental graduates from Australian universities and their self‐perceptions of the job market. Materials and Methods This cross‐sectional pilot study involved an online survey conducted in 2017 on recent dental graduates from all Australian dental schools. Graduates’ demographics, their perception of the dental employment prospects, their employment‐related behaviours and employment outcomes, and the relationships between these variables were explored. Results Data on seventy‐one survey respondents (approximately 12% of the total sampling frame) were analysed. They suggested that recent Australian dental graduates are seeking work (73.2%) and undertaking work experience (54.9%) prior to graduation, successfully finding employment within the first‐year post‐graduation (97%), yet not always in their perceived ideal workplace environment (42.2%). Relationships between age, perception of market competitiveness and job searching patterns were revealed. Graduates expressed a desire for more workplace mentorship. The small sample size of this study limits the generalisability of the results, indicating that further research is required. Conclusions The dental employment landscape appears to have adequate employment opportunities for recent dental graduates, yet not always in their perceived ideal workplace environment. Graduates are seeking more mentorship in the workplace.
