“…In developing the scope of this study, the experiences of various institutions of higher learning were carefully selected and considered. Although not statistically significant, video-assisted lecture helped in changing the opinions of students toward pain-free dental injections in children at the Faculty of Dental Medicine, University of Medicine of Tirana, Albania [7]. The exam performance results of a biological psychology course show a significant difference toward recorded lectures with positive effect at the knowledge base but not in the critical thinking skills [8].…”

Video-based teaching module is well known and practiced in some university courses but the effort to validate this type of education tool in medical and health education system is yet to be expanded and explored especially from pharmacy students' perspective. Materials and method: forty pharmacy students evaluated their experience from attending a one-hour lecture and watching a short video-based lecture lasted for eight minutes both were about clinical presentation and diagnosis of schizophrenia. Result and discussion: 70% of the sample (n=28) preferred videobased lecturing. Advantages and disadvantages varied from faculty and students' perspectives, but it saved time, was enjoyable and memorable. Conclusion: positive agreement of pharmacy students toward schizophrenia video-based lecture was assured and effort must be put on validating video-based lecture content.

“…Also, dentist information about gender, age, region and years of practice was part of the form. The study was conducted in a one-page survey ( Figure 1) as recently defined by Kuscu et al [8][9][10]. Dentists were advised to respond based on their own opinions and to ensure confidentiality a nickname should be used.…”

Aim: The aim of this study was to access the Albanian dentist's attitude and perception toward pain-free dental injections in children. Methods: The survey was conducted in Tirana, Albania. A questionnaire regarding the dentist's attitude toward "Pain-free Local Anesthetic Techniques in Children" was used. It was structured as anonymous with six closed-ended questions in a Liker scale. Also, dentist information about gender, age, region and years of practice was part of the form. The information collected was analyzed using IBM SPSS 20. Descriptive statistics and one way ANOVA was used in comparing groups. The results were evaluated within a 95% confidence interval. Statistical significance level was established at p<0.05. Results: A total of 203 dentists were included in the study. 86 (42.4%) were male and 117 (57.6%) were female dentists. Their mean age was 35 years old (sd 10.1) and the mean clinical practice experience was 10 years old (sd 9.5). 72 (35.5%) of dentists believed that pain is inevitable during local anesthesia in children and 158 (77.8%) agreed that cotton pallet should be better applied as a topical anesthetics. 128 (63%) of dentists believed in the possibility of pain-free local anesthesia in children. There was a higher agreement in males but not statistically significant. There was a statistically significant higher agreement between dentists in Tirana (the capital) p<0.03 compared with the other regions while experience (p<0.2) and age (p<0.9) did not show any significant change Conclusions: A higher proportion of Albanian dentists believe the importance of pain free dental injections in children. Especially dentists in urban seem to perform pain-free LA injections.

“…Historically, the practise of LA was started in 1884 by Halsted and Hall, with injection of a cocaine solution into mandibular foramen region (Matas, 1952). Since then, LA has become an integral part of contemporary dentistry with an overarching aim to provide pain-free and effective dental treatment to patients (Hysi et al, 2018).…”

Objectives: To investigate the quantitative impact of experience on competence in local anesthetic administration amongst final-year Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) students.Methods: A Longitudinal cohort study design was employed. Purposive sampling was used to enrol final year BDS students and assess their competence longitudinally over a full academic year. The assessment criteria and scoring structure were reviewed during inspection of the institution by the regulator and the external examiner. Participants were assessed on four occasions, namely, after they had gained experience in performing 15, 40, 70 and 100 patient encounters involving local anesthetic administration.Results: A total of 177 participants who were assessed including 31 males (18%) and 146 females (82%). Assessment of the participants on four occasions provided a total of 885 data points. A chi-square test was carried out to test the hypothesis. Students in Group 4 with over 100 patient encounters were most likely to pass assessment, while students in 1 with 15 patient encounters were most likely to fail. There was a statistically significant variation in the proportion of 'Below Standard', 'Meets Standard' and 'Exceeds Standard' judgements awarded to students with differing levels of prior experience (p <0.001), confirming the research hypothesis. Data on differential performance of students by gender did not show significant differences. Conclusions:The results of this study show a linear relationship between the number of patient encounters involving administration of local anesthesia and demonstration of competency amongst final year dental students. Over 90% students achieved competence after performing 100 patient encounters.
