“…Students and medical professionals have both participated in protests for BLM. In a move showcasing national support, and due to the large number of medical students participating in BLM protests across the country, the AAMC released guidance in July 2020 for selection committees in both undergraduate and graduate medical education, urging committees to carefully look at the circumstances surrounding protest-related arrest 22 . We thus hope institutions enact policies that guide and support students attending rallies and congressional hearings, discussing accommodations for class or clinical rotations.…”

With recent advances in understanding racial, socioeconomic, and mental health issues in medicine and their relation to policy and legislation, medical professionals are increasingly involved in local and national advocacy efforts. At the frontlines of these initiatives are medical students who, in addition to completing required coursework and clinical training, devote themselves to serving patients through civic participation. The burgeoning evidence concerning health care disparities and inequity, along with greater awareness of racial and socioeconomic discrimination, have made advocacy an essential aspect of many students’ medical training. Every year, thousands of medical students join national medical advocacy organizations, in addition to regional, state, and local groups. Despite the rich history of medical student involvement in advocacy, there remains much speculation and skepticism about the practice as an essential component of the medical profession. From early initiatives pushing for national health insurance after World War II to encouraging antidiscrimination policies and practices, medical students have been collectively working to create change for themselves and their patients. Through efforts such as banning smoking on airplanes, creating safe syringe programs, and protesting against police brutality, many medical students work tirelessly in advocacy despite minimal educational support or guidance about the advocacy process. Given that medical student advocacy continues to grow and has shown measurable successes in the past, the authors believe that these efforts should be rewarded and expanded upon. The authors examine historical examples of medical student advocacy to suggest ways in which advocacy can be integrated into core medical school curricula and activities. They call attention to opportunities to support students’ development of knowledge and skills to facilitate legislative change, expansion of interprofessional collaborations and credit, and curricular updates to promote social and health equity.

“…The need to duplicate the mandibular movements extra-orally led to the employment of various methods to record and analyze them. [ 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 ] Patient information can be transferred to an articulator with mounted casts and thus, mandibular movements can be evaluated. Using central relation as a reference point, interarch movements of the articulator are possible.…”

“…Using central relation as a reference point, interarch movements of the articulator are possible. [ 13 ] However, there are several limitations concerning bite registration and articulators. Bite registrations are static recordings; thus, articulators are unable to record real life dynamics of occlusion during mandibular movements.…”

“…[ 15 ] Mechano-electronic recorders and optoelectronic recorders that register mandibular movement electronically have been developed in order to improve precision and efficiency. [ 13 ] In mechano-electronic recorders, mandibular movement is recorded by the digital contact plates and processed by the software. Optoelectronic systems have sensors that are optically tracked by cameras.…”

OBJECTIVES:The aim of this case report was to present the procedure of fabricating a customized occlusal splint, through a revolutionary software that combines cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) with jaw motion tracking (JMT) data and superimposes a digital impression.MATERIALS AND METHODS:The case report was conducted on a 46-year-old female patient diagnosed with the temporomandibular disorder. A CBCT scan and an optical impression were obtained. The range of the patient's mandibular movements was captured with a JMT device. The data were combined in the SICAT software (SICAT, Sirona, Bonn, Germany).RESULTS:The software enabled the visualization of patient-specific mandibular movements and provided a real dynamic anatomical evaluation of the condylar position in the glenoid fossa. After the assessment of the range of movements during opening, protrusion, and lateral movements all the data were sent to SICAT and a customized occlusal splint was manufactured.CONCLUSIONS:The SICAT software provides a three-dimensional real-dynamic simulation of mandibular movements relative to the patient-specific anatomy of the jaw; thus, it opens new possibilities and potentials for the management of temporomandibular disorders.
