Introduction: This scoping review aimed to review the various challenges facing dental education. Dental education faces multiple institutional, student and faculty-based challenges. Institutional challenges include updating infrastructure resources, recruiting qualified faculty, and implementing administrative policies that enhance dental education.

Furthermore, the study aims to evaluate individuals' tolerance levels to VR during dental scaling sessions.
Materials And Methods: A randomised split-mouth design study was conducted on 29 systemically healthy adult patients aged 18 years and above.
Precision oncology aims to match the right drug(s) to the right patient. Equally important is ensuring that precision therapies are offered at the right time. Transformative, rather than incremental, outcome improvement may require treatment at diagnosis rather than in the advanced/metastatic setting after genomic evolution.

Methods: BRFSS 2020 survey data was obtained from 12,198 adults. Participants with missing information in the variables "retinopathy" (N = 569) and "insurance-cost barrier" (N = 75) were excluded.
Expanded analysis of tumor genomics data enables current and future patients to gain more benefits, such as improving diagnosis, prognosis, and therapeutics. Here, we report tumor genomic data from 1146 cases accompanied by simultaneous expert analysis from patients visiting our oncological clinic. We developed an analytical approach that leverages combined germline and cancer genetics knowledge to evaluate opportunities, challenges, and yield of potentially medically relevant data.
