Enhancing the effectiveness of interprofessional education in health science education: a state-of-the-art review.

Background: In order to foster effective collaboration and improve healthcare outcomes, students from multiple health professions engage in interprofessional education (IPE), learning together and from each other. Existing literature explores the effectiveness of IPE within health sciences but presents varied findings. The purpose of this study is to The effectiveness of IPE is defined as the four levels of training evaluation delineated by Kirkpatrick: reaction, learning, behavior, and results.

[Postoperative risk of bleeding after removal of third molars in healthy patients - a prospective observational clinical study].

Removal of third molars in healthy patients is considered a procedure with a low risk of bleeding. However, exactly how low the incidence of postoperative bleeding is remains unclear due to the heterogeneity of available studies. To determine the exact postoperative risk of bleeding after the removal of third molars in healthy patients, a prospective observational multicentre study was conducted.

[Dental aspects of Marfan syndrome].

Marfan syndrome is characterized by several (severe) medical disorders, the most important of which is aortic dilatation. Treatment of these disorders has consequences for oral care, in particular with regard to endocarditis prophylaxis and the use of anticoagulation. Furthermore, several orofacial anomalies of Marfan syndrome relevant to dental care are described in the literature.

[Using the new clinical guidelines on antithrombotics in the dental practice].

A 64-year-old man has deep caries in tooth 37 without acute pain; extraction is indicated, however. According to his list of medications, he takes the antithrombotics apixaban and clopidogrel. Or: a 78-year-old woman has upper and lower dentures that don't function well, and she experiences retention problems.

[Antithrombotics: backgrounds with haemostasis and antithrombotic therapy].

The clinical guidelines on antithrombotics, published by the Dutch Institute of Expertise for Oral Healthcare, give advice on policy to be followed in cases of dental procedures involving bleeding. The guidelines allow room for professional assessment of bleeding risks, for which background knowledge about haemostasis, thrombosis and antithrombotic processes is necessary. Normal haemostasis can be divided in several steps: vasoconstriction, primary haemostasis by aggregation of thrombocytes, and secondary haemostasis by the formation of fibrin out of coagulation factors.
