Asynchronous teledentistry program in two long-term care facilities: Iowa's virtual dental home pilot project.

Introduction: Older adults living in long-term care facilities (LTCFs) often have poor oral health and difficulty accessing dental services. The aim was to implement a virtual dental home (VDH) program for residents in two LTCFs utilizing asynchronous teledentistry techniques and mobile dental equipment.

Methods: This pilot project was a 6-month longitudinal cohort study in two LTCFs.

Impact of dental school critical thinking demonstrations carryover to practice: Survey of 5-year graduates.

Introduction: Little literature exists on graduates' application to practice for explicit critical thinking skills learned in dental school.

Purposes: Discern the (1) degree to which graduates apply explicit critical thinking skillsets in practice; (2) degree of adaptation of critical thinking skillsets to practice; (3) frequency of use for critical thinking skillsets in practice; and (4) perceptions to improve critical thinking learning guidance in dental school.

Methods: Five critical thinking exercises/skillsets were selected that had been in place over 5 years with at least one paper: geriatrics, treatment planning, technology decision making, ethics, evidence-based dentistry; each followed concepts from an emulation model in critical thinking.

"HIV has taught us that you can survive anything": findings from auto-ethnographic video diaries exploring resilience among people living with HIV during the Covid pandemic in five countries.
