A Qualitative Analysis of Students' Perceptions and Experiences of Stressors and Well-Being in Dentistry.

Introduction: Well-being is increasingly regarded as an integral component of a graduating dentist's professional responsibility, yet studies demonstrate significant levels of stress and poor mental health in the dental student population. The aim of this qualitative study was to explore final-year dental students' perceptions of stressors in dentistry and their experiences of managing their individual well-being and supporting the well-being of their colleagues and patients.

Impact of Clinical Video Scenarios Used for a Summative Exam to Facilitate Learning.

Introduction: This article explores the use of clinical vicarious learning dialogue videos as a learning resource for a written summative assessment.

The videos captured the learning dialogue between a teacher and student during diagnosis, problem-solving or clinical decision-making in relation to prosthodontic patient interactions.
