Background: Following curricular revisions at the Faculty of Dentistry of the Obafemi Awolowo University, no formal evaluation of its alignment and implementation has been carried out.This study aimed to evaluate the alignment of an Oral surgery curriculum and to determine students' learning experiences and perceptions of the curriculum.
Methodology: This was a mixed-method study conducted at Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Nigeria.
Background: The psychological problems associated with facial trauma may sometimes pose additional health concerns for the injured patient. Understanding the gaps in the Oral and Maxillofacial surgeons' (OMFS) awareness of patient in need of specialist mental health intervention is important in ensuring holistic care for the trauma patient.

Does platelet-rich fibrin increase bone regeneration in mandibular third molar extraction sockets?
J Korean Assoc Oral Maxillofac Surg
December 2022
Objectives: This study determined the effect of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) on extraction socket bone regeneration and assessed the patterns and determinants of bone regeneration after the surgical extraction of impacted mandibular third molars.
Materials And Methods: This prospective study randomly allocated 90 patients into two treatment groups: A PRF group (intervention group) and a non-PRF group (control group). After surgical extractions, the PRF group had PRF placed in the extraction socket and the socket was sutured, while the socket was only sutured in the non-PRF group.
Article Synopsis
- There is a significant link between how learners perceive their education and their satisfaction and success, suggesting that a positive learning environment is crucial for better outcomes.
- This study investigates perceptions of preclinical medical education in Ife by surveying 187 students and newly qualified doctors using a validated questionnaire.
- Results indicated that while physiology received the highest ratings for learning experience, overall perceptions of the learning environment were low, highlighting a need for improvements in teaching methods and classroom conditions.
