Little is known about self-directed and self-reflective assessment in preclinical dental curricula. The aim of this study was to evaluate a visual dental anatomy teaching tool to train dental students to self-assess their dental anatomy wax carving practical examinations. The students self-assessed two waxing practical examinations (tooth #8 and tooth #19) using high-quality digital images in an assessment tool incorporated into a digital testing program.

Methods: A series of 10 repetitive, mildly noxious, mechanical stimuli were applied to the fingers of 30 women with TMD, who had a primary diagnosis of masticatory myofascial pain, and 30 age-matched healthy women. The subjects rated the pain intensity caused by the 1st, 5th, and 10th stimuli in the series.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigated differences in pain responses to repeated mechanical stimuli between women and men with temporomandibular disorders (TMD) and male controls.
- Results showed that women with TMD experienced a significant increase in pain ratings with repetitive stimuli, while men with TMD and healthy male controls did not.
- The findings suggest that women with TMD may have heightened central pain processing compared to their male counterparts.
