AI Article Synopsis
- Edentulism is a key indicator of population oral health, impacting the choice of dental restorations due to factors like alveolar bone and adjacent teeth.
- A study evaluated the survival rates of implants placed by undergraduate dental students, analyzing data from 79 patients out of 86,000 who visited Saveetha Dental College.
- Results showed a high implant survival rate of 92.4%, with no significant links to age or gender affecting this outcome.
Article Abstract
Edentulism (partial or complete) is considered a major indicator of the oral health of a population. In partially edentulous patients the alveolar bone, adjacent teeth, and supporting structures influence the choice of prosthetic restoration. Dental implants are becoming a very viable option for rehabilitation. While many studies report the success of rehabilitations using implants, there is limited literature regarding survival of implants in the concerned district taken for study. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the survival rates of implants and prosthesis placed by undergraduate students in a dental hospital. The study was a University/Hospital based retrospective study, and included patients visiting the dental hospital. Out of 86,000 patients who visited Saveetha Dental College, a total of 79 patients were included in the study as per the inclusion criteria of patients who had undergone implant therapy done by undergraduate students. Age, gender, presence of inflammation, infection, bone loss, and mobility were evaluated and tabulated in MS Excel. The data collected was imported to IBM SPSS for analysis and results were obtained. A majority of patients (92.4%) were found to have optimum survival rate of implants placed. No significant association was found between implant survival and age (p > 0.05) and gender (p > 0.05). Within the limits of the study, it was found that implants have a high survival rate but survival is not influenced by age and gender.

Purpose: This study explores uses of artificial intelligence (AI) in health professions education for non-psychomotor skills training at undergraduate, postgraduate, and continuing health professions education levels for education program development, delivery, and evaluation.
Method: This scoping review was conducted in 5 stages: (1) planning and research, (2) search strategy, (3) screening and selection, (4) review and recording data, and (5) synthesis. Seven bibliographic databases were searched using the main search terms artificial intelligence and continuing health professional education for articles that used AI for the purposes of non-psychomotor skills training for health professions education and involved health care professionals and/or trainees.

Background: Fostering a strong professional identity (PI) enhances career fulfillment. In China, therapy education is undergoing development, integrating both Western and traditional health concepts, causing inconsistent PI among therapy students. To date, no validated tools exist to measure and monitor PI of Chinese therapy students.

Int J Med Educ
January 2025
Department of Medicine, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, USA.
Objectives: We aimed to determine if shared decision-making (SDM) self-assessment of a standardized patient (SP) scenario was reliable, specifically whether students' communication resulted in each SP-student pair reporting internally consistent final treatment choices. We hypothesized student self-assessment would differ from SP and faculty assessment indicating a need for multisource feedback.
Methods: In this observational case study from 2016-2017, all third-year post-clerkship medical students received evidence-based treatment options for sinusitis and SDM lectures followed by a SP encounter on sinusitis.

Background: Obsessive-compulsive disorder is recognized by the World Health Organization as one of the top 10 most disabling disorders globally. Characterized by recurrent and persistent thoughts (obsessions) and/or repetitive behaviors (compulsions), it significantly disrupts an individual's daily life, impacting routine, education, career development, and social relationships. The disorder's prevalence varies worldwide, with studies in Saudi Arabia showing a higher rate of obsessive-compulsive symptoms among medical students.
