Computer-Based Instruction (CBI) has been gaining increasing popularity in the health professions and especially in dental education, but its development is seldom problem-free. This paper describes a longitudinal study of endodontic simulations for senior dental students which employ latent image, computer-assisted video interactive (CAVI), and computer text instruction (CTI). Particular attention is devoted to developmental problems, use of time and manpower, and student performance on and reaction to the pilot test. Preliminary results of the pilot testing demonstrate favorable student performance on the computer-based mode, as well as an enthusiastic acceptance of this format. Future directions and goals of the study are included.

Classic psychedelics like LSD and psilocybin are showing promising effects in treating certain psychiatric disorders. Despite their low toxicity and lack of an addictive potential, in some individuals, psychedelics can be associated with persisting psychological harms. Hallucinogen Persisting Perception Disorder (HPPD) is one of those complications, a rare disorder characterized by enduring perceptual symptoms without impaired reality control.
