“…[3] Student self-assessment of their own knowledge and level of con dence and knowledge to complete clinical technical skills has been previously used in the eld of dentistry and oral surgery. [1][2][3][4][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] Given that the department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at Kuwait University is a fairly young one, and has commenced it's teaching activities in 2002, such a feedback from the students is a paramount importance to us to re ne our teaching goals and competencies. The response rate seen in the studies re ects the interest of the students to voluntarily assess their undergraduate OMFS teaching in preparation of their entry in the dentistry practice.…”

“…A previously introduced and validated questionnaire by Association of British Academic Oral Maxillofacial Surgeons (ABAOMS) was used to conduct the study. [7,10] The survey was distributed electronically using Google Forms (https://www.google.com/forms) to all students at Kuwait Universal via student portal network. Student were asked provide information about age, class, gender and number of extractions performed, along with 17 questions assessing various areas of the undergraduate OMFS curriculum in the clinical years.…”

“…[3,4,6,7] The Association of British Academic Oral Maxillofacial Surgeons (ABAOMS) educational committee have constructed a thorough and validated questionnaire instrument to assess the self-con dence of the dental students according to their undergraduate oral and maxillofacial surgery teaching and have been used in several countries. [7][8][9][10] The ABAOMS instrument is made of 17 questions assessing the student's con dence in performing oral surgery procedures, role of outreach in oral surgery, anatomy teaching in relation to oral surgery, and oral surgery career aspiration. [7] The Faculty of Dentistry at Kuwait University started the undergraduate Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery teaching curriculum in 2002, when the dental students started their clinical years.…”

Background:To evaluate dental students’ perceptions of the undergraduate oral and maxillofacial surgical training teaching curriculum according to a validated questionnaire originally developed by the Association of British Academic Oral Maxillofacial Surgeons (ABAOMS) to assess their self-confidence.Methods:A cross-sectional survey of all 6th-year (n=22) and 7th-year (n=21) dentistry students that was conducted Kuwait University Faculty of Dentistry between 1 and 15 May 2020. A previously implemented and validated questionnaire by ABAOMS was used in the study which is made of 17 questions assessing various areas of the undergraduate OMFS curriculum in the clinical years. The response options to the questionnaire questions were on a Likert scale. Independent sample t-tests were performed to assess the difference in responses between the two groups. Spearman’s Rho correlations were calculated to measure the strength of association between confidence in all aspects of surgical and forceps exodontia. Statistical significance was considered to be a p-value <0.05.Results:A total of 39 questionnaire were completed by the students, with a response rate of 90,90% for the sixth-year students and 90,47% of the seventh-year students. 37 respondents were female (94.9%) reflecting the majority of female students at the faculty. The majority of students expressed that they feel confident that they have enough knowledge to undertake independent practice (61%). General aspects of the questionnaire were answered favourably except for the step of surgical extraction of teeth, in which both classes reported lower level of confidence.Conclusions:This survey revealed the students’ self-confidence undertaking independent practice and preforming basic oral surgery procedures. Students felt comfortable with exodontia using forceps and elevators, root removal, managing acute pericoronitis, managing haemorrhage from a socket, assessing impacted teeth, and recognizing the clinical features of potentially malignant and malignant lesions of the oral cavity. They reported lower level of confidence for performing the steps of surgical procedures. The ABAOMS survey instrument is a useful and thorough tool to assess the self-confidence of the dental students according to their undergraduate oral and maxillofacial surgery teaching.

“…This eliminated retrospective bias, for example if some were interviewed once they had started another training position or job they might have differing thoughts. 20,21 Questionnaires were also completed at this time. Prior to attendance at the exit interview, all FDs received an email informing them of the opportunity to take part, along with an information sheet detailing the reasons for the study, it was made explicitly clear that the researcher had no link to the exit interview and what was discussed would not influence the outcome of it.…”

Aims:The aim of this service evaluation was to explore the experiences of foundation dentists (FDs) during their dental foundation year (DFT) in the field of oral surgery and surgical extractions. Methods:A phenomenological approach was taken aiming to explore the FDs' experiences through a qualitative design. All FDs in the region deemed eligible for the evaluation were invited to attend a semi-structured interview or answer a qualitative questionnaire when attending for their exit interview at the completion of DFT. The interviews were then transcribed and thematic analysis was undertaken. Results: 79 FDs took part in the evaluation, representing 86% of trainees eligible for inclusion. Findings showed that not all FDs had the opportunity to undertake surgical extractions independently during the year. Data was analysed and 4 main themes generated when evaluating FDs' experiences; specific learning encounters, influence of the educational supervisor, supportive learning environment and ready for independent practice. Conclusions: This evaluation shows that there are a number of factors associated with FDs' experience during DFT, and not all FDs are leaving the training with a positive experience, with a query as to whether they are fulfilling the aims of training to become an "independent practitioner." It poses questions about what can be done to improve future training and what exactly does DFT need to achieve in terms of experience in surgical extractions.

“…Lastly, a number of studies addressed the elaboration of the curriculum involving the teaching and learning on social networks in dental education. The greatest concern was with the educational preparation of future generations in the academic community, leading them to understand the limitations of discourse produced by social media platforms [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] .…”

ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to hence the quest for an understanding of the theoretical and empirical foundations of studies of social media within Dentistry Science. In particular, it has been sought to identify the temporal and thematic behaviors of studies concerning social media in Dentistry. Methods It involves an exploratory study of the bibliometrics and scientometrics, using a quali-quantitative approach. The universe is made up of the scientific production concerning the social media contained in articles related to the area, indexed in the Web of Science. In order to understand the objects of the studies identified, content analysis was employed. Results The results enabled us to map the profile of the temporal and thematic behavior of the studies developed, localizing the period of publication, areas of knowledge with production that is related to Dentistry Science and the issues occurring most frequently. ConclusionGiven the complexity of the topic, a more profound epistemological and pragmatic approach is envisioned for future production. Indexing terms: Bibliometric studies. Dentistry. Scientometric studies. Social media. RESUMO ObjetivoIdentificar os comportamentos temporal e temático dos estudos sobre mídia social na Odontologia. MétodosConstitui-se em estudo bibliométrico e cientométrico de caráter exploratório com abordagem quali-quantitativa. O universo é composto pela produção científica sobre mídia presente nos artigos da área, indexados na Web of Science. Para a compreensão dos objetos dos estudos identificados, utilizou-se análise de conteúdo. ResultadosOs resultados permitiram traçar perfil do comportamento temporal e temático dos estudos desenvolvidos, situando o período de publicação, áreas do conhecimento com produção correlacionadas à Odontologia e assuntos com maior ocorrência. ConclusãoDada a complexidade que a temática requer, vislumbra-se maior aprofundamento epistemológico e pragmático para futuras produções.Termos de indexação: Bibliometria. Odontologia. Cientometria. Mídia sociais.
