“…48,p.2 Of the recent and fundamental academic literature that emphasises the importance of communication between the various members of a dental team specifically between other dental technicians and their engagement with dentists, 27,[49][50][51][52][53][54][55] there is no solely qualitative material concerning the communication between CDTs and other dental professionals. 30,32,37,38,41,56 This dearth of academic publications is significant given that the relationship and experiences between these three groups create and underpin service provision and best practice. In conjunction with the above three factors, this paper also draws upon the social science concept of "medical dominance", [57][58][59][60][61] to discuss the structural dominance of dentists over other dental health professionals-a perceived norm for CDTs.…”

Aim To investigate the roles and relationships of registered Clinical Dental Technicians (CDTs) in the dental team and healthcare systems, and their perspective as a professional group in the United Kingdom (UK). Methods This qualitative study was conducted following a national questionnaire survey of CDTs, 18 of whom participated in semi‐structured interviews; they were purposively sampled to represent the diversity and demography of CDTs. A topic guide, informed by the literature and survey findings, guided discussions which were recorded and transcribed verbatim. Drawing upon phenomenological and cultural relativistic theories, thematic analysis was conducted, thus enabling an “analytic story” of the lived experience to emerge. Results Clinical dental technicians expressed pride, passion and satisfaction in their work yet feel misunderstood in their role. Experiences of being accepted and incorporated into the wider dental profession are strained. Ultimately, there is a complex web of inter‐dependence between all actors—a triadic relationship—bounded by policymakers and regulators which directly impacts on best practice and the balance between collaboration and autonomy. Looking to the future, Ideal practice may involve different models of care, with examples of good practice emerging. Conclusion This paper provides a unique examination of the lived experience, feelings and relationships of CDTs. The perceptions of their role, their inter‐professional relations and the progression as a professional group must be addressed, and their potential to work collaboratively actively engaged to serve our ageing population.

“…Application of CBE is a sensitive process and is crucial for both staff and students to understand the process of competence, which defines the knowledge, and assess skills and attitudes of the students, in comparison with competency, which defines the student's behavior and reactions to different troubleshootings in clinical practice (Cowpe et al., 2010; Deogade & Naitam, 2016). Authentic evaluations in CBE, through case management in clinical settings or through a student's portfolio, that is a logbook of completed cases, ensure that the students can reach a competent level at their graduation and be ready for future higher level such as expert or proficient (Ben‐Gal, Ziv, Weiss, & Zabrovsky, 2017; Clark, Radford, & Juszczyk, 2011; Deogade & Naitam, 2016; Harris et al., 2017; Korioth, Lea, Simon, & McBride, 2016; Lynch, Singhrao, Addy, & Gilmour, 2010; Orsini, Evans, Binnie, Ledezma, & Fuentes, 2016; Shoaib et al., 2018).…”

Introduction Competency‐based education (CBE) is thought to improve the quality of dental graduates than traditional education (TE). This study compared the students' final scores in clinical training of prosthodontics using CBE versus TE. Materials and Methods This study enrolled 459 fourth‐ and fifth‐year undergraduate students. Of the participants, 231 students (143 males and 88 females) attended TE and 228 (128 males and 100 females) attended CBE. This study considered the final scores that the students achieved for their competency cases and compared it with the scores achieved during the TE process. Statistical analysis of results used the Mann–Whitney U test for nonparametric numbers. Results The mean score of the clinical examination for all students in clinical prosthodontics courses was 81.4 (maximum and minimum scores: 95.0 and 41.3, respectively). The mean scores in the traditional and competency‐based education groups were 79.9 ± 6.48 and 82.9 ± 6.87, respectively. Scores in the competency education group (mean rank = 265.08) were statistically significantly higher than in the conventional education group (mean rank = 195.38) with U = 18,336, z = −5.631, and p < .001. Conclusions The application of CBE allowed the students to achieve higher scores in prosthodontics than the TE.

“…A few surveys regarding full and partial denture teaching in Western Europe and North America appear in the literature. However, they do address solely to implant-supported overdentures (7,8,(10)(11)(12), and data regarding materials and methods are missing.…”
