The purpose of this study was to gather information about Turkish general dental practitioners’ treatment approaches towards endodontic emergencies, antibiotic-prescribing habits, and their participation in lifelong learning programs. Questionnaires were given to dentists who attended the 16th National Congress organized by the Turkish Dental Association. From 1,400 questionnaires distributed, 589 (43%) were deemed usable in this study. This survey dealt with questions that were subdivided into two main topics: dental emergency treatment approaches, and antibiotic prescription and information on lifelong learning program participation. The statistical analysis was conducted with a χ2 test at a significance level of P<0.05. For irreversible pulpitis cases in vital teeth, most of the dental practitioners (65.3%) preferred single-visit root canal treatments. For teeth presenting a periapical lesion, the preferred treatment approach was root canal treatment (91.5%). The rate of prescription of analgesics and antibiotics was 21.7% in untreated acute apical periodontitis cases and 41% in acute apical abscess cases. Frequently prescribed antibiotics were amoxicillin–clavulanate (61.8%) and amoxicillin (46.5%). There was a tendency for practitioners to attend congresses as their years of professional practice increased (P<0.0001). There have been discrepancies between taught and observed practice. Educational initiatives are needed to prevent inappropriate prescription of antibiotics.

“…For example, CAL allows students to work in their own time and pace. 5 It also allows the use of sound, videos and animation to put information across. Many believe CAL can be used to support the dental curriculum to help overcome the problem of declining number of academic staff in UK dental schools.…”

2004

Background: Computer-aided learning (CAL) offers advantages over traditional methods of learning as it allows students to work in their own time and pace. The School of Dentistry at the University of Birmingham has created an electronic learning website, named the Ecourse. This is designed to be a web-based supplement to the dental undergraduate curriculum. Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the attitudes of third year dental students and members of staff about the Ecourse website. Method: A questionnaire was produced and piloted before being distributed to all 65 third year dental students to obtain their opinions about the Ecourse website. The views of Ecourse were sought from four members of staff by performing qualitative, semi-structured interviews. Results: Lecture handouts and textbooks were reported as the sources used most often, by 96% of students. Eighty-six per cent of students are accessing the Ecourse mainly at the School of Dentistry, but 53% are also accessing it at home. Students liked the multiple-choice questions, downloading extra notes and looking at pictures and animation to explain clinical procedures. The majority of the students (79%) want the Ecourse to be used as a supplement to the undergraduate programme and 7% wanted it to replace formal lectures. Staff recognised the benefits of the Ecourse but were concerned about plagiarism, the effect on lecture attendance and the lack of feedback from students on existing CAL material. Conclusion: Students consider the Ecourse as a positive method of supplementing traditional methods of learning in the dental undergraduate programme. However in contrast teaching staff expressed negative views on the use of e-learning.

“…Lo anterior implica que el Estado cae en un incumplimiento directo con la obligación de ofrecer capacitación (desarrollo profesional) a sus funcionarios e indirectamente en la de entregar una atención de calidad a los usuarios del sistema público por medio de profesionales debidamente capacitados, como es obligación en otros países para poder ejercer 6,7 . Si bien en la actualidad el acceso y las formas de capacitación se han facilitado a través de metodologías e-learning 1-3, 6-10 y el Minsal ha desarrollado programas especiales en este aspecto 10 , no se ve la inclusión (en términos de desarrollo profesional) del componente salud bucal, por lo que políticas como los GES odontológicos pierden un sentido de integralidad, lo que también se ha planteado para el Sistema Chile Crece Contigo 12 . La percepción de los cursos tomados por los DGZ a través del PAC mejora ostensiblemente, en comparación a la información y oportunidades de acceso.…”
