“…Due to both economic and patient demand, the preferred fabrication method of dental restorations is expected to continue its shift towards computer-aided design/computeraided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) [3,4] CAD/CAM restorations offer the potential for single visit treatment, low cost, high accuracy, high strength, and esthetics, qualities that are difficult to achieve through traditional methods [5][6][7][8][9]. Until recently, CAD/CAM innovation has been mostly embraced by private dental clinicians while dental education had been relatively slow to adapt [10]. With emerging evidence of the accuracy, predictability, and efficiency of digitally designed and fabricated restorations there has been an increase in the number of US dental schools (over 65%) that have implemented CAD/CAM technologies into the curriculum [11].…”

A comprehensive CAD/CAM dentistry curriculum that includes broad aspects of single tooth restoration has been implemented at the University of Illinois College of Dentistry (COD) since 2010. The purpose of the program is to promote an educational environment that utilizes current technology to enhance the quality and efficiency of single-tooth dental treatment offered to patients, while also preparing graduating students to apply recent and future clinical advances. This article describes the history, organization, rationale, and objectives of the tooth-supported restorative aspects of our comprehensive pre-clinical and clinical CAD/CAM curriculum and presents the educational and clinical outcomes of this program.

“…These interventions were performed by using a telephone or online appointment system, teledentistry, implementation of virtual teaching, phone or online screening of patients, and installation of PACS. Previous studies have demonstrated that teledentistry ( 26 , 27 ), virtual teaching ( 28 – 30 ), and PACS software ( 31 ) reduced the prevalence of COVID-19 among dental schools through the reduction of contact between individuals.…”

Background: Coronavirus Diesease-2019 (COVID-19) outbreak has led to the suspension of the activities of dental schools. Therefore, reorganizing clinical settings and supporting services as quickly as possible has received much attention to reopen dental schools. The present study aimed to evaluate the applicability of the Intervention Mapping (IM) approach for designing, implementing, and evaluating an intervention program to prevent and control COVID-19 in dental schools.Methods: Following the IM protocol, six steps were completed in the planning and development of an intervention, targeting, and management of Dental School during the COVID-19 pandemic.Results: The information obtained from the needs assessment revealed that the COVID-19 outbreak prevention was associated with the use of personal protective equipment by all target groups, infection control measures taken in the environment, preparation of the environment and equipment, changes in the treatment plan according to the COVID-19 pandemic, changing the admission process of patients, and reduction of attendance of target groups in the school are linked with. In this study, determinant factors affecting the COVID-19 prevention at the individual level were identified based on the Protection Motivation Theory (PMT). In this program, various methods, such as presentation of information, modeling role, and persuasion measures, were utilized and the practical programs included educational films and group discussions implemented.Conclusions: Our findings indicated that intervention in dental environments on the basis of the IM process can develop a comprehensive and structured program in the dental school and hence can reduce the risk of the COVID-19 infection.
