Knowing Dental Students' Discourses on Situational Planning in Integrated Clinic: A Qualitative Study

Abstract Objective: Dentistry from the Universidade Federal de Alfenas who were enrolled in the seventh period and who took the Integrated Clinic I Discipline (ICID) in the emergency remote learning model (ERLM). Material and Methods: This is a qualitative and descriptive study. The information was collected through questionnaires applied by the Professors during the ICID. Subsequently, the professor evaluated the treatment developed in virtual form by each student regarding its logical sequence and the most appropriate treatment for each case. The results of the answers were transcribed and submitted to lexicographical textual, Descending Hierarchical Classification, and Similitude analysis in the Interface de R pour les Analyses Multidimensionnelles de Textes et de Questionnaires (IRAMUTEQ) program. Results: The students described the online situational treatment planning in five essential steps: adequacy of the oral environment, restorative need, prosthetic need, rehabilitation by prosthesis on the implant, and corrective orthodontic treatment. Conclusion: It was observed that the students who enrolled in ICID presented well-integrated planning during ERLM, despite the COVID-19 pandemic hindering these students' contact between theoretical teaching and the integrated practices in dentistry offered by the educational institution.

Evaluation of quality of life, sleep, and sleepiness in dental students during active learning and remote emergency learning

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the quality of life (QoL), quality of sleep, and sleepiness index in undergraduate dentistry students between their active learning (AL) and emergency remote learning (ERL) due to social distancing imposed during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: Information was collected using the Medical Outcomes Study 36-item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36-BR), Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS-BR), and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI-BR) questionnaires administered before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. A comparison regarding the type of education, demographic factors, academic performance, PSQI-BR, ESS-BR, and SF-36-BR between the groups was performed, considering a significance level of 0.05. Results: A total of 55 students were from AL, while 45 students were from ERL. The sample consisted of 74 women and 26 men aged 21­30 years. The academic coefficient of these students ranged from 7 to 8 points (AL= 38.2% and ERL= 57.8%). In addition, a large proportion of the students reported having no failures (AL=60% and ERL= 66.7%). Regarding QoL, the students presented a greater impairment in functional capacity (p = 0.01), followed by limitations in social aspects, general health perception, body pain, and vitality. According to the ESS-BR scores (p = 0.04), the students presented a lower quality of sleep. Conclusion: Dentistry students had the worst QoL panoramas and poor relative sleep quality before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, QoL instruments were reliable for quantifying health-related QoL in AL and ERL.

Possibilidades reabilitadores para pacientes com erosão dental: uma revisão de casos clínicos / Rehabilitation possibilities for patients with dental erosion: a clinical case review / Posibilidades rehabilitadoras para pacientes con erosión dental: revisión de casos clínicos

Objetivo: revisar na literatura as possibilidades reabilitadoras para pacientes com erosão dental. Método: screeningda literatura que seguiu os princípios do check listSANRA. A pesquisa foi realizada nas bases de dados da BVS (LILACS e BBO), Scielo, Cochrane Library e via buscador de pesquisa PubMed. Foram incluídos estudos na língua inglesa, relatos de casos clínicos disponíveis na íntegra. Foram realizadas buscas por artigos publicados até fevereiro de 2022 e sem restrição cronológica. Resultados:entre44 artigos identificados, 10 foram selecionados. A maioria dos estudos (40%) foram publicados no Brasil, seguido dos Estados Unidos (20%) e Itália (20%). As possibilidades de reabilitação identificadas foram o uso de coroas de cerâmica, laminados cerâmicos e restauração direta com resina composta. Conclusão:foi possível verificar que a reabilitação dos elementos dentários com materiais diretos (resinas compostas) ou indiretos (cerâmica ou cerômeros) tem demonstrado resultados satisfatórios,conforme os casos clínicos investigados.

Objective: to review the literature on rehabilitative possibilities for patients with dental erosion.Method: literature screening thatfollowed the principles of the SANRA check list. The search was performed in the BVS (LILACS and BBO), Scielo, Cochrane Library and PubMed databases. English language studies and clinical case reports available in full were included. Articles published until February 2022 and without chronological restriction were searched.Results: among 44 articles identified, 10 were selected. Most studies (40%) were published in Brazil, followed by the United States (20%) and Italy (20%). The rehabilitation possibilities identified were the use of ceramic crowns, ceramic laminates and direct restoration with composite resin.Conclusion: it was possible to verify that the rehabilitation of dental elements with direct materials (composite resins) or indirect (ceramics or ceromers) has shown satisfactory results, according to the clinical cases investigated.
