Pandemia de COVID-19. Uso de equipos de protección personal y ergonomía en odontología / COVID-19 pandemic. Use of personal protective equipment and ergonomics in dentistry

La pandemia de COVID-19 obligó a la odontología a in- corporar nuevos protocolos de atención clínica para evitar la contaminación y la transmisión viral en la cotidianeidad de la práctica profesional. De entre ellos, resulta de particular interés considerar la utilización de equipos de protección per sonal, sobre todo, en prácticas que requieren de tiempos de trabajo prolongados y extrema precisión (AU))

The COVID-19 pandemic forced dentistry to incorpo- rate new clinical care protocols to avoid contamination and viral transmission in daily professional practice. In par- ticular the use of personal protective equipment, especially in practices that require long working times and extreme precision (AU)

Profesionales de odontología y la COVID-19: resultado de una encuesta / Dental professionels and the COVID-19: results from a survey

A partir de una propuesta del Comité de Investigaciones del Ateneo Argentino de Odontología se realizó una encuesta anónima transversal para conocer el estado de los odontólogos en relación con la infección provocada por la covid-19 ya que los afecta de una manera especial debido a las características del virus SARS-CoV-2 y su forma de trasmisión (AU)

From a proposal of the Research Committee of the Argentine Athenaeum of Dentistry, an anonymous cross-sectional survey was conducted to know the status of dentists in relation to the infection caused by covid-19 and that particularly affects dentists due to the characteristics of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and its form of transmission (AU)

Análisis de diferentes protocolos cefalométricos laterales, parte I: protocolo / analysis of different lateral cephalometric protocols, part I: protocol

Esta presentación se centra en la aplicación de la cefalometría en la práctica clínica de la ortodoncia. Su objetivo es relacionar el protocolo utilizado en el Ateneo Argentino de Odontología (AAO) con los cefalogramas laterales diseñados por los Dres. Arne Björk, Joseph Jarabak, James McNamara y Robert Ricketts y proponer las visiones complementarias en la búsqueda de un diagnóstico y un plan de tratamiento de mayor precisión. Para cumplir con este objetivo, el presente trabajo será dividido en dos partes, a saber: "Parte I: Protocolo del AAO" y "Parte II Consideraciones sobre la aplicación de diferentes protocolos cefalométricos laterales en relación al del AAO" (AU)

This paper focuses on the application of cephalometry in the clinical practice of Orthodontics. Its objective is to link the protocol used in the Ateneo Argentino de Odontología (AAO) with the lateral cephalograms designed by Drs. Arne Bjork, Joseph Jarabak, James McNamara and Robert Ricketts and propose complementary visions in the search for a more accurate diagnosis and treatment plan. In order to fulfil this objective, this work will be divided into two parts, namely: Part I: AAO Protocol and Part II Considerations on the application of different lateral cephalometric protocols in relation to that of the AAO (AU)

Association of Canadian Faculties of Dentistry Educational Framework for the Development of Competency in Dental Programs.

The Association of Canadian Faculties of Dentistry (ACFD) recently developed a proposal that reflects its evolving understanding of competency-based dental education. The ACFD proposal was developed into an Educational Framework for the Development of Competency in Dental Programs and has been adopted by all ten Canadian dental schools as the basis for their ongoing curriculum development and assessment. This framework identifies five global competencies that provide a big picture of the complex skills, knowledge, and behaviors that dental graduates must demonstrate. Detail for clarification and illustration is provided by more comprehensive "components" of each area that elaborate on the global statement and by a new dimension that assists with assessment: "indicators" of the specific knowledge, skills, and behaviors that can be measured as steps towards developing competence. In the information supporting understanding and assessment of the five key areas are both the existing national competency statements to facilitate the use of the framework by other stakeholders and a parallel set of knowledge, skills, and abilities statements developed by the National Dental Examining Board of Canada (NDEB) as the starting point for updating its examination blueprints. This article outlines the development, structure, and contents of the ACFD Educational Framework in the hope that it can serve as the foundation for a new Canadian national competencies document serving all national stakeholders.

Prevención de osteonecrosis asociada a medicamentos y ensayo clínico multicéntrico, Facultad de Odontología, Universidad de Buenos Aires / Prevention of drug-related osteonecrosis and multicentric clinical trial, School of Dentistry, University of Buenos Aires

La osteonecrosis asociada a medicamentos (ONAM) es un efecto adverso poco frecuente pero potencialmente serio que afecta a pacientes que reciben o recibieron tratamiento con drogas antirresortivas o antiangiogénicas. A partir de una revisión narrativa de la literatura, el presente artículo aporta conceptos básicos e información actualizada acerca de incidencia, factores de riesgo y prevención de ONAM desde la perspectiva de la Práctica Basada en la Evidencia. Además pone en conocimiento a la comunidad profesional de la Facultad de Odontología de la Universidad de Buenos Aires acerca de las actividades de investigación clínica llevadas a cabo en este área en la Cátedra de Cirugía y Traumatología Buco-Máxilo-Facial I de nuestra casa de estudios (AU)

Medicine related osteonecrosis of the jaws (MRONJ) is a rare but potentially serious side effect experienced by patients receiving treatment with antiresorptive or antiangiogenic drugs. Through a narrative review of the literature, this paper provides basic concepts and updated data about incidence, risk factors and prevention of MRONJ from the Evidence Based Practice perspective. It also informs the professional community of the School of Dentistry of the University of Buenos Aires about the clinical research activities carried out in this area in the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery I Department (AU)

What do dental codes of ethics and conduct suggest about attitudes to raising concerns and self-regulation?

Background The ability of the dental profession to self-regulate and address poor performance or impairment is crucial if practitioners are to demonstrate a public commitment to patient safety. Failure of the profession to actively engage in this activity is likely to call into question trustworthiness and ability to place the interests of patients and the public first.Aim To investigate attitudes towards self-regulation and the raising of concerns as expressed through the ethical codes of different dental professional and regulatory organisations.Method A qualitative review of professional codes of ethics written and published by dental associations and regulatory bodies using thematic analysis to discern common attitudes and perspectives on self-regulation.Results Four main themes were identified; (1) explicit expression of the need to report; (2) warning against frivolous reporting; (3) acceptance of reporting being difficult and; (4) threshold requiring a professional to report. From these themes, common and differing attitudes were then explored.Conclusions This review shows that often codes of ethics and practice do discuss an obligation to self-regulate and raise concerns but that this is accompanied by an anxiety surrounding unsubstantiated or malicious reporting. This gives the collective guidance a defensive tone and message that may be unhelpful in promoting a culture of openness and candour.
