Abstract

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has caused series of lockdown in Malaysia which led to the significant financial impact to dental practitioner in Malaysia. Objectives: The aim of this study is to investigate factors affecting dental practice and its implication to financial situation during the pandemic in Malaysia. Methods: Registered Malaysian dental practitioners were invited to participate in online questionnaire via google form. Descriptive and Pearson’s chi-square test analysis were conducted (p<0.05). Results: 468 of dental practitioners had responded to our survey. More than three-quarter of dental practitioners worked in government sectors while almost a quarter worked in private sectors. 49.2% of respondents opened for emergency cases only during movement control order (MCO), 42.1 % of them limit for dental emergency, appointment-based cases and non-aerosol generated procedure during Conditional MCO and 62.5% operated as usual following a strict standard operating procedure during Recovery MCO. More than three quarter of private dental practitioners indicated that pandemic affected their daily monetary income (p<0.001) while most of them had to spend other source of income (p=0.004). All working sectors dictated that the working volume and number of patients had statistically decrease (p<0.05). Conclusion: COVID-19 pandemic had an impact on the practice of dentistry and financial position especially for private dental practitioners. Major government assistance is important to reduce the burden of dental practitioner and preserving their future practice.

Abstract

Mental illness is a psychological impairment involving emotions, cognitions, and behaviors, and its prevalence is increasing worldwide. Dental students may encounter patients with underlying psychological problems during their training. Objective: To evaluate dental students’ perception, attitude, and willingness to interact with patients with mental illness. Methods: A multi-center cross-sectional study was conducted involving undergraduates at three dental institutions in Malaysia using an online self-administered questionnaire. Descriptive data analysis was conducted and statistical analysis using chi-square test was done for associations (p < 0.05). Results: The response rate was 63% (225); the majority of respondents were female (77.8%) and of Malay ethnicity (88.4%). Our study found that positive attitudes are independent of respondents’ sociodemographic profiles. No significant differences in attitudes were portrayed by gender, race, or history of mental illness. Our findings suggest that respondents’ place of study, gender, and previous encounter with mental illness are associated with willingness to interact with patients (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Dental students displayed positive attitudes and willingness to interact with patients with mental illness. However, to further improve students’ attitudes and enhance their readiness to interact with patients with mental illness, more mental health-related educational programs should be introduced in the dental curricula.

Abstract

The potential for Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) in clinical dentistry remains vague and inadequately explored. Objectives: The study aims to obtain insight into the development of MOOCs in Fixed Partial Dental Prostheses (FPDPs) and to assess students’ learning preferences, module quality, and interface usability. Methods: The MOOCs was created by seven academicians with prosthodontic backgrounds. After completing the MOOCs and three complementary online discussion sessions, the students (n = 89) were invited to participate in an online survey. SPSS version 23 was used to calculate the frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation of categorical data (SD). Results: A total of 84.1% of students completed the survey. Six modules with five different FPDPs topics and a single implant topic were created for this MOOCs, which consists teaching and practical modules. 94.6% of respondents agreed that MOOCs can be used to supplement traditional T&L, with 64.9% preferring MOOCs to traditional classrooms. The majority of the items received a high mean score above 4.00, indicating that the majority of respondents were satisfied with the developed MOOC’s course content, usability, and interface. Conclusion: The majority of respondents agreed that the overall course content is well-organized and expressed positive feedback on integrating MOOCs into traditional classrooms.

Abstract

Objectives: This study evaluates the scientific outcomes of endocrown research in terms of publication patterns, prominent publishing authors and countries, highly cited articles, and high-impact keywords using bibliometric analysis. Methods: A search was conducted in the Elsevier Scopus database for articles related to endocrowns using the query TS = “endocrown” OR “endo-crown” OR “endo crown*”. Analysis and visualization of the relevant literature and their publication data were performed using MS Excel, VOSviewer, and Biblioshiny. Results: Endocrown research has shown a steady annual growth of 15.23% since 1999, indicating a growing interest and focus in this area. Brazil was ranked among the top contributors, followed by Switzerland. The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry and Operative Dentistry was found to be the leading publisher of endocrown-related articles, while the Journal Dental Materials accumulated a significant number of citations despite a smaller number of published articles, indicating a high impact per publication. Major core research areas identified in endocrown research include the development of new materials with the incorporation of finite element analysis (FEA) and computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology. Finally, endocrown-related emerging keywords include “ceramic” with the highest annual normalized citation (ANC = 1.84), followed by “crown” (ANC = 1.40) and “lithium disilicate” (ANC = 131). Conclusions: The consistent annual growth of endocrown-related publications reflects rising interest in endocrown as a viable treatment option for endodontically treated teeth. It is expected that future research will prioritise exploring new materials and advancements in technology like CAD/CAM, along with incorporating FEA studies.
