Abstract

Background: the ability to mentally manipulate 3D objects and understanding the relationships between structures is essential in many fields of medical and dental specialties. This scoping review of the literature on spatial ability in medical and dental education was conducted to provide a map of the literature and identify where gaps still exist for future research.Methods: the study was conducted using a scoping review method with guidelines from the Arksey and O'Malley framework to identify literatures related to the research topic. Searches was performed from February to May 2021 in PubMed, Cochrane, CINAHL and Google Scholar using keywords related to spatial ability, medical education and dental education. Literatures was also identified using snowballing technique. PRISMA-ScR analysis for study selection was performed.Results: fifteen articles were selected for review. Spatial ability correlates with performance in studying anatomical knowledge of medicine and dentistry, and surgery. 3D anatomical models are more effective when conveying complex spatial relationships than traditional 2D models. The Mental Rotation Test (MRT) is the most widely used test for measuring spatial abilities. The results of the measurement of spatial ability showed the superiority of males over females.Conclusion: spatial ability and learning in medical and dental education provide mutual benefits for both aspects. Additional spatial abilities module may be added to medical and dental education curricula to improve learning success

Abstract

Periodontitis is the most common condition of chronic periodontal infection and inflammation in the elderly population. Periodontal disease can cause local inflammation that contributes to higher risk of systemic inflammatory disease. Current research suggests a possible link between periodontal disease and neurodegenerative disease, such as Alzheimer’s disease. The aim of the study is to provide a profile of the periodontal tissue status in people with Alzheimer’s disease. This scoping review followed Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) guideline, and the searching was conducted using PubMed, Cochrane, and EBSCOHost databases during February 6th – February 7th, 2021 with keywords of periodontal disease, periodontitis, periodontal inflammation, Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. It also included MeSH terms of “periodontal disease” and “Alzheimer’s disease” if available. Additionally, snowballing technique was used to include more articles. The identification and writing process for this article followed the PRISMA-ScR framework. There were 60 articles included in this study. This scoping review shows a profile of general characteristics including decreased oral hygiene and periodontal tissue status showed by high score of plaque and calculus, gingival inflammation, high percentage of Clinical Attachment Loss (CAL), Bleeding on Probing (BOP) along with deterioration of cognitive function. There was a decreasing level of periodontal health along with the decline in cognitive function experienced by AD participants. However, further research is needed to see the mechanism of this relationship.
