A new route for dental graduates
1Faculty of General Dental Practice, UK.
Abstract:
The two dental faculties believe that the new examination will provide a modern, fit-for-purpose, innovative assessment for today's young dentist. The introduction of a workplace-based portfolio removes the reliance on traditional tests of knowledge and, together with the OSCE elements, allows for triangulation of methods to test the areas set out in the GPT Curriculum. Furthermore, the faculties hope that the evaluation of workplace-based experience, and decreased reliance on traditional examination methods, will also have greater meaning for young dental graduates.

Additional Routes of Drug Administration
Administering drugs via inhalation allows for the direct delivery of gaseous, volatile substances or droplets to different parts of the respiratory tract. One of the advantages of the inhalation route is the rapid absorption of drugs into the circulatory system, which is possible because of the large surface area of...
Routes of Drug Administration: Enteral
Enteral administration involves drug administration via the mouth in two ways: orally or sublingually.
Unlike sublingually drugs, drugs that are taken orally pass through the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and get metabolized by the liver. Once metabolized, the drug is absorbed into the systemic circulation, reaching different body parts via the bloodstream. However, while passing through the stomach,...
Routes of Drug Administration: Overview
Enteral administration refers to drugs absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract. They can be swallowed (perorally), placed under the tongue (sublingually), or on the inner lining of the cheeks (buccally). Perorally administered drugs take time to be absorbed and have a slower onset of action. The rectal route is another form of enteral administration, which allows for...
Teeth
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin and...
