Assessment of the Mouth01:26

Assessment of the Mouth

A thorough mouth assessment, including inspection and palpation of the lips, gums, tongue, tonsils, uvula, and pharynx, is crucial in detecting potential health issues. Diseases ranging from oral cancer to systemic conditions like diabetes could be identified early through careful oral examination. This article provides a detailed guide on conducting a comprehensive mouth assessment.
Mouth Inspection
The inspection begins with visually examining the mouth for symmetry, color, and size.

Area of Science:

  • Dental Education
  • Prosthodontics
  • Curriculum Development

Background:

  • Traditional complete denture prosthodontic education emphasizes laboratory work with passive learning.
  • Existing curricula often focus on individual fabrication phases rather than comprehensive patient care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate an innovative, active learning curriculum for complete denture prosthodontics at the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Dentistry.
  • To compare student outcomes between the new patient-centered program and the traditional laboratory-based model.

Main Methods:

  • Implemented an active learning environment with significant clinical patient exposure for second-year dental students.
  • Statistically compared student performance in the new program versus the traditional program using overall scores and examination components (written, practical, OSCE).
  • Utilized one-way ANOVA for statistical analysis of performance data.

Main Results:

  • The new active learning program demonstrated statistically significant improvements in students' total examination scores.
  • Enhanced performance was observed across all three components of the final examination: written, practical, and objective structured clinical examination (OSCE).

Conclusions:

  • The shift towards patient-centered education and a holistic understanding of edentulous patient care yields superior educational outcomes.
  • The active learning model represents a successful and advantageous alternative to traditional preclinical complete denture prosthodontic curricula.
