Summary
Tokyo Dental College developed an e-Learning system (ELS) to boost self-study in dental education. This technology-integrated system enhances learning through unified themes and topic spaces, proving effective for students.
Area of Science:
- Dental Education Technology
- e-Learning Systems in Higher Education
Background:
- Traditional dental education faces challenges in promoting self-directed learning.
- Integrating technology is crucial for modernizing educational approaches.
Purpose of the Study:
- To report the development and status of an e-Learning system (ELS) at Tokyo Dental College.
- To enhance self-study and promote technology-integrated dental education.
Main Methods:
- Established an intramural IT environment with wireless LAN access for all new students.
- Developed an e-Learning system featuring organically integrated lectures and "unified themes" aligned with the standard syllabus.
- Incorporated "topic spaces" to support cross-sectional and problem-based learning.
Main Results:
- The e-Learning system (ELS) has been found to be effective and helpful for students.
- Positive student feedback indicates the system's value in supporting their learning process.
Conclusions:
- The developed e-Learning system represents a significant advancement in technology-integrated dental education.
- Plans are in place to expand the system's content, with ongoing refinements aimed at improving usability for both students and educators.

01:21Tooth Anatomy
The human tooth enables us to eat a variety of foods, speak clearly, and even aid in shaping our faces. Teeth are composed of various elements that work together. Here's a detailed look at the anatomy of a human tooth.
The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or grinding food.

01:15Nursing Implementation
Implementation is the execution of the nursing care plan developed during the planning phase.
The five steps to implementing effective nursing care include reassessing the patient, reviewing and revising the existing nursing care plan, organizing the resources and care delivery, anticipating and preventing complications, and implementing nursing interventions.

01:26Assessment 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.

01:15Teeth
The formation of teeth, also known as odontogenesis, is a complex process that begins in utero, around the sixth week of embryonic development. There are three stages to this process: the bud stage, the cap stage, and the bell stage.
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...

01:21Tertiary Healthcare System
Specialized care provided over an extended period is called tertiary care. Usually, a primary or secondary care physician will refer a patient to tertiary care. A patient's maximum physical and mental function is restored in tertiary care, which is caused due to the impact of a chronic illness or condition. Tertiary care aims to achieve the highest level of functioning possible while managing chronic illness. For example, a patient who falls and fractures their hip will need secondary care to...
