Teeth

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...

Area of Science:

Oral health education
Interprofessional healthcare training
Dental public health

Background:

European countries offer interprofessional training for dental and dental hygiene students.
Limited opportunities exist in the U.S. for collaborative education between dentists and dental hygienists.
Leading dental organizations emphasize the importance of teaching teamwork in dental professions.

Purpose of the Study:

To establish and evaluate an interdisciplinary team experience for graduating dental hygiene, dental assisting, and dental students.
To provide comprehensive dental care to underserved populations through interprofessional collaboration.
To address the gap in U.S. dental education regarding collaborative practice.

Main Methods:

Eastern Washington University implemented an interdisciplinary team experience from 2005 to 2010.
Graduating students from dental hygiene, dental assisting, and dental programs formed teams annually.
Teams provided dental care to underserved patient groups.

Main Results:

The program successfully established an interdisciplinary team model for dental education.
Students gained practical experience in collaborative patient care.
The initiative provided valuable dental services to underserved communities.

Conclusions:

Interdisciplinary team training is feasible and beneficial for dental and dental hygiene students in the U.S.
Such programs can enhance teamwork skills and address disparities in oral healthcare access.
The model established at Eastern Washington University serves as a potential framework for other institutions.
