Summary
Dental core trainees (DCTs) transitioning to hospital settings reported low resilience. Higher resilience correlated with lower perceived stress, suggesting resilience training could benefit well-being and patient care.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Psychology
- Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
Background:
- Resilience, the ability to 'bounce back' from life stressors, is crucial for health professionals.
- Little research exists on the resilience of dental core trainees (DCTs) during their transition to hospital environments.
- High resilience is linked to reduced anxiety and psychological distress.
Purpose of the Study:
- To assess the self-perceived resilience of dental core trainees (DCTs) in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (OMFS).
- To investigate the correlation between DCT resilience and their perceived stress levels in OMFS scenarios.
- To identify strategies that DCTs believe would enhance their resilience.
Main Methods:
- Surveys including the Brief Resilience Scale (BRS) and five clinical scenarios were distributed to DCTs in the Yorkshire and Humber region.
- Participants were asked about their perceived resilience and factors that could improve it.
- Response rates were high, particularly among DCT1s in OMFS (90%).
Main Results:
- A significant proportion of respondents (23/38) reported low levels of resilience.
- An inverse correlation was observed: higher resilience was associated with lower perceived stress from OMFS scenarios.
- DCTs indicated that literature-supported approaches would enhance their resilience.
Conclusions:
- Dental core trainees, especially in OMFS, exhibit low self-perceived resilience during their transition to hospital settings.
- Interventions focused on resilience training could positively impact DCT well-being and potentially improve patient care.
- Supporting DCTs' resilience is a viable strategy for enhancing their professional development and mental health.

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...

01:26Assessment of the Mouth
874
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
1.5K
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...

The oral cavity, or the mouth, is a complex structure in humans that plays a vital role in our day-to-day lives. Its role is not only in chewing and swallowing food; it also plays a role in speech and facial expressions.
Teeth: The teeth are the hardest structures in our bodies. Humans have two sets of teeth throughout their lifetime: deciduous (baby) teeth and permanent teeth. Each tooth consists of several parts: the crown (visible part), the root (embedded in the jaw), enamel (hard outer...

01:19Veneer
279
Veneer refers to a thin sheet of wood, typically produced to a thickness of about one-eighth of an inch or less. This material is crafted through various methods, the most common being rotary cutting. In this process, a log is mounted into a large lathe and spun against a knife edge, peeling off a continuous strip of wood as the knife penetrates deeper into the rotating log, creating a rotary-cut veneer.
Other veneering techniques include plain-slicing, quarter-slicing, and rift-slicing. These...

01:25Suctioning the Oropharyngeal Airway
655
In preparing for oropharyngeal airway suctioning, a nurse must gather all necessary equipment, including a suction unit with tubing, a prepackaged suction kit, sterile gloves, water or saline for irrigation, a water-soluble lubricant, and additional personal protective equipment (such as a gown, mask, and goggles) to control infections.
After assembling the equipment, the nurse should practice hand hygiene and don appropriate PPE according to infection control guidelines to avoid the...
