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...

Area of Science:

Health Professions Education
Health Equity
Workforce Diversity

Background:

Racial/ethnic minority underrepresentation in U.S. health professions contributes to health disparities.
Non-White providers often serve uninsured and underserved populations.
Pathway/pipeline programs are utilized to increase minority representation in health careers.

Purpose of the Study:

To examine dental pathway programs.
To identify best practices for increasing enrollment of historically underrepresented minority (HURM) students in dental school.
To facilitate successful entry of HURM graduates into the dental workforce.

Main Methods:

Literature review of academic research on dental pathway programs.
Analysis of program components and outcomes.
Identification of effective strategies for student recruitment, support, and retention.

Main Results:

Pathway programs effectively stimulate interest in health careers among HURM students.
Academic support, mentoring, and enrichment experiences are crucial for success.
Programs facilitate admission to dental school and entry into the dental workforce.

Conclusions:

Dental pathway programs are vital for addressing workforce diversity.
Implementing identified best practices can enhance program effectiveness.
Increased HURM representation in dentistry can improve health equity.
