Summary
Dental core training interviews are now virtual due to COVID-19. This paper examines the pros and cons of this online format for both dental applicants and interviewers.
Area of Science:
- Dental Education
- Medical Training
- Recruitment
Background:
- Dental core training is a competitive pathway for career advancement.
- Limited training posts necessitate strong interview performance for selection.
- The COVID-19 pandemic shifted interviews to a virtual format.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the suitability of virtual interviews for dental core training.
- To identify the strengths and weaknesses of the virtual interview process.
- To inform future interview format decisions for dental recruitment.
Main Methods:
- Analysis of virtual interview process.
- Evaluation from candidate perspectives.
- Assessment from interviewer perspectives.
Main Results:
- Key strengths and weaknesses of virtual dental interviews identified.
- Candidate and interviewer experiences documented.
- Data to support ongoing use or modification of virtual interviews.
Conclusions:
- The virtual interview format presents unique advantages and disadvantages.
- Further consideration is needed to determine the optimal format for dental core training selection.
- Recommendations for improving virtual dental interviews may be derived from this analysis.

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...

01:19Veneer
117
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...

01:20Virtual Work
923
The principle of virtual work states that if a body is in static and dynamic equilibrium, then the sum of all the virtual work done by all external forces and couple moments for any given virtual displacement must be zero.
In static equilibrium, a body can experience an imaginary or virtual movement, such as displacement or rotation. The virtual work done by a force is equal to the dot product of force and virtual displacement in the direction of the force. When it comes to virtually rotating a...

01:25Suctioning the Oropharyngeal Airway
316
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...

01:40Bone Remodeling
38.4K
Bone remodeling is a continuous and balanced process of bone resorption by osteoclasts and bone formation by osteoblasts. In adults, it helps maintain bone mass and calcium homeostasis. While mechanical stress can stimulate turnover as part of the normal maintenance and reparative process, several hormones also regulate bone remodeling.

01:30Current Trends in Nursing II
1.3K
Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...
