Teeth

528
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...

Tooth Anatomy

609
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...

Area of Science:

  • Dental Education
  • Motor Skill Acquisition
  • Cognitive Psychology

Background:

  • Clinical motor skills are crucial for dental student training.
  • Imagery is known to improve motor skills, but its use in dental education is under-researched.
  • A scoping review was conducted to map evidence and identify gaps in mental training for dental motor skills.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To broadly map the available evidence on mental training for developing motor skills in dentistry.
  • To identify knowledge gaps in the application of mental training techniques in dental education.

Main Methods:

  • A structured literature search was performed across major databases (Web of Science, Scopus, MEDLINE/PubMed).
  • Studies focusing on mental training methods for motor skill development in dentistry were included.
  • A scoping review methodology was employed.

Main Results:

  • Out of 758 screened articles, four randomized clinical trials were selected.
  • Three studies examined visual imagery, and one explored kinesthetic imagery.
  • The primary research theme identified was motor skill acquisition in dental contexts.

Conclusions:

  • Mental training demonstrates utility in enhancing motor skill acquisition for dental students.
  • Further research employing standardized mental training protocols is recommended to enhance the generalizability of findings in dentistry.
