Summary
Dental education curricula need regular updates. This paper introduces an evidence-based model for curriculum development, using environmental sustainability integration as a practical example for educators.
Area of Science:
- Dental Education
- Curriculum Development
- Public Health
Background:
- Oral health professional curricula demand ongoing adaptation to societal needs.
- The dental education literature infrequently addresses practical strategies for updating existing curricula.
- Educators require guidance for implementing curriculum changes within their institutions.
Purpose of the Study:
- To present an evidence-based model for curriculum development in oral health professions.
- To provide practical insights through a case study on integrating environmental sustainability (ES) into dental curricula.
Main Methods:
- The study proposes a novel curriculum development model.
- The model's application is demonstrated via a case study focusing on environmental sustainability.
- This approach validates the model using real-world educational scenarios.
Main Results:
- The paper offers a structured approach to curriculum evolution.
- The environmental sustainability case study provides actionable steps for educators.
- The model facilitates the incorporation of emerging topics into dental education.
Conclusions:
- The presented model offers a practical framework for enhancing oral health professional education.
- Integrating topics like environmental sustainability is feasible and beneficial.
- Continuous curriculum development is essential for aligning dental education with population needs and emerging global challenges.

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...

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.

As the construction industry moves towards more eco-friendly practices, concrete's adaptability and its ability to incorporate sustainable features make it a key material in the drive towards greener building solutions.
There are multiple approaches to achieve sustainability in a commercial concrete building. For instance, construct a concrete parking area under the building, utilizing pervious concrete paver blocks in open areas to facilitate rainwater collection through an underground...

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...
