Imaging Studies I: CT and MRI

772
Introduction: MRI and CT scans are crucial advancements in medical imaging techniques, playing a vital role in diagnosing conditions related to the gastrointestinal (GI) system. Each scan serves distinct purposes, targets specific areas, and requires unique nursing duties.
Description of the Procedures
Computed Tomography (CT) scan:
Computed Tomography (CT) scans use X-ray technology to generate detailed images of bones, organs, and tissues. During the scan, the patient lies on a moving table...

Assessment of the Mouth

1.1K
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.

Dental students

Area of Science:

  • Dental Education
  • Orthodontics
  • Digital Dentistry

Background:

  • Limited studies evaluate dental students' awareness of intraoral scanners (IOS).
  • Assessing knowledge gaps in digital dental technology is crucial for modern dental education.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare knowledge and awareness of intraoral scanners among 3rd, 4th, and 5th-grade dental students.
  • To evaluate the understanding of IOS applications in orthodontics across different academic levels.

Main Methods:

  • A survey was administered to 278 dental students (3rd, 4th, and 5th grades).
  • Descriptive statistics and Fisher-Freeman-Halton exact test were used for analysis.
  • Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05.

Main Results:

  • A significant majority of students across all grades reported never using an intraoral scanner (3rd: 96.81%, 4th: 89.77%, 5th: 83.33%).
  • 3rd-grade students showed higher awareness of IOS for Class II malocclusion treatment and maxillary expansion appliances.
  • 5th-grade students more frequently associated IOS with indirect bonding procedures.

Conclusions:

  • 4th and 5th-grade students demonstrated higher knowledge levels regarding intraoral scanners compared to 3rd-grade students.
  • Recommendations include expanding practical training and revising the dental curriculum for IOS integration.
