RESUMEN

Apresenta-se a experiência da simulação clínica realística (SCR) efetuada no Laboratório de Simulação Clínica Realística e de Realidade Virtual Aumentada da Faculdade de Odontologia da Universidade de São Paulo (inaugurado em junho de 2022). Essa metodologia contribui significativamente na formação do estudante de Odontologia em todas as áreas do conhecimento odontológico. Sua aplicação deve submeter-se a protocolos corretos construção do problema (briefing), a simulação e discussão posterior (debriefing). Este cenário constitui o presente e o futuro da realidade do ensino odontológico. De fato, sua estratégia possibilita a simulação de uma multiplicidade de situações clínicas. Para tal, impõe-se a estruturação de um ambiente específico (aqui denominado "laboratório"). Este trabalho resume os fundamentos dessa simulação e a avaliação interna de sua aplicabilidade e inequívoca eficácia na nossa Faculdade. De fato, a simulação é uma estratégia facilitadora imprescindível no processo ensino-aprendizagem da Odontologia, cujo papel nesse processo deve delinear-se cada vez mais importante, na medida em que outros centros formadores forem adotando esse recurso e forem progressivamente intercambiando suas experiências e avaliações (AU).

This report on the experience of realistic clinical simulation (RCS) is linked to the Realistic Clinical Simulation and Augmented Virtual Reality Laboratory, launched in June 2022 at the Faculty of Dentistry of the University of São Paulo (São Paulo). RCS is an active methodology that can significantly contribute to the education of dental students in all areas of dental knowledge. Its application must adhere to correct protocols for problem construction (briefing), the simulation itself, and the subsequent discussion (debriefing). This scenario represents both the present and the future of dental education. Indeed, its strategy enables the simulation of a multitude of clinical situations, for which the establishment of a specific environment (herein referred to as a "laboratory") is needed. The present work summarizes the basis of this simulation and the internal evaluation of its applicability and effectiveness. It is concluded that simulation is a facilitating strategy in the dental teaching-and-learning process. In fact, its role in this process will become increasingly important as far as other educational institutions adopt this resource and progressively exchange their experiences and assessments (AU).

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: With the COVID-19 pandemic, thousands of children had their dental care interrupted or postponed, generating a pent-up demand for primary care. To minimize the impact of this outage, information and communication technologies (ICT) could be an alternative. The aim of this study is to elucidate the impact of implementing the ICTs in primary dental care for children on resolving the pent-up demand for primary dental care to children in the national health system service (SUS) due to the COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS: Different research strategies are being proposed to demonstrate such effect and extrapolating findings to a real-world context to guide further research, practice and policies: two clinical trials (one randomized controlled by the waiting list trial (RCT) and a before-and-after study), one simulation study to prospect trial results to a broader population and three economic evaluations using different effects. Children enrolled in a reference dental unit will be invited to participate in the before-and-after study for trials. The first 368 families will be randomized for the RCT to the intervention vs waiting list. All participants will receive the intervention, but the waiting list group will be assessed before the intervention is available for them. The intervention comprises standardized non-face-to-face primary dental care using the V4H platform. The problem-solving and the family's perception will be the primary outcomes set for the before-and-after study and RCT, respectively. They will be measured 2 weeks after randomization. Based on trial findings, we will develop theoretical models to estimate how the intervention could benefit the population included in the national health system.  Three economic evaluations will be carried out considering different trial effects (cost-effectiveness analyses). A societal perspective and the pandemic time horizon will be considered. Possible social impact (inequalities) will also be explored. DISCUSSION: This ongoing trial may be an essential contribution to clarify positive and negative aspects related to the use of technologies for non-face-to-face dental care for children. Trial products may bring relevant contributions to the pandemic context and the post-pandemic period. Potential benefits may be feasible to implement and preserve in the health system even in the post-pandemic period. Trial registration Clinicaltrials.gov registration NCT04798599 (registered March 2021).

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: Dental undergraduates will access the Internet searching for learning materials to complement their training; however, open access content is not generally recommended by dental schools. This study aimed to evaluate how dental students are using online video content. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Students from eight Universities (Athens, Birmingham, Brescia, Cardiff, Melbourne, Paris, Sao Paulo and Valdivia) representing three continents were invited to complete a survey on their access and learning from online videos. RESULTS: International students behave similarly when studying dental content online. Of 515 respondents, 94.6% use the Internet as a learning tool. It was observed that videos are not frequently recommended during didactic lectures (9.6%). But many students (79.9%) will use YouTube for their learning which includes clinical procedures. Students will check online content before performing procedures for the first time (74.8%), to understand what was explained in class (65.9%) or read in books (59.5%), to relearn clinical techniques (64.7%) and to visualise rare procedures (49.8%). More than half of the students do not fully trust the accuracy or the reliability of online content. This does not prevent students from watching and sharing dental videos with classmates (64.4%). The content watched is not shared with teachers (23.3%) even when it contradicts what was learnt in the school (38.2%). CONCLUSION: This study concludes that students regularly integrate open access digital resources into learning portfolios but are hesitant to inform their teachers about their viewing habits. Students wish to receive critical skills on how to evaluate the material they encounter outside their traditional learning space.

RESUMEN

A pandemia da COVID-19 impôs ações assertivas em todos os níveis da sociedade. Aqui se relata o apoio emergencial na Resposta Rápida do Núcleo de Evidências e Análises Econômicas da Faculdade de Odontologia da Universidade de São Paulo (EvipOralHealth) para a coordenadoria estadual de saúde bucal de São Paulo, em prol da tomada de decisão e ressignificação do processo de trabalho. Foram implementadas duas estratégias de teleodontologia para a educação permanente (EP) dos trabalhadores de saúde bucal: 1. Lives com pesquisadores, estudantes, gestores e trabalhadores das diversas áreas da saúde pública e da Odontologia para estabelecer marcos teóricos; 2. Ambulatórios virtuais - via webconferência. Reuniu-se gestores e trabalhadores para a condução de diálogos de políticas sobre o dia a dia do enfrentamento e de adaptações e condições de trabalho de cada região. A experiência revela a importância da relação ensino-serviço-comunidade efetiva, pautada na tradução do conhecimento e na construção de espaços de troca possibilitando a implementação de práticas, programas e políticas. Precisamos repensar as estratégias de EP, sermos mais ágeis, mais flexíveis, menos acadêmicos e capazes de adaptar conteúdos e formatos às necessidades. A teleodontologia e a teleducação podem conferir escala e fazer chegar mais facilmente o conhecimento aos que necessitam.

RESUMEN

Aim: To compare Enterococcus faecalis reduction after antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) used with methylene blue, toluidine blue, tannin, and curcumin as photosensitizers, an adjunct to endodontic chemomechanical preparation (CMP) in root canals of human teeth. Methods: A total of 120 single-rooted teeth were divided into 6 groups (n = 20): G1- CMP and 2.5% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl); G2- CMP and saline solution; G3- CMP, 2.5% NaOCl, and aPDT with 0.005% methylene blue; G4- CMP, 2.5% NaOCl, and aPDT with 0.005% toluidine blue; G5- CMP, 2.5% NaOCl, and aPDT with 0.005% tannin; and G6- CMP, 2.5% NaOCl, and aPDT with 0.005% curcumin. A portable semiconductor laser was used (660 nm, 100 mW, 1.8 J, 180s) in groups 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and a blue LED light-curing (420-480 nm, 1200 mV/cm2 ) in G6. For all groups, a 5 min pre-irradiation time was applied. Samples were collected before (initial collection), immediately after (intermediate collection) and 7 days after CMP (final collection) for colony-forming unit (CFU) counting. The Kruskal-Wallis test and analysis of variance (ANOVA) were performed (p < 0.05; 95% confidence interval). Results: In between-group comparisons, there was no significant difference observed in the number of CFUs at the initial (p >< 0.001) and final collections (p >< 0.001) for G2 and G3. In within-group comparisons, the number of CFUs showed a decreasing trend in G4 (p = 0.007) and G5 (p = 0.001). Conclusion: Photosensitizers promoted E. faecalis reduction, with better results for tannin and curcumin. Alternative photosensitizers should be the focus of further studies.>< 0.05; 95% confidence interval).

RESUMEN

Abstract This paper describes the possibilities of using Teledentistry to expand and qualify health care in oral health care networks. WHO already recommended to its member countries, even before the pandemic, Telehealth as a strategy to improve the quality of services, especially in universal systems, as the Unified Health System (SUS). Teledentistry opens opportunities for oral health to resume the provision of various services, remotely, such as: 1) Tracking, active search, monitoring of priority users, those at risk and with systemic problems, suspicions of COVID-19 and contacts, through Telemonitation; 2) Initial listening, individual or collective educational activities, through Teleorientation; 3) Discussion of clinical cases for the definition of the opportunity / need for operative procedures, matrix support, sharing, solution of doubts among professionals and between these and teaching and research institutions, by Teleconsulting, among others. In addition to a review of Teledentistry in the context of the pandemic, we conceptualized the terms used and possibilities offered to SUS professionals, in addition to specifying the possible protocols for recording these activities to provide safe data for their monitoring and evaluation. Besides, we bring a brief discussion with promising experiences, carried out in the pre- and trans-pandemic contexts, which can be important strategies for the resumption of oral health in the post-pandemic scenario.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: The World Health Organization's World Health Assembly WHA58.28/2005 Resolution recommends the adoption of e-health by health systems of State Members. The Brazilian Telehealth Program integrates the national policy of education for health that combines many strategies with complementary foci, including technical-level workers, undergraduate students of the 14 health professions, residency, postgraduate courses, support, and continuing health education at work. The Brazilian Unified Health System has approximately 1.5 million workers. The objectives of this work areas are as follows: to define a new concept, the so-called "formative second opinion" (FSO); to describe the methodology for its construction; and to show its structure as well as the number of FSOs already available, classified according to the field of knowledge. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The Brazilian Telehealth Program was created in 2007 and has already offered around 41,000 teleconsultations. Based on their relevance and pertinence, 710 questions asked through teleconsulting by health professionals were selected. The questions were handled so that each question should not contain any specific information about patients, preserving professional confidentiality. For each question, a bibliographic review was performed and used to build a structured and standardized answer, based on the best available scientific and clinical evidence. RESULTS: This question-and-answer combination, originated thru teleconsulting, created by the Brazilian Telehealth Program, was termed the FSO and has been made available, with open access for all health professionals, at the Web site of the Program. Among the total number of 710 FSOs, diagnosis and treatment support corresponded to 238 questions (33.5%), followed by primary healthcare (90 questions) and then by subjects concerning oral health (68 questions) and nursery (39 questions). The structure and design of the FSO are also shown. CONCLUSIONS: The FSO helps professionals and health workers to use the already produced best evidence and scientific knowledge to solve their daily practice questions, improving, qualifying, and increasing the resolution of primary healthcare by the Unified Health System in Brazil. Oral health is frequently asked about by professionals, matching the high prevalence of oral disease in primary healthcare.

RESUMEN

A Universidade Aberta do SUS – UNA-SUS (www.unasus.gov.br) foi concebida pelo Ministério da Saúde do Brasil, em parceria com 18 universidades públicas e serviços estaduais e municipais de saúde, com o objetivo de oferecer capacitação e educação profissional aos trabalhadores da saúde em atividade no SUS, o Sistema Único de Saúde, que conta, hoje, com cerca de 2,5 milhões de profissionais da área. Um dos principais focos da UNA-SUS é a produção de objetos de aprendizagem (OAs) interoperacionais e reutilizáveis, segundo as demandas identificadas pelos profissionais em atividade, tanto pelos que lidam com atenção à saúde, quanto pelos que lidam com assuntos de gerenciamento. Os OAs são publicados em arquivo gratuito, aberto ao público (http://ares.unasus.gov.br/acervo/). Um assunto estratégico para a expansão e, concomitantemente, para a manutenção da qualidade do que é sustentado com recursos públicos, é o estabelecimento de padrões. Para esse fim, planejamos construir uma taxonomia capaz de definir as competências pedagógicas, técnicas e profissionais, bem como as habilidades desejáveis que se espera de um determinado OA, para que este seja interoperacional e reutilizável.

The Open University of the Unified Health System – UNA SUS (www.unasus.gov.br) was developed by the Brazilian Ministry of Health, in partnership with 18 public universities, as well as state and municipal health services, in order to provide capacity building and education for health professionals working at Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS), which has approximately 2.5 million health workers. One of its main components is the production of interoperable and reusable learning objects (LOs) according to the needs identified by the professionals at work, those who deal with healthcare, as well as management matters. The LOs are published in an archive that is open to the public and free of charge (http://ares.unasus.gov.br/acervo/). One strategic issue for expanding, and at the same time maintaining quality of what is financed by public funds, is establishing standards, and for this purpose we plan to develop a taxonomy capable of describing pedagogical, technological and professionals competencies and skills that are expected to be developed by a determined LO, in order for it to be interoperable and reusable.
