"Special needs patients (SNP) have diffculty accessing dental services, partly due to reluctance of dentists to treat them. Objective: We assess didactic and clinical training experiences of fnal-year dental students and new graduates in managing SNP. Methods: An online questionnaire was sent to 123 fnal year dental students and new graduates, assessing their experiences and readiness in handling SNP. Results: Majority of the respondents were not confdent in attending to SNP. Majority gained knowledge in handling SNP via lectures while more than half had managed patients with complex medical history. Majority mentioned a lack of clinical training to treat SNP as their dental training experience had only been in a dental school clinical setting. Most of the respondents hope their curriculum would include more education to improve clinical skills in managing SNP. Conclusion: Respondents demonstrated minimum training and lack of confdence and skills that might contribute to a lack of preparedness to manage the oral health care needs of SNP. Clinical exposure in managing SNP at the undergraduate level is still inadequate and it needs to be emphasized in the curriculum."

Jumlah populasi individu berkebutuhan khusus di Indonesia semakin meningkat seiring dengan waktu. Individu berkebutuhan khusus (IBK) dapat memiliki berbagai keterbatasan seperti keterbatasan dalam kemampuan intelektual dan fisik, gangguan kondisi jiwa, dan juga masalah medis yang kompleks sehingga membuat populasi ini semakin rentan mengalami gangguan kesehatan mulut dan membutuhkan akses serta pelayanan perawatan kesehatan gigi dan mulut. Dokter gigi Indonesia yang memiliki spesialisasi dan kemampuan di bidang perawatan gigi dan mulut IBK masih langka sehingga besar kemungkinan bahwa perawatan gigi dan mulut pasien IBK dilakukan oleh dokter gigi umum atau spesialis. Namun sampai saat ini, tidak ditemukan data mengenai pelayanan kedokteran gigi bagi IBK oleh dokter gigi Indonesia dan bagaimana pengetahuan dan persepsi dokter gigi Indonesia dalam melakukan special needs dentistry/special care dentistry (SND/SCD). Studi ini merupakan penelitian dengan desain potong lintang dan deskriptif analitik menggunakan kuesioner yang telah diadaptasi lintas budaya ke dalam Bahasa Indonesia. Hasil uji reliabilitas dan validitas kuesioner ini adalah baik (acceptable). Sebanyak 250 responden yang merupakan dokter gigi dan dokter gigi spesialis berpartisipasi dalam penelitian ini. Hanya 26,4% responden yang memiliki persepsi yang baik mengenai SND/SCD dan mayoritas (70%) responden tidak melakukan SND/SCD. Meskipun demikian, persepsi responden terhadap pasien SND/SCD pada penelitian ini dominan positif kecuali pada kelompok pasien penyakit menular. Persepsi responden juga dominan nyaman, kecuali pada kelompok pasien dengan penyakit menular dan masalah psikologis atau perilaku. Tidak terdapat hubungan antara persepsi SND/SCD dengan karakteristik demografi, namun terdapat hubungan yang bermakna secara statistik antara komponen SND/SCD dalam pendidikan dokter gigi dengan persepsi dan kemampuan dalam SND/SCD. Selain itu, terdapat perbedaan perasaan dan kenyamanan terhadap perawatan pasien SND/SCD antara dokter gigi umum dan dokter gigi spesialis. Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa persepsi mengenai SND/SCD pada responden dokter gigi DKI Jakarta belum baik namun responden cenderung memiliki persepsi yang positif dan nyaman kepada pasien SND/SCD.

Population of special needs individuals in Indonesia is steadily increasing. Special needs individuals may have various disabilities such as physical and intelectual disabilities, mental health and complex medical problems which made this population more prone to oral health problems and requires access to oral health care services. Indonesian dentists who have specialization and ability in special needs dentistry/special care dentistry (SND/SCD) are rare thus there is a high chance that general dentists or other specialist dentists perform the oral health care to special needs individuals. Currently, data on SND/SCD in Indonesia and Indonesian dentists’ knowledge and perception towards SND/SCD are lacking. This study was a cross-sectional and analytical descriptive study using a questionnaire which has been cross-adapted into Indonesian language. Reliability and validity tests were performed and yielded accetable scores. A total of 250 respondents which consisted of dentists and specialist dentists participated in this study. This study found that only 26.4% respondents had good perception in SND/SCD and 70% of respondents did not practice SND/SCD. Nevertheless, respondents’ perception towards groups of special needs patients were mostly positive except on the group of patients with infectious disease and respondents were mostly comfortable in treating special needs patients except in group of patients with infectious disease and psychological or behavioral problems. There was no correlation between SND/SCD perception and demographical characteristics. However, there were statistically significant correlations between SND/SCD component in undergraduate dental training with the perception and ability in SND/SCD. Moreover, there were significant correlations between dentists and specialist dentists towards treatment in special needs patients. In conclusion, the respondents in this study had poor perception in SND/SCD although there were tendecies of positive and comfortable perception towards special needs patients.

Background: Learning environment has been known to influence students' success. The correlation between perception of the learning environment and dental graduate’s preparedness for practice is still unknown. Assessing the correlation between perception of the learning environment and dental graduate’s preparedness for practice can be the basis for making efforts to improve the learning environment to support graduates' preparedness for practice.

Objective: This study aims to identify the correlation between learning environment and preparedness for practice.

Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at Faculty of Dentistry, Syiah Kuala University. This research involved 101 dental graduates from 2022 to 2023. Data were collected using the Dundee Ready Educational Environment Measure (DREEM) and a modified Graduate Assessment Preparedness of Practice (GAPP) instrument. Pearson's correlation test was used to determine the correlation between the two aspects and to assess the strength of correlation of each domain.

Results: Data analysis shows the average score of DREEM of all respondents is 147.9/200, which means more positive than negative learning environment available. The average GAPP score is 201.2/238, so respondents have a high-level perception of preparedness for practice. Dental graduates have high-level perception on preparedness for practice in almost all areas including in the clinical area, communication, professionalism, and management also in leadership. There is a significant relationship between perceptions of the learning environment and dental graduate's preparedness for practice. A positive learning environment plays a role in increasing student motivation and engagement in learning as well as student academic achievement.

Conclusion: Learning environment correlates with dental graduate's preparedness for practice. "

"Kasus implan sederhana dalam bidang kedokteran gigi umum. Implan kedokteran gigi telah menjadi bidang yang berkembang cepat dan dinamis dalam praktek sehari-hari. Hal ini diakui sebagai modalitas perawatan yang dapat diprediksi dengan tingkat keberhasilan klinis yang tinggi. Gigi tiruan cekat konvensional tidak lagi dianggap sebagai pilihan perawatan utama untuk menggantikan gigi yang hilang. Meskipun jumlah pasien yang meminta perawatan implan meningkat, namun dokter gigi yang menawarkan perawatan implan dalam praktek sehari-hari masih terbatas. International Team for Implantology (ITI) atau tim implantologi internasional mendeskripsikan kasus straightforward segai kasus sederhana. Dinyatakan bahwa penempatan implan dilakukan pada jaringan lunak dan keras yang memadai, dan restorasi gigi tunggal di zona non-estetika. Tinjauan pustaka saat ini banyak membahas tentang penerapan implan kedokteran gigi di perguruan tinggi seluruh dunia dan dimasukkan ke dalam kurikulum mereka untuk program sarjana maupun pascasarjana dalam bidang kedokteran gigi umum. Konsensus Eropa tentang pendidikan implan kedokteran gigi menyimpulkan bahwa sebaiknya pendidikan teknik bedah untuk penempatan implan kasus straightforward disertakan ke dalam kurikulum. Berbagai tingkat dan keterbatasan implan kedokteran gigi dan keterampilan terkait harus diajarkan dan ditentukan oleh para staf pengajar. Malah ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kesadaran para praktisi kedokteran gigi dan lembaga terkait di Indonesia terhadap pergeseran paradigma perawatan dalam penatalaksanaan kehilangan gigi. Dengan demikian para praktisi akan dapat menyertakan implan kedokteran gigi dalam perencanaan dan perawatan pasien.

Dental implant has become a fast developing and dynamic field in dental practice. It is acknowledged as a predictible treatment modality with high clinical success rates. Conventional fixed prostheses are no longer considered to be the first choice treatment for replacing a missing tooth. Despite the increasing number of patients requesting dental implant treatments, there are only some clinicians who are offering implant therapy in their daily practice. The international Team for implantology described a straightforward case as a simple case such as implant placements in adequate soft and hard tissue conditions and single-tooth restoration in a non-aesthetic zone. A review of the current literature discussed the implementation of implant dentistry in universities worldwide into their curriculum for both undergraduate and postgraduate programs in general dentistry. The European consensus in implant dentistry education concluded that it is desirable to include the surgical technique for implant placement for straightforward cases into the dental curriculum. The levels and limitations to which the various aspects of implant dentistry and related skills are to be taught are determined by the academic community. This review aimed at promoting awareness amongst dental practitioners and institutions in Indonesia of the shifting treatment paradigm in the management of a missing tooth. Hence clinicians with able to include implant dentistry in the treatment planning of their patients and also undertake a significant part in the execution of such treatments."
