The capacity to locate, access, and appraise information is an important skill required for success in dental school and beyond. An interdisciplinary course was implemented to teach first-year dental students at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston Dental Branch about evidence-based dentistry, search strategies, critical appraisal of the literature, and dental informatics. Students learned to develop a clinical question, conduct a search to find answers to that question, and critically appraise one of the retrieved resources. Over a period of four years, a total of 259 dental students completed a questionnaire that requested their assessment of this course.
The Maternal and Child Health Library at Georgetown University in collaboration with the National Maternal and Child Oral Health Resource Center (OHRC) released a new edition of the knowledge path about oral health for infants, children, adolescents, and pregnant women. Presented in time for National Children's Dental Health Month in February, this electronic guide points to resources that analyze data, describe effective programs, and report on policy and research aimed at improving access to and the quality of oral health care. The knowledge path contains sections with resources for professionals, resources for consumers, and resources on specific aspects of oral health. Topics include child care and Head Start, dental caries, dental sealants, fluoride varnish, K-12 education, pregnancy, school-based care, and special health care needs.

"First in real life and now first in virtual life, the University of Maryland Dental School is the first U.S. dental school to introduce sophisticated "Second Life" education, according to Dental School officials. Founded in 1840, the Dental School offers a high-technology dental education for a new generation of dentists, says Dean Christian S. Stohler, DMD, DrMedDent. Earlier this year, Stohler authorized his faculty to take his passion for high-tech dentistry education a step further."

The University of Maryland Dental School is 1 of the top-ranked dental programs in the U.S. and Canada. It's also working to be 1 of the most technologically advanced. The school is adopting SL as a training tool, offering students lessons in best dental hygiene practices 2 infection control & anatomy. It's not the only 1, Case Western has also been investigating virtual worlds as a dental training tool. Beginning this fall, though, Maryland is also going to be introducing the virtual world 2 all of its 1st-year students as part of its orientation program. "What we are doing is developing a 3D virtual world that we can use 2 engage in global outreach, teaching, & perhaps collaboration," said Carroll-Ann Trotman, BDS, MS, associate dean for Academic Affairs. "So far, it has been reasonably well received by both students and faculty. This is another tool-1 of several instructional tools that faculty can have 2 work with. Each faculty member will approach this w/ their own ideas."

This book will lead students & advanced researchers to an understanding of current ideas in the analysis of dental data with informatic tools and will provide general information on how to search for and find evidence-based medical and dental information.
Book provides strategies for the dental team anticipating or using technology to improve the workplace, increase case acceptance, accelerate productivity, and improve patient care.
Dentists have various information needs at the point of care. Among them, the needs for better visual representation and patient-specific evidence-based information are mostly unmet. While patient records and support staff remain the most used information sources, electronic sources other than electronic dental records (EDR) are rarely utilized during patient visits. For future development of dental information or clinical decision-support systems, developers should consider integrating high-quality, up-to-date clinical evidence into comprehensive and easily accessible EDRs as well as supporting dentists' resource use patterns as identified in the study.
