    Innovative Pre-clinical Learning in Oral Surgery: Injection on Tomato�A Quasi-Experimental Study
    (Springer, 2024) Bhagat B.R.; Khairnar M.; Waknis P.P.; Rudagi B.M.
    Introduction: Before any patient handling, the third-year undergraduate learners should handle the injection on tomato to raise their confidence pre-clinically. Another advantage of this learning was learners can avoid needle prick injury in the initial learning stage. Also, they can learn single hand to aspirate during the injection technique. Tomato was used to reduce the �Red colour� fear of blood for the learners. Aim of the Study: To evaluate students� perception towards tomato injection activity in oral surgery. Methodology: Quasi-experimental study was conducted on third-year BDS students from the department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery of a Dental Institute. All the third-year BDS Students were informed about the objective of the study and those who were willing to participate were invited to take part in the study. A written informed consent was obtained from the students, and ethical clearance was obtained from the Institutional Ethical Committee. Conclusion: A simple activity like tomato injection can be easily done at the workplace. This is a potentially flourishing concept to accomplish self-confidence and enhance ability and preparedness for young learners to execute actual procedure in patients pre-clinically. � The Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons of India 2024.

    Jaws of knowledge: an analysis of temporomandibular joint insights in dental training�a quasi-experiment study
    (Korean Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, 2024) Bhagat B.R.; Khairnar M.R.; Maity S.; Sachdev M.M.; Shah S.; Dharamsi R.
    Objectives: To access the knowledge of undergraduate and postgraduate students of the dental college on basic anatomy, physiology, clinical examination, and pathology of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Materials and Methods: A total of 610 undergraduate and postgraduate students of dental college, were included in this study. The questionnaire was pretested for validation and distributed online through Google forms. Results: A pairwise comparison showed that the percentage of correct answers for interns significantly differed from that of IV Bachelor of Dental Surgery (P=0.050) and postgraduate students (P=0.048) (below average: up to 6 correct answers, good: 7-11 correct answers, excellent: 12 or more correct answers). Conclusion: TMJ diseases are common in daily life but frequently go undiagnosed and untreated due to a lack of clinical expertise. This demonstrates the necessity of providing instructions that give students in-depth knowledge and abilities for TMJ issues in clinical practice. � 2024 The Korean Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons.
