The COVID-19 pandemic led to closure of the 16 UK dental schools and a shift to remote learning. The aim of this study was to explore the impact on the teaching and learning experiences of undergraduate dental students, including their clinical confidence and mental health. An online survey was distributed to students enrolled at UK dental schools during the time of closure. Paired samples t-tests were employed to analyse the results. A total of 312 students responded to the survey. Eighty-five per cent felt that the university closure had a negative impact on their overall learning. Ninety-seven per cent thought their clinical skills would be affected; perceived confidence in treating patients decreased by 27%. The mental health of all respondents was negatively affected although their stress about their studies was not affected. Positive aspects of closure included remote learning and online examinations. The pandemic had both negative and positive impacts on dental students’ education. Universities should adapt their response to future crises and incorporate the positive impacts in future curriculums. Further studies could explore the long-term impact on students’ mental health and clinical skills.

Wrong site tooth extraction was removed from NHS England’s list of ‘never events’ in February 2021 as the systemic barriers put in place to prevent these events were not considered strong enough. This opinion article discusses the risk factors leading to wrong site tooth extractions, including the effects of human factors, the implications for dental professionals and the different methods dental professionals can implement to minimise risk.

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to an overhaul in the provision of dental services. This prompted the introduction of teledentistry clinics at King’s Dental Institute for patients who had been referred to the oral surgery department. This article presents findings from a retrospective analysis conducted to consider the effectiveness of such virtual clinics as well as discussing the benefits and challenges of teledentistry.

The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the delivery of routine dental services in the UK. Reduced face-to-face clinical activity has resulted in reduced availability of tertiary specialist services. The impact of the pandemic on medical trainees has been explored but there is limited literature regarding dental trainees. A blended questionnaire was designed, pre-piloted and administered as an online anonymous survey. Following pre-notification, this was administered to paediatric dentistry trainees for a three-week period. Quantitative data underwent descriptive statistics and qualitative data were subject to thematic analysis. The response rate was 63% (n=35). Two respondents were out of programme. Outpatient clinics and treatment with local anaesthesia were the most disrupted aspects of training. Academic training was less disrupted than clinical training. Thematic analysis found three key themes: personality and personal circumstance, colleagues and workplace, and changes to clinical and academic activity. Trainees perceptions ranged from optimistic to pessimistic, with many trainees identifying opportunities they had gained while others perceived none. This survey shows variation in training disruption and opportunity during the COVID-19 pandemic. Our findings support anecdotal evidence and results emerging from trainees in medicine. Further surveys should be administered as the pandemic progresses and these should include other dental specialties.

The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a global lockdown of many countries, causing disruption in medicine and dentistry educational programmes. Examination formats were adapted to open book assessments to allow student progression. The aim of this review was to determine whether open book examinations (OBEs) have suitable evidence to support their inclusion alongside (or as a substitute for) closed book examinations (CBEs). In this systematic review, searches were conducted using the ERIC (Education Resources Information Center), MEDLINE® and Embase™ databases as well as the grey literature to identify articles that provided primary data on OBEs in medicine and dentistry programmes globally. In addition, reference lists of key papers were searched. Quality assessment was undertaken through an adapted appraisal tool. Seven studies were included in the review. These comprised three randomised controlled trials, three non-randomised trials and one retrospective cohort study. All investigated OBEs in medicine. No studies were identified in dentistry. Learners reported a preference for OBEs. The use of resources was variable. However, this examination format resulted in higher mean scores than for CBEs. Clinicians reported using the same resources in OBEs as they do in their clinical practice, meaning the exam format may accurately represent the working environment. OBEs can improve learner satisfaction, test higher order thinking skills and be a more accurate reflection of challenges encountered in clinical practice. They can help educators design assessments to fulfil regulatory requirements of students demonstrating independent clinical practice and their value should not be underestimated.
