Item An overview of maxillofacial radiology education activities during and after the covid- 19 pandemic(Ankara Üniversitesi Diş Hekimliği Fakültesi, 2021) Polat, Elif; Diş Hekimliği; Diş Hekimliği FakültesiObjective: To convey the applications of online education in the field of maxillofacial radiology, which is widely used in the world during the COVID- 19 pandemic, and the post-pandemic education and training models suggestions in accordance with the changing world order by compiling the research results and literature information on the subject. Method: Different educational models applied in maxillofacial radiology before and during the COVID-19 pandemic were evaluated in terms of their results and activities by looking into published articles. In the light of these data, regulations, and recommendations were developed for post-pandemic educational activities. Findings: During the COVID-19 pandemic, the disruptions in educational activities at all levels and fields all over the world were reflected in maxillofacial radiology education. However, studies show that learning with online education in this field, especially in the interpretation of radiological images and problem-based learning activities, is at least as successful as or more than traditional education models. Online education also provides feedback to lecturers and promotes active learning, considered best practices for the teaching-learning process. During the COVID-19 pandemic period, theoretical education has been tried to be continued in the form of online education, although various some studies showed that online education is insufficient in practical education. In radiological interpretation, it is one of the biggest problems to ensure students' attention and effective participation in practical terms. In addition, online teaching of radiographic techniques and applications may not be as effective as instructive teaching techniques. After the pandemic, it is predicted that returning to normal maxillofacial radiology education will be challenging in both theoretical and practical aspects and there will is be a need to change. Results: Considering the strengths and weaknesses of online education models, whose application area has increased so much during the COVID-19 pandemic. The development and implementation of new, effective education-training models suitable both for the conditions and for everyone involved in education for the post-pandemic period, emerges as a necessity. After the pandemic, it is important to evaluate the blended education model in theoretical education, to make various changes in maxillofacial radiology practical training and to re-determine the rules of hygiene, separation and education.Item Comparison of the exam scores obtained in face-to-face education and online education by the students of the faculty of dentistry(Ankara Üniversitesi Diş Hekimliği Fakültesi, 2021) Duman, Burcu; Diş Hekimliği; Diş Hekimliği FakültesiPurpose:The Covid-19 pandemic has affected our daily lives by affecting the whole world and caused our habits to change.One ofthe effects of the epidemic has been on education.With the spread of the epidemic, online education has become the only way to maintain the normal teaching order.In this case, it directly affects the quality of education received.The aim of this study is to examine whether there is a difference between the exam scores made face to face and online. Methods:Students who were 3rd grade in 2018-2019 and 4th grade in 2019-2020 academic year were included in the study.Thescores that these students got in the Pedodontics Theoretical Exam within two years were evaluated. Exam scores according to time were analyzed with Friedman Test and Wilcoxon Test. Results:In the 2019-2020 academic year, the median values of the scores obtained from the exams that took the first examface-to-face and the second and third exams online varied (p<0.001).The median values of the scores obtained in the online exams(median values of 90 and 95, respectively) (the mean values are 89.6±8.7, 93.8±9, respectively), the median values of the scores obtained from the theoretical exam (median 70, mean 67.2±18.1) was obtained higher.On the other hand ,it was observed that there was a significant increase between the scores obtained by the same students from the exams held face-to-face in the previous year(median 74, mean 74.1±7.1) and the scores they took from the online exams they obtained the next year (median 89, mean87.7±9.1)(p<0.001). Conclusion:The results of the exams made with the online system are higher than the exam scores performed face to face.Thismay be due to the insufficient control mechanisms of the online exam system.For this reason, online exam security measuresshould be increased.Item Evaluation of clinical students' perspectives and satisfaction levels on practical practices at the faculty of dentistry of tokat gaziosmanpaşa university in the covid-19 pandemic(Ankara Üniversitesi Diş Hekimliği Fakültesi, 2021) Sarıkaya, Işıl; Diş Hekimliği; Diş Hekimliği FakültesiAim: It was aimed to reveal the perspectives and satisfaction levels of 4th and 5th grade-clinical students who go on practice education at Tokat Gaziosmanpaşa University Faculty of Dentistry in the 2020-2021 Academic Year. Methods: Within the scope of the study, 146 students in total, who did their face-to-face internship between October 5 and December 11, 2020, were asked to participate in an online survey with 10 questions. Clinical students were asked about their perspective on Covid-19 infection, whether they felt safe in their dental practice, their families' level of anxiety about their internship, and whether they voluntarily chose dentistry. Results: According to the survey results; 15.1% of the students agree (TA), 27.4% agree (A), 37% partially agree (PA), 13% disagree (D) with the statement “I am pleased to have internships since the beginning of the term” 7.5% of them answered, “Strongly disagree” (SD). Pearson’s chi-square test was used in the statistical analysis of the answers given by 4th and 5th-grade students to the first 9 questions of the questionnaire consisting of the same questions. According to the survey results, it was also observed that most students chose the dentistry profession of their own will (TA 39%, A 36.3%, PA 13.7%). The number of students who think they feel safe in terms of infection control during their internship is 60% in total (TA 5.5%, A 17.1%, PA 37.7%). Conclusion: Despite the increasing number of cases until today, it is thought that the process has been successfully managed and that the students have gained experience in practical training, albeit limited.Item Evaluation of dental students' awareness and attitude about preventive dental treatments: survey research(Ankara Üniversitesi Diş Hekimliği Fakültesi, 2021) Abaklı İnci, Merve; Other; OtherAim: Determination of dental students' approaches to fissure sealant applications; the widespread use and evaluation of their effectiveness of protective dental practices is extremely important. This research aims to evaluate the level of understanding and clinical attitudes of 3rd, 4th and 5th grade students of Necmettin Erbakan University Faculty of Dentistry on preventive dental treatments. Methods: The first part of the questionnaire consists of 10 questions aimed at assessing the students' technical levels of knowledge with data on age, gender and educational level. In the second section analyzing students' clinical behaviors, 11 questions were asked for answers to multiple choices (always, often, sometimes, never). This questionnaire was used on the internet in an anonymous way. Results: The questionnaire was received by 68 3rd grade, 67 4th grade and 75 5th grade students who were previously educated on fissure sealant applications. The vast majority (96.2 percent) of the students involved in the study indicated that the effectiveness of fissure sealants in preventing the development of tooth decay was confirmed by strong scientific evidence. Again, 99.5 percent of the students participating in the study indicated that the justification of the application procedures for the fissure sealant was identified and understood. With the assumption that only new teeth can be applied to fissure sealants, a statistically significant difference between the classes was observed (p<0.05); 3rd graders responded "yes" mainly. Conclusion: Although dental students have sufficient knowledge of protective dental practices and fissure sealants, variations in understanding and implementing clinical practice procedures may be found between classes. Standardization should be provided and education / lectures on preventive dental practices should be increased to obtain the equivalent of theoretical education at the clinical level.Item Evaluation of dental students’ knowledge and opinion about learning with virtual reality(Ankara Üniversitesi Diş Hekimliği Fakültesi, 2021) Ozveren, Neslihan; Other; OtherAIM: Virtual reality (VR) based technologies have been used in dentistry for almost two decades. Dental simulators, treatment planning software, and CAD/CAM systems have evolved significantly over the years, changing both dental education and clinical practice. The purpose of this survey study is to learn the knowledge, opinions, and thoughts of dental students in our country on the use of VR-based dental simulators in education, and to raise awareness on this issue. METHODS: Questions testing participants’ knowledge were based on the data from peer-reviewed dental journals. The survey questions consisting of a total of 25 questions were delivered online via Google Forms (Google Inc., USA) to students who had preclinical training in the dental faculty before the Covid-19 pandemic. The data obtained were evaluated using the descriptive statistics and Pearson chi-square test. RESULTS: 422 of the 662 students in the study were female and 240 were male students. 82.3% of the study participants were studying at a state university. 74.6% of the participants in the study stated that they needed more preclinical education. While 89.9% of the students participating in the survey stated that they do not have information about preclinical education with virtual reality, 97.4% stated that they have not used a VR-based dental simulator before. 85.5% of them stated that they feel positive about training in virtual environment with VR-based dental simulator and 86% of them prefer using both VR-based training and phantom models in preclinical training. CONCLUSION: Dental students had overall positive attitudes towards VR-based dental simulator but very few used VR-based dental simulators in education and practice. While using VR-based dental simulators as part of undergraduate and continuing education programs is rapidly advancing in the world, in our country having knowledge about VR-based dental simulators will increase awareness for the development of such technologies and their inclusion in dentistry education.Item Evaluation of dentistry students' lifelong learning tendencies during the covıd-19 pandemic(Ankara Üniversitesi Diş Hekimliği Fakültesi, 2021) Aras Tosun, Duru; Diş Hekimliği; Diş Hekimliği FakültesiAim: Dentistry education is a life-long, continuous education. The aim of this study was to determine the lifelong learning (LLL) tendencies of the dental faculty students who were receiving distance education during the Covid-19 pandemic. Methods: 258 dentistry students participated the study. Research data was collected by 'Lifelong Learning Disposition Scale' (LDS). In the first part of the questionnaire, students were asked to reply socio-demographic questions and their ability to learn during the distance education process of the COVID-19 pandemic. In the second part, there were questions about LLL. The low score obtained from the scale indicates that the LLL tendency is high. ANOVA and t-test were used for analysis of LDS score, and the Mann Whitney-U and Kruskal Wallis tests were used for sub-dimensions. Results: During the COVID-19 Pandemic, 40.3% of the students stated their status of learning skills as medium, 28.7% as bad and 11.6% as very bad. Students' mean score on the LDS scale was 88.26 ± 9.8. The mean LDS score was statistically significant according to their class, gender and their assessment of learning skills during the COVID-19 pandemic (p <0.05). There was no correlation between the monthly income and academic success levels of the students and their LDS scores (p> 0.05). Conclusion: In this study, it was determined that the students made their own evaluations correctly during the Covid-19 pandemic. LDS scores of the students who stated their learning status as bad were significantly higher by 1,187 times. During the Covid-19 pandemic, it is important to communicate using educational methods that aim to support students' learning skills. Therefore, new interventions should be planned to increase students' LLL tendencies.Item The effect of covıd 19 pandemic on clinicalpractices and education in cukurova university faculty of dentistry(Ankara Üniversitesi Diş Hekimliği Fakültesi, 2021) Soygun, Koray; Other; OtherPurpose:The aim of this study was to evaluate the strategy of Cukurova University Faculty of Dentistry in clinicalmanagement and education during COVID 19 pandemic and report the effects of the coronavirus outbreak that affectedthe whole world. Methods:The number of patients, income and expenditure rates were compared between March-November 2019 andMarch-November 2020. The effect of COVID 19 pandemic on education was evaluated by comparing the preclinical andclinical course methods and assessment-evaluation methods before and during the pandemic period. Comparisons weremade considering the theoretical and the practical training, feedback and student evaluation methods. Results:The number of patients and income levels in March 2020 was approximately 50% of the income in March 2019.A dramatic decrease was observed in the number of patients and income-expense levels in April and May. Althoughnormalization has started by October 2020, clinics have been working with a performance of approximately 40%compared to 2019.
