ABSTRACT
Education currently focuses on improving academic knowledge and clinical skills, but it is also important for students to develop personal and interpersonal skills from the start of their clinical practice. The aim was to evaluate the effect of peer mentoring in third-year students and to gauge the evolution of non-technical skills (NTS) acquisition up to the fifth year. The study groups were selected between September 2015 and May 2018, based on the NTS training they had or had not received: (1) fifth-year students with no training (G1); (2) third-year students mentored in NTS (G2a); and (3) a small group of fifth-year students who became mentors (G2b). A total of 276 students who took part in this study were assessed using a 114-item self-evaluation questionnaire. Data were collected from seven surveys conducted between September 2015 and May 2018, and statistical analysis was performed using one-way ANOVA and Fisher's post-hoc test. G2a improved their non-technical skill acquisition over three years of clinical training up to their fifth year. This group and G2b showed statistically significant differences compared to non-mentored students (G1). Peer mentoring at the beginning of clinical practice is a valid option for training students in non-technical skills.
ABSTRACT
En la actualidad la porcelana dental es el material que se considera ideal por sus propiedades, ya que, proporciona estética, biocompatibilidad y estabilidad. Su evolución ha sido rápida y creciente, debido a la búsqueda de la restauración de porcelana más resistente, estal la resistencia obtenida que se ha propuesto como substituto al tradicional metal-cerámica. Es necesario tomar en cuenta múltiples factores para elegir un material restaurador totalmente cerámico, por ejemplo: grado de translucidez; requerimientos del paciente y zona a restaurar, para determinar la resistencia que debe tener el material; diseño de la restauración; tipo de cemento a utilizar; ajuste marginal y técnica de procesado. Son muchos los sistemas para realizar coronas y prótesis parciales fijas total-cerámicas, cada uno con propiedades e indicaciones diferentes. Es por esto necesario saber que material es el que nos brinda más beneficios según cada caso (AU)
Currently the dental porcelain is the ideal material by its properties because provided esthetics, biocompatibility and stability. Its evolution has been fast and growing, due to the search of the most resistant restoration of porcelain, is such the resistance obtained that they are substituting progressively to the commonly utilized restorations metal-ceramics. Is necessary look multiples factors to choose a complete ceramic restaurateur material, for example: degree of translucence; requests of the patient and zone to restore, for determine the resistance that should have the material; design of the restoration; type of cement to utilize; marginal adjustment and technique of processed. They are many systems to carry out crowns and fixed partial dentures total-ceramics, each one with properties and different indications. It is for this necessary to know that material is the one that offers us more benefits according to each case (AU)
