RESUMEN
Apresenta-se a experiência da simulação clínica realística (SCR) efetuada no Laboratório de Simulação Clínica Realística e de Realidade Virtual Aumentada da Faculdade de Odontologia da Universidade de São Paulo (inaugurado em junho de 2022). Essa metodologia contribui significativamente na formação do estudante de Odontologia em todas as áreas do conhecimento odontológico. Sua aplicação deve submeter-se a protocolos corretos construção do problema (briefing), a simulação e discussão posterior (debriefing). Este cenário constitui o presente e o futuro da realidade do ensino odontológico. De fato, sua estratégia possibilita a simulação de uma multiplicidade de situações clínicas. Para tal, impõe-se a estruturação de um ambiente específico (aqui denominado "laboratório"). Este trabalho resume os fundamentos dessa simulação e a avaliação interna de sua aplicabilidade e inequívoca eficácia na nossa Faculdade. De fato, a simulação é uma estratégia facilitadora imprescindível no processo ensino-aprendizagem da Odontologia, cujo papel nesse processo deve delinear-se cada vez mais importante, na medida em que outros centros formadores forem adotando esse recurso e forem progressivamente intercambiando suas experiências e avaliações (AU).

This report on the experience of realistic clinical simulation (RCS) is linked to the Realistic Clinical Simulation and Augmented Virtual Reality Laboratory, launched in June 2022 at the Faculty of Dentistry of the University of São Paulo (São Paulo). RCS is an active methodology that can significantly contribute to the education of dental students in all areas of dental knowledge. Its application must adhere to correct protocols for problem construction (briefing), the simulation itself, and the subsequent discussion (debriefing). This scenario represents both the present and the future of dental education. Indeed, its strategy enables the simulation of a multitude of clinical situations, for which the establishment of a specific environment (herein referred to as a "laboratory") is needed. The present work summarizes the basis of this simulation and the internal evaluation of its applicability and effectiveness. It is concluded that simulation is a facilitating strategy in the dental teaching-and-learning process. In fact, its role in this process will become increasingly important as far as other educational institutions adopt this resource and progressively exchange their experiences and assessments (AU).

BACKGROUND: With the COVID-19 pandemic, thousands of children had their dental care interrupted or postponed, generating a pent-up demand for primary care. To minimize the impact of this outage, information and communication technologies (ICT) could be an alternative. The aim of this study is to elucidate the impact of implementing the ICTs in primary dental care for children on resolving the pent-up demand for primary dental care to children in the national health system service (SUS) due to the COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS: Different research strategies are being proposed to demonstrate such effect and extrapolating findings to a real-world context to guide further research, practice and policies: two clinical trials (one randomized controlled by the waiting list trial (RCT) and a before-and-after study), one simulation study to prospect trial results to a broader population and three economic evaluations using different effects. Children enrolled in a reference dental unit will be invited to participate in the before-and-after study for trials. The first 368 families will be randomized for the RCT to the intervention vs waiting list. All participants will receive the intervention, but the waiting list group will be assessed before the intervention is available for them. The intervention comprises standardized non-face-to-face primary dental care using the V4H platform. The problem-solving and the family's perception will be the primary outcomes set for the before-and-after study and RCT, respectively. They will be measured 2 weeks after randomization. Based on trial findings, we will develop theoretical models to estimate how the intervention could benefit the population included in the national health system. Three economic evaluations will be carried out considering different trial effects (cost-effectiveness analyses). A societal perspective and the pandemic time horizon will be considered. Possible social impact (inequalities) will also be explored. DISCUSSION: This ongoing trial may be an essential contribution to clarify positive and negative aspects related to the use of technologies for non-face-to-face dental care for children. Trial products may bring relevant contributions to the pandemic context and the post-pandemic period. Potential benefits may be feasible to implement and preserve in the health system even in the post-pandemic period. Trial registration Clinicaltrials.gov registration NCT04798599 (registered March 2021).

A pandemia da COVID-19 impôs ações assertivas em todos os níveis da sociedade. Aqui se relata o apoio emergencial na Resposta Rápida do Núcleo de Evidências e Análises Econômicas da Faculdade de Odontologia da Universidade de São Paulo (EvipOralHealth) para a coordenadoria estadual de saúde bucal de São Paulo, em prol da tomada de decisão e ressignificação do processo de trabalho. Foram implementadas duas estratégias de teleodontologia para a educação permanente (EP) dos trabalhadores de saúde bucal: 1. Lives com pesquisadores, estudantes, gestores e trabalhadores das diversas áreas da saúde pública e da Odontologia para estabelecer marcos teóricos; 2. Ambulatórios virtuais - via webconferência. Reuniu-se gestores e trabalhadores para a condução de diálogos de políticas sobre o dia a dia do enfrentamento e de adaptações e condições de trabalho de cada região. A experiência revela a importância da relação ensino-serviço-comunidade efetiva, pautada na tradução do conhecimento e na construção de espaços de troca possibilitando a implementação de práticas, programas e políticas. Precisamos repensar as estratégias de EP, sermos mais ágeis, mais flexíveis, menos acadêmicos e capazes de adaptar conteúdos e formatos às necessidades. A teleodontologia e a teleducação podem conferir escala e fazer chegar mais facilmente o conhecimento aos que necessitam.

Aim: To compare Enterococcus faecalis reduction after antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) used with methylene blue, toluidine blue, tannin, and curcumin as photosensitizers, an adjunct to endodontic chemomechanical preparation (CMP) in root canals of human teeth. Methods: A total of 120 single-rooted teeth were divided into 6 groups (n = 20): G1- CMP and 2.5% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl); G2- CMP and saline solution; G3- CMP, 2.5% NaOCl, and aPDT with 0.005% methylene blue; G4- CMP, 2.5% NaOCl, and aPDT with 0.005% toluidine blue; G5- CMP, 2.5% NaOCl, and aPDT with 0.005% tannin; and G6- CMP, 2.5% NaOCl, and aPDT with 0.005% curcumin. A portable semiconductor laser was used (660 nm, 100 mW, 1.8 J, 180s) in groups 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and a blue LED light-curing (420-480 nm, 1200 mV/cm2 ) in G6. For all groups, a 5 min pre-irradiation time was applied. Samples were collected before (initial collection), immediately after (intermediate collection) and 7 days after CMP (final collection) for colony-forming unit (CFU) counting. The Kruskal-Wallis test and analysis of variance (ANOVA) were performed (p < 0.05; 95% confidence interval). Results: In between-group comparisons, there was no significant difference observed in the number of CFUs at the initial (p >< 0.001) and final collections (p >< 0.001) for G2 and G3. In within-group comparisons, the number of CFUs showed a decreasing trend in G4 (p = 0.007) and G5 (p = 0.001). Conclusion: Photosensitizers promoted E. faecalis reduction, with better results for tannin and curcumin. Alternative photosensitizers should be the focus of further studies.>< 0.05; 95% confidence interval).

Abstract This paper describes the possibilities of using Teledentistry to expand and qualify health care in oral health care networks. WHO already recommended to its member countries, even before the pandemic, Telehealth as a strategy to improve the quality of services, especially in universal systems, as the Unified Health System (SUS). Teledentistry opens opportunities for oral health to resume the provision of various services, remotely, such as: 1) Tracking, active search, monitoring of priority users, those at risk and with systemic problems, suspicions of COVID-19 and contacts, through Telemonitation; 2) Initial listening, individual or collective educational activities, through Teleorientation; 3) Discussion of clinical cases for the definition of the opportunity / need for operative procedures, matrix support, sharing, solution of doubts among professionals and between these and teaching and research institutions, by Teleconsulting, among others. In addition to a review of Teledentistry in the context of the pandemic, we conceptualized the terms used and possibilities offered to SUS professionals, in addition to specifying the possible protocols for recording these activities to provide safe data for their monitoring and evaluation. Besides, we bring a brief discussion with promising experiences, carried out in the pre- and trans-pandemic contexts, which can be important strategies for the resumption of oral health in the post-pandemic scenario.

INTRODUCTION: There is ongoing debate regarding the ideal sequence, volume, and concentration of irrigants, length of time for irrigation, and irrigation technique to achieve debridement of the root canal system. The aim of this study was to verify the impact of the final rinse technique on smear layer removal ability of 17% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA). METHODS: Sixteen single-rooted human teeth were instrumented and divided into 2 groups at the final rinse step according to the following final rinse techniques used: continuous rinse group, continuous rinse with EDTA during 3 minutes, and rinse and soaking group, rinse with 1 mL of EDTA, soaking of the canal for 2 minutes and 30 seconds, and rinse completion with the remaining 4 mL for 30 seconds. The specimens were split lengthwise and observed under scanning electron microscope. RESULTS: Data were analyzed with Kruskal-Wallis and Dunn tests. The continuous rinse group presented more debris-free surfaces when compared with the rinse and soaking group (P<.01). When the root canal areas were compared within the groups, no statistical differences were found (P>.05). CONCLUSIONS: It can be concluded that a continuous rinse with 5 mL of EDTA for 3 minutes can more efficiently remove the smear layer from root canal walls.
