Abedalrahman J. Shqaidef, Mohammad Y. N. Saleh, Farah K. Ismail, Motasum Abu-Awad, and Balvinder S. Khambayd, A comparative assessment of information recall and comprehension between conventional leaflets and an animated video in adolescent patients undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment: A singlecenter, randomized controlled trial, American Journal of orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics, Apr 2021, doi: 10.1016/j.ajodo.2020.03.028
Introduction: The objective of this 2-arm parallel trial was to investigate the recall and comprehension of the information of orthodontic patients undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment using either the verbal explanation supported with the British Orthodontic Society (BOS) leaflet or 3-dimensional (3D) animated content. Methods: Patients aged 12-18 years, with no relevant medical history or learning and reading difficulties, who were to undergo orthodontic treatment, were randomized to receive information about fixed orthodontic treatment, using either verbal explanation supported with the BOS leaflet or 3D animated content on the basis of the BOS leaflet. Randomization was performed by block randomization; block size of 4 was used, from which 6 blocks with 6 different sequences (AABB, ABBA, ABAB, BBAA, BAAB, BABA). The blinded author asked patients a series of open-ended questions. The primary outcome measure was the total score of the questions. An independent 2 sample t test was conducted to determine if there was a statistical difference in total questions score between the conventional method (verbal and leaflet) and the 3D animation at the time of consent taking (T0) and again 1 year later (T1). The secondary outcome measure was the time spent by the clinician delivering the information to the patient. Results: Thirty-two patients were randomized into each group. After 1 year, 1 patient was lost in each group. At the time of consent, the conventional group scored 79.1 6 18.4 compared with 76.4 6 12.8 for the 3D animation group with no statistically significant difference (95%confidence interval, 11.0 to 5.3), (P 50.492). One year later, again, there was no statistically significant difference (P 5 0.639) between the conventional group (75.6 6 12.3) and the 3D animation group (74.4 6 9.0) (95% confidence interval, 7.0 to 4.4). The average exposure time to the educational intervention in the conventional group was 8.5 minutes more than the 3D animation group. Conclusions: The use of 3D animation or verbal and leaflet information is relatively equivalent in transferring knowledge to the orthodontic patient. The use of a 3D animated video reduces the clinician time needed in the clinic to deliver information to the patients and also allows multiple views and better suits the younger generation. Patients undergoing short- or long-term orthodontic treatment do not recall root damage as a risk of orthodontic treatment, which requires special attention from the orthodontist to reinforce this information. Registration: This trial was not registered. Protocol: The protocol was not published before trial commencement. (Am J Orthod Dentofacial Orthop 2021;160:11-8)

Objectives: To compare the academic performance of 4th-year dental students randomly divided into three learning groups: live lecture, video recorded lecture and audio recorded lecture. To assess students’ attitudes towards the three learning methods. Materials and methods: 4th-year undergraduate students, enrolled in the Orthodontics Theory—1 course, were randomised into three groups receiving different teaching methods; video recorded lecture, audio recorded lecture and live lecture. Subjects were asked to answer two open-ended questions. The first was a simple basic knowledge question in which the answer involved transcribing information from the question, while the second required analytical thinking. Students were also asked to complete a questionnaire assessing their attitudes towards the three learning methods. Results: 94 students participated in the study and were randomly allocated to each learning method. There were no significant differences in scores between the 3 study groups when answering the basic knowledge question (P > .05). The mean score for the analytic question was significantly higher for the live lecture and video recorded lecture groups compared to the audio recorded lecture group (P < .05). The majority of students agreed that lectures were an essential part of their learning experience and that lectures allowed interaction between students and lecturer. Two-thirds of students reported that watching a video recorded lecture provided a similar learning experience to attending a live lecture. Conclusion: Video recorded, audio recorded and live lectures were found to be equally effective for providing basic knowledge. Video recorded and live lectures were more effective than audio recorded lecture at assessing higher levels of analytical thinking. Students attending video recorded lecture performed as well as those attending the live lecture.

Abedalrahman Shqaidef, Assessment of Parents comprehension of orthodontic consent within Jordanian population., Jordan medical journal, Oct 2020
Objectives: To investigate the comprehension of the consent among the parents of Jordanian orthodontic patients undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment, using the verbal explanation supported with the University hospital consent leaflet. Materials and methods: 32 consecutive parents of patients, aged 12-17 years, and about to undergo orthodontic treatment at the University Hospital, received information about risk and benefits of fixed orthodontic treatment, using verbal explanation supported with the University hospital consent leaflet. Parents were asked a series of open-ended question to evaluate their comprehension of the information presented in the consent. Results: Parents answered correctly the questions related to straightening of the teeth as a benefit of orthodontic treatment, whether they should inform their orthodontist about any previous injuries to the patient’s teeth, and if pain is expected due to orthodontic treatment. However more than half of the parents failed to answer the questions related to improvement of gum and teeth health as a benefit of orthodontic treatment, root resorption as a risk of orthodontic treatment and the importance of following diet instructions to reduce the risk of white spot lesions. Conclusion: Parents do not recall root damage as a risk of orthodontic treatment nor diet advice to reduce the risk of white spot lesions, which requires a special attention from the orthodontist to reinforce this information at the beginning of any orthodontic treatment.

Ellis-Van Creveld (EVC) syndrome, also termed chondro-ectodermal dysplasia, is a rare autosomal recessive disorder first described in 1940 by Richard W. B. Ellis of Edinburgh and Simon van Creveld of Amsterdam.1 Medical historians have suggested that King Richard III had features of EVC syndrome based on Sir William Shakespeare’s and Sir Thomas More’s descriptions of his deformities, but recent archaeological discoveries in Leicester have precluded this

Introduction: Reports examining the impact of oral health on the quality of life of refugees are lacking. The aim of this study was to examine factors influencing oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) among Syrian refugees in Jordan. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted on a convenience sample of Syrian refugees, who attended dental clinics held at Azraq camp. The survey assessed the refugees’ oral hygiene practices, and measured their OHRQoL using the Arabic version of the United-Kingdom Oral Health-Related Quality of life measure. Results: In total, 102 refugees [36 male and 66 female; mean age 34 (SD = 10) years] participated. Overall, 12.7% did not brush their teeth and 86.3% did not use adjunctive dental cleaning methods. OHRQoL mean score was 56.55 (range 32–80). Comparison of the physical, social and psychological domains identified a statistically significant difference between the physical and the psychological domain mean scores (ANOVA; P = 0.044, Tukey’s test; P = 0.46). The factors which revealed association with OHRQoL scores in the univariable analyses, and remained significant in the multivariable linear regression analysis, were: age (P = 0.048), toothbrushing frequency (P = 0.001) and attending a dental clinic in the last year (P = 0.004). Conclusion: The physical aspect of quality of life was more negatively impacted than the psychological aspect. Toothbrushing frequency and attending a dental clinic at least once in the last year were associated with more positive OHRQoL scores. Older refugees seemed to be more vulnerable to the impact of poor oral health on OHRQoL.
