Description
Summary:There is no evidence that MICAP notation is easier than the currently used notations. [...]we aimed to formally explore the comprehension of MICAP in relation to FDI notation by undergraduate students involved in three health care programmes as direct or indirect users of dental notations. In this way, each subject obtained a maximum score of 5 for each notation and 10 for two notations. [...]all correct answers (scenarios) were summed up to get the total score. Dewey's adult learning theory gives evidence that learning and real life scenario can be combined and learning is enhanced by providing case scripts, as shown in the present study, when students were provided mock scripts at routine learning, which gave them the opportunity to develop individualized diagnosis rather than rote memorization [18-20]. The present study has a special value, as it provided them at least an avenue to understand dental charting as a reference. [...]teaching medical students tooth identification as it is done by dental professionals was beneficial.
