The part-time clinical instructor in the undergraduate dental clinic.

Currently, part-time dental instructors do not receive formal training in education. According to the recent literature, some instructors may not be aware of all the options available to them in the clinic. It has been observed, for example, that instructors have demonstrated the greatest effectiveness while acting as facilitators rather than as educators. These instructors are able to incorporate their position as role models into their teaching. Dental departments must understand that the tone established in the clinic has a significant impact on the quality of their students' learning experience. This tone arises out of open dialogue between instructors and their students. The complexities of successful teaching can only be conquered when more information is provided to part-time staff.

External root resorption: an experimental radiographic evaluation.

Radiographs of a human mandibular premolar, in which five holes (resorptive defects) of differing diameters were drilled before its replacement into a human mandible, were evaluated by 11 dental faculty members. The radiographs were made at various exposure times and angulations. The observers' results were evaluated statistically. It was found that small resorptive defects were significantly more difficult to identify than larger ones. Also, angulation, exposure time, and location of the defects as defined in this study had no significant effect on the ability of observers to accurately identify them.
