Conceptual Learning in Orthodontics: A Systematic Literature Review of Its Implementation and Impact on Clinical Decision‐Making

Journal of Dental Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Orthodontic education has traditionally relied on didactic instruction and rule‐based teaching approaches. Increasing emphasis on clinical reasoning and evidence‐based treatment planning has led to the integration of conceptual learning strategies—approaches that emphasize understanding relationships between clinical concepts and ...

Shaping Future Children, Sex Selection, and “Normal” Human Capacities

Bioethics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT If we think that parents have an obligation to have a healthy child then we need to know what counts as healthy, when male and female children are born with very different capacities. If we give up on the idea that our obligations to use technologies of genetic selection are discharged once we try to secure the birth of a healthy child, as ...

Adhesion of Newly Developed Composite Resin Splinting Materials to Enamel: Effect of Enamel Surface Treatment

Dental Traumatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background/Aim To evaluate the shear bond strength (SBS) of newly developed composite resin materials intended for dental splinting to enamel and to determine whether phosphoric acid etching alone provides reliable adhesion. Material and Methods Four experimental materials (G‐Fix, Light Fix, Ortho Connect, and Ortho Connect Flow) were compared
