          Abstract

          Introducción. El desarrollo del germen dental y su evolución, tanto morfo- como histogenético, debe ser conocido en detalle por el alumno de primer año, ya que formará parte esencial de su formación como profesional. El modelo de enseñanza-aprendizaje se vio profundamente alterado durante el período de aislamiento ocurrido por la pandemia de COVID-19. El objetivo de este trabajo fue estudiar en qué medida el aprendizaje virtual exclusivo condicionó la apropiación del conocimiento en alumnos de primer año de la carrera de odontología sobre un tema tan crucial. Materiales y métodos. Se analizaron, en 120 exámenes realizados en el período de pandemia, los aprendizajes teóricos sobre el desarrollo del germen dentario y la capacidad de esquematizar su evolución morfo- e histogenética por alumnos de primer año de odontología. Resultados. Los resultados mostraron un descenso significativo de los niveles de aprendizaje durante la enseñanza virtual exclusiva, especialmente en la capacidad de demostrar, por medio de un esquema o dibujo, el tema aprendido. Conclusiones. Se resalta la importancia de la presencia real del docente frente al alumno y el entorno educativo y social, además del uso de las herramientas virtuales, las cuales lograron un progreso significativo durante la pandemia.

          Introduction. The development of the dental germ and its evolution both morphogenetically and histogenetically should be known in detail by the first-year student since it will form an essential part of his or her training as a professional. The teaching-learning model was profoundly altered during the period of isolation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The aim of this work was to study the extent to which exclusive virtual learning conditioned the appropriation of knowledge in first-year dental students on such a crucial subject. Materials and methods. Theoretical learning about the development of the dental germ and the ability to schematize its morphogenic and histogenetic evolution were analyzed in 120 exams taken during the pandemic period by first year dental students. Results. The results showed a significant decrease in learning levels during exclusive virtual teaching, especially in the ability to demonstrate by means of a scheme or drawing, the learned topic. Conclusions. The importance of the real presence of the teacher in front of the student, the educational and social environment in addition to the use of virtual tools is highlighted, which achieved significant progress during the pandemic.

            Working memory predicts children's analogical reasoning.

            Analogical reasoning is the cognitive skill of drawing relationships between representations, often between prior knowledge and new representations, that allows for bootstrapping cognitive and language development. Analogical reasoning proficiency develops substantially during childhood, although the mechanisms underlying this development have been debated, with developing cognitive resources as one proposed mechanism. We explored the role of executive function (EF) in supporting children's analogical reasoning development, with the goal of determining whether predicted aspects of EF were related to analogical development at the level of individual differences. We assessed 5- to 11-year-old children's working memory, inhibitory control, and cognitive flexibility using measures from the National Institutes of Health Toolbox Cognition battery. Individual differences in children's working memory best predicted performance on an analogical mapping task, even when controlling for age, suggesting a fundamental interrelationship between analogical reasoning and working memory development. These findings underscore the need to consider cognitive capacities in comprehensive theories of children's reasoning development.

              Radiological age estimation: based on third molar mineralization and eruption in Turkish children and young adults.

              Radiographic evaluation of mineralization and eruption stages of third molars using dental panoramic radiographies can be an efficient tool for chronological age estimation in both forensic sciences and legal medicine. The third molar tooth is utilized for dental age estimation about the age span of 15-23 years because it represents the only tooth still in development. The aim of this study is to obtain and analyze data regarding third molar development and eruption in Turkish population for dental age estimation. A total of 744 dental panoramic radiographies of 394 female and 350 male subjects aged between 8 and 22 years were examined. Third molar development was determined according to the Nolla classification system, and eruption was assessed relative to the alveolar bone level. Mandibular and maxillary third molars were generally found at similar stages of development on both sides. Nolla stage 6 (completed crown calcification) was reached at around the age of 15 in both maxillary and mandibular third molars in both sexes. Alveolar emergence was at around the age of 16 in males and around age of 17 in females. Although third molars' eruption shows greater variability than development of third molars, data which were obtained from this study about eruption of these teeth can be supportive to development data for age estimation.
