Objectives: To develop and evaluate an educational web-based programme for temporomandibular joint (TMJ) assessment using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).
Methods: A web-based educational programme was designed for TMJ assessment using CBCT images. Fifteen CBCT cases of the TMJ (three-dimensional reconstructed volumes) and an assessment module based on image analysis criteria in the Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (DC/TMD) were added to the programme. Thirty-six undergraduate dental students were invited to test the programme by assessing all cases twice: before and after 2 months of training. Participants submitted written subjective evaluations of the programme.
Results: The web-based programme can be accessed on Malmö University webpage (www.cbct-tmj.mau.se). Despite limited CBCT learning in their undergraduate training and not using the programme in the 2-month interval, the students were able to correctly diagnose 80% of the cases at the second assessment. Their diagnoses, however, did not differ significantly from the first assessment. Overall, the students were satisfied with the programme and considered it user-friendly.
Conclusion: The web-based educational programme that was developed in the present study and tested by dental students could be a useful educational tool for TMJ assessment using CBCT.

Although there is growing knowledge surrounding the value of involving patients and families in pediatrics residency training, based on a web-based survey of program directors (PDs) in Departments of Pediatrics across Canada, only 42% reported engaging patients and families in their formal residency curriculum. However, all respondents acknowledged the value of partnering with patients and families. Given this, we developed an educational intervention in partnership with our local Family Advisory Council members, that allows for (a) family voices to be heard and incorporated, and (b) direct interaction and conversation between families and pediatric residents.

Background: As healthcare systems increasingly embrace digital transformation, the need for a specialised digital health workforce, distinct from general clinical or IT roles, has become paramount. This study offers a national review of digital health education (DHE) offerings in Australian universities, with a focus on how current curricula support the development of advanced, workforce-ready skills in areas such as health informatics, data analytics, digital implementation, and leadership.
Methods: A systematic web-based review was conducted across all 42 Australian universities, drawing on publicly available resources including official handbooks, course catalogues, and subject guides.

Objectives: To assess patterns across 21 countries in dentists' thresholds for initiating operative treatment of active non-cavitated carious lesions and to evaluate the influence of caries risk, clinician characteristics, and geographic variation on decision-making in accordance with current guidelines.
Methods: A cross-sectional, vignette-style web-based survey was conducted between June and October 2023 across 21 countries. A standardized questionnaire, comprising theoretical radiographic scenarios of occlusal and approximal active non-cavitated carious lesions at four progressive stages (E1,E2,EDJ,D1), was distributed to general dentists and specialists.
