Dear Guiliana,

Reflective practice has been used in community based dental education, though not extensively. However, there is an article in JDE about experiences in reflecttive practice in community based health education.Roland Strauss et al. Reflective Learning in Community-Based Dental Education. J Dent Edu. 2003;67;1234-42.

Another article on application of reflective practice in dental education is available on rg and another from bdj. I am attaching the links.

Hope it helps.

Dear Juliana: the first thing we want to clarify is that we talk of temporo mandibular pathologies, this implies a differential Disgnostico and the complexity of the same , does not require atener to consider this as a specialty not yet recognized in the USA and in many countries

Estimado Jorge:

Espero te encuentres bien. La verdad no entiendo muy bien tu comentario, ya que la pregunta no habla del diagnóstico de Trastornos Temporomandibulares, ni menos de la especialidad (a pesar de que en Chile está reconocida desde el 2013 y existe el USA Board además de los criterios de acreditación de programas en Orofacial Pain de la CDA). Ojalá me pudieras explicar un poco más a lo que te refieres para poder contestarte de manera más completa.

Muchas gracias por contactarte.

Saludos, Giuliana
