Effects of a curriculum change on dental student attitudes

This study compared student attitudes before and after the change from a four- to a five-year D.M.D. program at the Harvard School of Dental Medicine. Three instruments were used to collect data from eight successive classes, the last four enrolled in the original program (classes of 1979-1982) and the first four enrolled in the new program (classes of 1984-1987). Overall participation rate was 89 percent. The scales were: (1) the Survey of Interpersonal Values (SIV); (2) a bipolar adjective checklist, The Job of Dentistry, which reveals views of the profession, and (3) Career Plans. The same set of scales was administered for a second time, upon graduation, to the classes of 1980-1982. Only two changes were noted between first and second administrations for these three classes: at graduation, the job of dentistry was viewed as more sales-oriented and more physical. Comparing the two programs, students in the new (five-year) program scored significantly higher on leadership in the Survey of Interpersonal Values. Five-year students viewed the job of dentistry as significantly more changing, complicated, unusual, intellectual, scientific, interesting, and involving more public speaking, and their career plans tended to be more academically oriented.

A correlational study of preadmission predictor variables and dental school performance

The purpose of this study was to determine the predictive validity of preadmission scores on the performance of 131 students from nine successive classes at the Harvard School of Dental Medicine. The predictors included high school rank, SAT Verbal and Quantitative, selectivity of undergraduate college, college GPA, and DAT Academic, and PAT averages. The performance scores included science GPA, clinical GPA, oral examination scores, and scores on Parts I and II of the dental National Board examinations. Correlation coefficients were calculated between each predictor and performance measure. Only one was significantly greater than zero: DAT Academic average was positively related to Part II Board scores (r = .29). The apparent lack of validity of the other predictors was attributed to their restricted range.

A taxonomy for behavioral objectives in a dental school

This paper describes a taxonomy proposed for use by dental school faculties as an aid in specifying their course objectives in behavioral terms. This taxonomy, developed and tried at the Harvard School of Dental Medicine, is simpler than taxonomies previously proposed because it reduces the number of categories. In addition, the categories themselves are designed to communicate to and be interpreted by dental educators. The six categories are (1) knowledge of facts, concepts, and principles; (2) comprehension; (3) perceptual ability; (4) diagnosis and treatment planning skills; (5) motor skills; and (6) interactive skills. Each category is briefly defined and illustrated with two samples from operative dentistry.

Biochemical Characteristics of Vibrio sputorum and Relationship to Vibrio bubulus and Vibrio fetus

Loesche, Walter J. (Forsyth Dental Center and Harvard School of Dental Medicine, Boston, Mass.), Ronald J. Gibbons, and Sigmund S. Socransky. Biochemical characteristics of Vibrio sputorum and relationship to Vibrio bubulus and Vibrio fetus. J. Bacteriol. 89:1109-1116. 1965.-Twenty-seven strains of Vibrio sputorum were isolated from human gingival debris. All strains reduced nitrate beyond nitrite, and all produced H(2)S. None produced catalase, indole, or acetylmethylcarbinol. Carbohydrates were not fermented, and acid end products or volatile neutral products could not be detected. Motility was observed infrequently, although 14-hr cultures usually had a few cells which displayed darting motility. Shadowed electron microscopic preparations demonstrated that most cells in a given culture were nonflagellated, although some cells with a single terminal or subterminal flagellum were always observed. V. sputorum was demonstrated not to be a strict anaerobe as previously described, but rather a microaerophile. Addition of nitrate to culture media markedly enhanced growth. V. sputorum was found to be closely related to the animal microaerophilic vibrios, V. bubulus and V. fetus. V. sputorum differed from V. fetus by being capable of anaerobic growth, producing H(2)S, and failing to produce catalase or to grow in 10% O(2). Antigens of V. sputorum cross-reacted in low titer with antisera to V. fetus serotypes I, II, III, and V. V. sputorum differed from V. bubulus by being inhibited by 3.5% NaCl and by qualitative differences in growth in the presence of 1% glycine and 10% O(2). These differences do not appear sufficient to recognize two distinct species, and it is proposed that both species be recognized as V. sputorum, which has priority. Strains unable to grow in 3.5% NaCl would be considered V. sputorum var. sputorum, whereas strains capable of growth in 3.5% NaCl would be V. sputorum var. bubulum.
