Dental Emergency

Early in 2020, the COVID-19 virus spread throughout the world. On March 11, 2020 the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic due to the level of spread and the severity of the disease. In efforts to control the spread of COVID-19 and reduce the number of new infections and deaths, people around the world took steps that had not been taken in modern history. As countries and locales issued “shelter in place edicts” the economic and social impact on businesses and professions was dramatic. The field of dentistry was similarly affected as edicts were made by governmental officials that elective dental procedures be stopped. In the state of Iowa, Governor Kim Reynolds issued a proclamation mandating that effective March 27, 2020 all dentists and their staff refrain from performing “elective dental procedures and nonessential or elective surgeries”. With this turn of events, dental practices across the state were effectively shut down, only being allowed to treat emergency patients. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Iowa Dental Board, Delta Dental of Iowa, and the University of Iowa College of Dentistry shared an interest in exploring telehealth as a means of improving access to dental care for vulnerable populations. While steady progress was being made prior to the Pandemic, once the practice of dentistry in Iowa was restricted, the interest in telehealth, or “Teledentistry” soared. At the University Of Iowa College Of Dentistry, procedures were put in place to allow all emergency patients to be triaged through Teledentistry prior to being appointed in the Clinic. Using synchronous Teledentistry systems, “e-visits” prior to emergency care became the “new normal”. Patients calling in for an emergency appointment were offered a menu of options for these e-visits including: 1) phone call; 2) phone call and sharing of images; or 3) a ZOOM meeting. All e-visits were provided by Dental faculty members at the University of Iowa with experience overseeing patient care in the Dental Emergency Clinic ranging from three to ten years. Final decisions on appointing patients were made by the provider based on existing records (when available), subjective symptoms (pain), objective findings (visible swelling), patients distress level, expectations and availability. During the initial 8-weeks following closure of our dental clinics (March 16-May 15), a total of 491 patients were seen in our dental emergency clinics, all of whom had been triaged by phone calls or e-visits. Most Patients reported overall satisfaction about the procedure. Based on our experience, Teledentistry (e-visits) are a useful tool to help in prioritizing dental emergencies.KeywordsTeledentistry; E-visits; Zoom visits.

I will be making some highly personalized comments on the Aguinis et al. (2017) focal article concerning rigor versus relevance, renaming/rebranding industrial and organizational (I-O) psychology, and I-O psychology versus business school organizational behavior (OB). Before commenting, however, I feel compelled to briefly frame my remarks from the perspective of my 50-year academic career. For example, I think it is important to note that I go back to the early 1960s at the University of Iowa, College of Business. I was studying for my PhD in the just emerging field of management and organizations (nothing was offered called organizational behavior or strategic management). However, and very unusual for the times for management majors, I also took a minor in the psychology department concentrating on social and I-O psychology. Also, after receiving my PhD in 1965, for my 2-year military obligation, after infantry officer training I was assigned to West Point and taught cadets the required psychology course and military leadership. This background had a formative and lasting impact on my thinking about OB and I-O psychology.

The Impact

My name is Adrien Wing. I am Associate Dean of International and Comparative Law Programs at the University of Iowa College of Law where I have been teaching for thirty-two years. I am also pleased to be with you today because I have been a member of ASIL for thirty-seven years. When I joined, we did not have any topics like today's subject. We certainly did not have the demographic diversity that is represented in this room. We have come a long way in some respects, and so at least for programming, it is wonderful that we have this topic “Diverse Perspectives on the Impact of Colonialism on International Law.” Three of the speakers will emphasize Africa. One person will focus on Latin America. The MILIG Interest Group, the minority interest group, is sponsoring this session. We are fortunate to have the co-chairs of the Interest Group here: Rafael Porrata-Doria and Christina Beharry.

Introduction: Musculoskeletal symptoms of the upper extremities are common among dental workers due to exposure to risk factors including repetition, forceful exertions of the hand, and awkward wrist postures.  As dental students learn new skills and procedures during dental school, they experience a gradually increasing exposure to these risk factors. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of hand and wrist musculoskeletal symptoms (MSS) among dental students of the University of Iowa. Methods: Thirty-five first year students and thirty-nine fourth year students (N=74) were asked to complete two questionnaires. Results: The prevalence of moderate/severe MSS of the dominant hand such as numbness, tingling and soreness among first year students was 0, 6 and 20% respectively compared to 18, 15 and 36% of the fourth year students. Conclusions: In this relatively small sample, MSS of the dominant hand were more common among fourth year dental students when compared to first year students.
