    Implementation of a multi-environment learning/teaching platform to improve the dental education quality
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2018) Bravo Torre, Jack Fernando; Vintimilla Tapia, Paúl Esteban; Bravo Torres, Wilson Daniel; Astudillo Ortiz, Jaime Leonardo; Cevallos Ludeña, Cinthya Maria; Bravo Torres, Wilson Daniel; Bravo Torres, Wilson Daniel
    Nowadays, due to the constant advance of information and communication technologies (ICTs), a new society, whose main characteristic is to globalize access to information, is being deployed. Thus, ICTs are present in all aspects of everyday life, allowing anyone to obtain content of interest at any time. In this sense, education is not alien to this reality, so new paradigms of learning/teaching are unfolding. On the one hand, students are motivated to become knowledge producers, offering learning environments equipped with tools and resources according to their preferences. On the other hand, teachers are encouraged to improve the quality of their teaching, giving work environments provided with statistical analysis tools that allow to measure student progress. For these reasons, this paper proposes the development of a multi-environment learning/teaching platform based on ICTs, aimed at improving the educational experience of students and teachers. © 2018 IEEE.

    DentaLAV: A virtual platform for dental multidisciplinary learning
    (IEEE, 2017) Cevallos Ludeña, Cinthya Maria; Bravo Torres, Wilson Daniel; Gallegos Segovia, Pablo Leonidas; Bravo Torres, Jack Fernando; Vintimilla Tapia, Paúl Esteban; Alvarado Cordero, Jacinto José
    The current deployment of information and communication technologies (ICTs), coupled with the growing development of mobile communications and miniaturized electronic devices, allows that more people access to a large amount of information. For this reason, a new social model known as the knowledge society is being developed. It is based on the capacity of each individual to transform the information they have into useful knowledge. Due this, the economy is based in technical qualities of each individual and him/her knowledge to develop several services. So, the education model must improve offering a better learning quality. With the develop of new virtual tools based in ICTs, such as virtual platforms, this goals will be achieved in any educational field. Dentistry is not indifferent to this reality, since several virtual platforms have been proposed that offer diverse multimedia resources to reinforce the contents reviewed in the classroom. However, they suggest individualized educational models that do not take into consideration the multidisciplinary work that needs to be developed in this field. For this reason, this paper proposes the development of DentaLAV, a virtual learning platform whose objective is to create multidisciplinary collaborative learning groups, giving higher education students the opportunity to train to face real dental cases.

    Primary stability with the osseodensification drilling technique for dental implants in low density bone in humans: a systematic review
    (2022) Velez Astudillo, Romulo Andres; Alvarado Cordero, Jacinto José; Bravo Torres, Wilson Daniel; Astudillo Rubio, Daniela Andrea; Fereno Caceres, Klever Alejandro
    Review question / Objective: - Does the osseodensification drilling technique increase primary stability in low-density bone? - The aim of the present investigation was to evaluate primary stability in dental implants in people with low density bone using the osseodensification technique. Condition being studied: The replacement of missing teeth through dental implants is currently the most practiced in dental clinics. The main criterion for determining the success of an implant is osseointegration, which is a direct structural and functional connection between vital bone and the prosthetic load-bearing surface of an implant. In the same way, primary stability must be obtained for a good lasting clinical result of the implant and to achieve this purpose, the bone density must be evaluated where the dental implant is to be placed. Salah Huwais in 2013 introduced a new osteotomy procedure (Oseodensification) for site preparation without removal and bone preservation. The Osseodensification process produces an autograft layer around the implant with the osteotomy surface, the autologous bone comes into contact through an endosteal device that accelerates osseointegration due to the nucleation of osteoblasts in the instrumented bone adjacent to the implant and has a greater primary stability due to contact between the device and the bone.

    Towards deep learning in the university through collaborative instructional design based on learning outcomes and threshold concepts
    (Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, 2022) Morales Ordoñez, Isaac Andres; Bravo Torres, Jack Fernando; Pérez Fernández, María Dolores; Bravo Torres, Wilson Daniel
    This article presents a proposal for the development of a collaborative curriculum and instructional design at the university. It starts from the premise that teaching-learning processes at any level of training must be designed, managed and implemented in a collaborative way, supported by teacher structures grouped around their domains of knowledge. Moreover, we consider as central axes of all curricular and instructional design a correct selection and structuring of the contents to be studied, based on the identification of the conceptual structures of the topics under study (threshold concepts and their interlinkages) together with an appropriate definition of the desired learning outcomes and evaluation tools.
