L’accompagnement des élèves par le tutorat entre pairs
Authors: Connac Sylvain 
Published: February 2025

L’acte d’apprendre est une activité individuelle facilitée par la relation à d’autres. C’est en ce sens que la coopération peut être envisagée comme une modalité d’accompagnement des élèves vers leurs apprentissages. Cet article témoigne de recherches qualitatives et compréhensives sur le tutorat entre pairs, au sein d’écoles primaires et de collèges français. Des entretiens d’autoconfrontation avec des élèves qui participent à du tutorat entre pairs ont permis de collecter leur parole et de souligner plusieurs réalités phénoménologiques : des stratégies utilisées par des élèves tuteurs, des effets sur les tuteurs et sur les tutorés ainsi que des vigilances pédagogiques nouvelles. Parmi elles se trouvent une initiative de l’aide par les élèves qui en ressentent le besoin, une formation préalable des élèves, un équilibre entre temps individuels et temps personnels et un lien de réciprocité entre les fonctions de tuteur et de tutoré. Ces conditions sur l’organisation du tutorat entre élèves amélioreraient l’accompagnement des élèves.
Articuler théorie-pratique dans la formation au métier d’enseignant en France : épreuves et points de vue d’étudiants sur leur accompagnement
Authors: Maleyrot Eric 
Published: February 2025

En France, une nouvelle réforme de la formation initiale des enseignants s’est mise en place à la rentrée 2021. Dans cette période de changement, cet article examine l’accompagnement des étudiants à l’articulation théorie-pratique. Le cadre théorique mobilise les notions d’accompagnement à travers les différentes figures du « tiers » (Paul, 2009 ; 2011), celle de projet de professionnalisation (Kaddouri, 2006) et celle d’épreuve (Martuccelli, 2006). La méthode qualitative analyse le contenu des propos recueillis lors d’entretiens compréhensifs de trois étudiants en deuxième année de master, au profil contrasté. Les résultats exposent ce qu’ils disent de leur accompagnement. Ils révèlent un système de trois épreuves plus ou moins intenses, fonction de la présence ou non des figures du « tiers » dans les différents lieux de formation et de l’écart entre leur projet personnel de professionnalisation et le projet institutionnel de formation.
Se former à la participation par la « recherche avec » : une mise à l’épreuve de la réciprocité des savoirs
Authors: Rougerie Corinne 
Published: February 2025

Cet article propose d’aborder la visée formative de la dynamique participative en contexte de recherche entre et avec les acteurs concernés, par le biais d’une pratique ancrée en socio-clinique institutionnelle. Ce questionnement s’étaye à partir d’une démarche nommée « recherche-action collaborative » dans le secteur associatif de la protection de l’enfance. Il s’appuie sur l’une des modalités du dispositif pédagogique à partir de ses enjeux et ses limites : l’analyse collective d’écrits de travail, comme espace formatif. Cette situation de « recherche avec » implique des manières d’intervenir singulières induisant des collaborations entre les chercheurs, associés eux-mêmes en collectif, pour mobiliser d’autres collectifs. Apprendre à coopérer se pense à tous les niveaux de l’intervention, ne se décrète pas, et se dévoile dans la capacité à coconstruire ensemble, à un moment donné. La prise en compte des implications des acteurs en présence dans la manière de penser l’intervention crée des associations de travail plus ou moins participatives et créatrices de transformations. Comment ces transformations des savoirs sont-elles facilitées ou non à partir de la manière dont les acteurs en présence sont impliqués dans le processus de recherche ?
Exploring the feasibility of near-infrared spectroscopy in analyzing and predicting the chemical and biochemical changes of chitin-amended soils

Published: February 2025

Chitin, a natural polymer, has been added to soil to enhance plant resistance to pathogens, yet its impact on soil’s chemical and biochemical properties remains unclear. Standard methods to measure these properties are often slow and labor-intensive. This study aimed to assess pH, total DNA, chitinase activity, and trpB gene DNA targeting for the identification of pathogen Streptomyces scabies in chitin-treated soil using both conventional wet chemical analysis methods and near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy for rapid measurement. Five soil groups were treated with varying chitin levels (control, 0.2% and 2% fungus chitin, 0.2% and 2% Sigma chitin) and sampled every 9 days over 122 days. NIR reflectance spectra (900-1,685 nm) from the soil samples were acquired at each sampling time. Partial least squares regression models were developed using preprocessing methods like Kubelka-Munk, second derivative, and smoothed data. The second derivative model for 900-1,660 nm yielded high predictive accuracy with R² values of 0.915, 0.892, and 0.810 for pH, total DNA, and trpB gene DNA respectively. This study demonstrates the potential of NIR spectroscopy coupled with partial least squares algorithms as a rapid, cost-effective method for estimating soil biochemical properties.

Published: February 2025

Abstract

Aim:
The study aimed to evaluate and compare the apical sealing ability of three bioceramic sealers, i.e., BioRoot RCS, CeraSeal, and Bio-C sealer, using sealer-based obturation method after immersion in simulated body fluid (SBF).

Methodology:
Eighty-eight extracted single-rooted mandibular premolars with mature apices and straight root canals were selected. Teeth were decoronated at 12 mm length from the apex. They were divided into 4 groups according to the sealer used (n = 22), i.e., control group (Group 1) – AH Plus (obturated using warm vertical compaction [WVC] technique) and experimental groups – Group 2 (BioRoot RCS), Group 3 (CeraSeal), and Group 4 (Bio-C sealer) (obturated using single-cone technique). Specimens in each group were further divided into two subgroups (n = 11) – Subgroup 1 (evaluation after 48 h) and Subgroup 2 (evaluation after immersion in SBF for 30 days). A dye penetration test was used for microleakage analysis using a stereomicroscope (10×). The collected data were statistically analyzed.

Results:
After 48 h, the control group showed the least microleakage, and the difference was statistically significant compared to all experimental groups. After immersion in SBF for 30 days, no significant difference in microleakage was seen among all the groups.

Conclusion:
The sealing ability of the bioceramic sealers with single-cone obturation when exposed to the SBF improved significantly after 30 days and was comparable to AH Plus using the WVC obturation technique. Thus, single-cone obturation with bioceramic sealers can be considered a viable alternative.

Published: February 2025

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of glycolic acid (GA) as a chelating agent on the removal of smear layers and the microhardness of root dentin. This review followed Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines, and study quality was assessed using a modified Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) tool. Two authors independently conducted an electronic search across four databases, supplemented by examining the reference lists of the included articles. A total of five in-vitro studies having variable concentrations (5%, 10%, and 17%) of GA were chosen for this review. Two articles include microhardness and smear layer removal together, two deal with microhardness, and one deals with smear layer removal. The included studies revealed a low overall risk of bias owing to the variability among the studies; the analysis was limited to qualitative assessment, with no meta-analysis performed. Based on the findings, various concentrations of GA (5%, 10%, and 17%) can be considered alternatives for smear layer removal with less impact on root dentin microhardness. However, further studies with proper standardization are required to confirm the effects on root dentin.

Abstract

Context:
Evaluating the efficacy of sonic activation in root canal cleaning using an Endocator adenosine triphosphate (ATP) tester.

Aim:
The aim of this study was to assess the cleaning efficacy of needle irrigation and sonic activation by measuring ATP values and colony-forming units (CFUs) during root canal procedure.

Settings and Design:
The design of the study is an in vitro study.

Materials and Methods:
Eighty (n = 80) extracted mandibular molars were selected, and distal root canals were enlarged to F2 with ProTaper Gold rotary files. Canals were rinsed with 2 mL of 5.25% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), 2 mL of 17% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, and 2 mL of distilled water. Samples are sterilized, Enterococcus faecalis is inoculated and incubated at 37° for 4 weeks. Baseline ATP values and CFU are measured. Samples are divided into four groups of n = 20 and are irrigated. Group 1:2 mL of distilled water for 30 s. Group 2: 2 mL of distilled water activated with SmartLite Pro EndoActivator (SLP-EA) for 30 s. Group 3: 2 mL of 1% NaOCl for 30 s. Group 4: 2 mL of 1% NaOCl activated with SLP-EA for 30 s. The irrigation procedure was repeated for nine cycles. ATP values and CFU are recorded after each cycle. Friedman, Kruskal–Wallis, Wilcoxon, and Tukey’s post hoc tests are used for statistical evaluation.

Results:
A significant decrease in ATP values and CFU from baseline to residual level is observed in all groups (P ≤ 0.05). Microbial load reduction is significant in Group 4, followed by Groups 2 and 3.

Conclusions:
1% NaOCl + SLP-EA showed better efficacy by recording lower ATP values and CFU.

Authors: Yadav Rakesh Kumar , Jasrasaria Neha , Tiwari Rini , Verma Umesh Pratap 
Published: February 2025

Abstract

Background:
Preserving pulp vitality is crucial for maintaining tooth function and structure. Vital pulp therapy uses pulp capping agents to promote pulp healing and regeneration.

Aims:
This study evaluated the outcomes of four different pulp capping agents.

Materials and Methods:
One hundred and twenty patients were randomly assigned to four groups: G1 – calcium hydroxide (CH), G2 – growth factor (Recombinant human Platelet-Derived Growth Factor-BB + Beta-Tricalcium Phosphate (rh-PDGF-bb+ βTCP)), G3 – Biodentine, and G4 – Cissus quadrangularis (CQ). After caries removal, the agents were applied to the exposed pulp, sealed with glass ionomer cement, and restored with composite. Clinical and radiographic follow-ups were conducted at 1, 6, and 12 months, and the data were statistically analyzed.

Results:
The highest success rate was observed in the growth factor group (96.7%), followed by Biodentine (93.3%), CQ (90%), and CH (80%). However, the differences among groups were not statistically significant (P > 0.05). Dentin bridge formation was the most frequent in the growth factor group (76.67%), and treatment failures were more common in patients over 40 years.

Conclusion:
Growth factor (rh-PDGF-bb + βTCP) demonstrated the highest success rate, positioning it as a superior alternative to CH. CQ also showed potential as an effective pulp capping agent, warranting further investigation.

Published: February 2025

Abstract

Context:
This study compares one-step and two-step mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) pulpotomy techniques in treating symptomatic irreversible pulpitis (SIP) in mature molars over 12 months.

Aims:
To compare the clinical efficacy of one-step versus two-step MTA pulpotomy in mature permanent teeth with SIP.

Setting and Design:
This clinical trial involved 30 patients with SIP in mandibular molars, comparing one-step and two-step MTA pulpotomy.

Methodology:
Thirty patients (aged 15–35) with SIP in mandibular molars were randomly assigned to two groups: one-step MTA pulpotomy (n = 15), with final restoration in the same visit, and two-step MTA pulpotomy (n = 15), with interim restoration followed by final restoration after 24 h. Pain levels were assessed using the Numerical Rating Scale at 24, 48, and 72 h postoperatively. Clinical and radiographic follow-ups were performed at 3, 6, and 12 months to assess pulpal vitality, restoration quality, and treatment success.

Statistical Analysis:
The results were analyzed statistically using the independent t-test, Fisher’s exact test, and Pearson’s Chi-square test.

Results:
Both groups showed significant pain reduction (P < 0.05) and 100% success at 12 months. Electric pulp tests were positive in all teeth, with 73.33% responding to cold testing. Restoration quality showed no significant differences between groups.

Conclusion:
Both one-step and two-step MTA pulpotomy techniques showed high success rates in treating SIP in mature molars, with no significant difference. The one-step method is an effective alternative to the two-step approach.
An epidemiological study of dentition status, treatment needs and correlation with the dietary and oral hygiene practices among school-going children population of West Bengal
Authors: Mazumdar Paromita , Das Utpal Kumar 
Published: February 2025

Abstract

Introduction:
The global burden of disease study 2016 estimated that oral diseases affected 3.58 billion people with dental caries. Severe tooth loss and total edentulous condition have been reported as one of the leading causes of years lived with disability in some high-income countries. Oral health inadequacies exist among and between different population groups, and social determinants have a strong impact on oral health. The World Health Organization (WHO) defines oral health as “a state of being free from chronic mouth and facial pain, oral infections and sores, periodontal diseases, tooth decay, tooth loss and other disorders and diseases that limit individual capacity in biting, chewing, smiling, speaking and psychosocial well-being.” National Oral Health Survey Report 2004 states that caries prevalence in India was 51.9%, 53.8%, and 63.1% at 5, 12, and 15 years, respectively. Literature on-caries research in eastern India is few, and reports related to West Bengal are sparse with respect to the dentition status and treatment needs.

Aim:
To assess dentition status, treatment needs, and their association with diet and oral hygiene practices among school-going children population of West Bengal.

Methods:
The survey was carried out after obtaining institutional ethics clearance. The state of West Bengal was divided into three zones, and random sampling method was employed to examine students using the WHO questionnaire and achieve the target sample size of based on the formula N = 4pq/L2 and a sample size of 784 per zone.

Results:
Significant Caries Index of 2352 respondents has been found to be 5.57 in this study, and the mean DMFT is 2.34. There was need for one surface filling in 384 (34.3%) children from Zone 1, 360 (32.1%) from Zone 2, and 377 (33.6%) from Zone 3. The need for two surface fillings was observed as 200 (32.4%) children from Zone 1, 223 (36.1%) from Zone 2, and 194 (31.4%) children from Zone 3. The association of brushing versus caries prevalence was not statistically significant (P = 0.0601).

Conclusion:
Caries prevalence was found to be 53.3% in this study. The difference in caries prevalence across the zones is not statistically significant. Toothbrush and paste twice a day is used mostly as oral hygiene aid.

Authors: Vig Neha , Gaikwad Kapila , Ansari Yar Mohammad 
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACT

Background:
Recent research over the past few decades has highlighted a link between vitamin D levels and cardiovascular risk factors, particularly blood pressure. The current investigation sought to assess whether serum vitamin D levels are related to blood pressure within Indian population.

Methods:
This observational cross-sectional study included 600 participants (300 cases with hypertension and 300 controls). Inclusion criteria were patients aged 20-70 years with hypertension, while individuals with secondary hypertension, chronic kidney disease, or chronic liver disease were excluded. Blood pressure was measured using a mercury sphygmomanometer. Vitamin D levels were analyzed using automated analyzers.

Results:
A weak but statistically significant negative association between serum vitamin D levels and blood pressure was found.

Conclusion:
Lower serum vitamin D levels were associated with higher systolic blood pressure. It can be suggested that vitamin D exerts an influence on blood pressure, supporting the hypothesis of VDR hypersensitivity.

ABSTRACT

Background:
Limited knowledge and negative attitudes toward modern temporary family planning methods remain significant barriers to reproductive health. Nurse-led interventions play a crucial role in improving awareness and acceptance of these methods among reproductive-age women.

Objective:
This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a nurse-led intervention in enhancing knowledge and attitudes toward modern temporary family planning methods among reproductive-age women in Choolai, Chennai.

Methods:
A quasi-experimental study design was employed, involving 120 participants divided into experimental and control groups. Pre- and post-intervention data were collected using structured questionnaires. The intervention included educational sessions led by nurses focusing on various temporary family planning methods. Statistical analyses, including paired Student’s t-tests, were conducted to assess improvements in knowledge and attitudes.

Results:
The intervention led to a substantial increase in adequate knowledge (from 16.67% to 75%) and positive attitudes (from 25% to 70%) in the experimental group, while minimal changes were observed in the control group. The mean pre-test knowledge score was 8.23 (SD = 2.56), which significantly increased to 15.15 (SD = 0.95) post-intervention (t = 31.30, P = 0.001). Similarly, the mean pre-test attitude score improved from 45.83 (SD = 5.83) to 79.48 (SD = 3.32) post-intervention (t = 35.46, P = 0.001). A statistically significant association was observed between demographic factors such as age, husbands’ age, education level (graduated women), and regular menstrual cycles with post-test knowledge and attitude levels.

Conclusion:
The findings highlight the effectiveness of nurse-led interventions in improving reproductive health education. Integrating such educational programs into community healthcare services can significantly enhance family planning awareness and acceptance, ultimately contributing to better reproductive health outcomes.
