As global migration rises, dental professionals must be prepared to treat refugee communities' particular oral health needs, emphasizing the need of education and training in readiness to treat these underserved groups. ⋯ The DPH field study course positively influenced students' knowledge, experience, and willingness to provide care for refugee patients. Moreover, volunteering to participate in oral health care programs was positively correlated with a professional satisfaction and female gender. Further research involving a larger and more diverse group of students from different faculties is recommended to validate these findings.

Comparative Study
Comparison of the Accuracy and Precision of Digital Scans for Implant-Supported Maxillary Hybrid Prosthesis: An in vitro Study.
Numerous intraoral scanners (IOS) devices are currently used for intraoral impressions in prosthodontics. It is crucial to assess the accuracy and precision of these devices for clinical use. ⋯ IOS can be used to make dental impressions within the all-on-4 concept. More comprehensive and clinical studies are needed on this subject.

This study investigates the association between the presence of diverticula in the colon and esophagus and the occurrence of hiatal hernia, seeking to understand potential shared pathophysiological underpinnings and risk factors. ⋯ The study demonstrates a notable association between hiatal hernias and the presence of both colonic and esophageal diverticula, suggesting common pathophysiological processes. These findings highlight the need for further research into shared risk factors and mechanisms underlying these conditions, potentially guiding improved management strategies for affected patients.
