Virtual microscopy (VM) is being widely implemented in education and could lead to the replacement of light microscopy (LM). Objective: To provide a review of the literature based on the questions: What is the perception of academics and students? and What is the performance of students? regarding the teaching of histology and/or histopathology with VM in dentistry. Material and methods: The following databases were consulted: Pubmed, Scielo, Science Direct and Scopus, and 10 articles were selected. Results: All the studies that evaluated perception and academic performance obtained results in favor of VM. Conclusions: VM has a promising future, but more studies with similar methodologies and that consider the perception of academics are required.

The nutritional status (NS) of a child is important since there are essential nutrients needed for the development of craniofacial structures that, when low, compromise the body. One way to monitor and prevent the effects of malnutrition is with the age-appropriate anthropometric assessment (height-for-age) and BMI-for-age. Objec- tive: Determine the association between delayed eruption (DE) of permanent teeth and NS in children aged 6 to 12 years from the districts of Canchaque and San Miguel de El Faique at the months of June and July 2018. Material and methods: 354 children aged 6 to 12 years old from the districts of Canchaque and San Miguel de El Faique are examined and the sociodemographic variables, NS and DE are recorded. Prevalences are analyzed and assessed for associations. Variables are reported in frequency tables and associated NS with DE through contingency tables and cal...
