“…This is in agreement with another report showing that dentistry students preferred e-Learning tools to higher-order learning activities [13]. The acceptance of the simulator techniques could not be correlated to previous usage of computers or previous experience of computer aided teaching, which might indicate that both simulation methods are user-friendly and not dependent on previous experience beyond what could be expected from dental students.…”

“…Thus, the student is not passively provided with the necessary data but has to acquire it by asking relevant questions, suggest correct physical examinations and laboratory/imaging tests. The system provides an optional built in feed-back at the end of each exercise [13]. In the current study the feed-back was performed by a teacher aided group discussion at the end of the session.…”

BackgroundYearly surveys among the undergraduate students in oral and maxillofacial surgery at Karolinska Institutet have conveyed a wish for increased clinical training, and in particular, in surgical removal of mandibular third molars. Due to lack of resources, this kind of clinical supervision has so far not been possible to implement. One possible solution to this problem might be to introduce simulation into the curriculum. The purpose of this study was to investigate undergraduate students' perception of two different simulation methods for practicing clinical reasoning skills and technical skills in oral and maxillofacial surgery.MethodsForty-seven students participating in the oral and maxillofacial surgery course at Karolinska Institutet during their final year were included. Three different oral surgery patient cases were created in a Virtual Patient (VP) Simulation system (Web-SP) and used for training clinical reasoning. A mandibular third molar surgery simulator with tactile feedback, providing hands on training in the bone removal and tooth sectioning in third molar surgery, was also tested. A seminar was performed using the combination of these two simulators where students' perception of the two different simulation methods was assessed by means of a questionnaire.ResultsThe response rate was 91.5% (43/47). The students were positive to the VP cases, although they rated their possible improvement of clinical reasoning skills as moderate. The students' perception of improved technical skills after training in the mandibular third molar surgery simulator was rated high. The majority of the students agreed that both simulation techniques should be included in the curriculum and strongly agreed that it was a good idea to use the two simulators in concert. The importance of feedback from the senior experts during simulator training was emphasised.ConclusionsThe two tested simulation methods were well accepted and most students agreed that the future curriculum would benefit from permanent inclusion of these exercises, especially when used in combination. The results also stress the importance of teaching technical skills and clinical reasoning in concert.

“…Boberick7 reported on the development and implementation of a web-enhanced interactive pre-clinical manual for a course on restorative techniques, and it successfully delivered information beyond the textual format. According to Handal et al,8 undergraduate students at dental colleges reported positive attitudes toward an LMS. Aly et al9 compared the effectiveness of an interactive multimedia courseware package versus standard lectures in orthodontics.…”

The development of a learning management system for dental radiology education: A technical report

et al. 2017

PurposeThis study was conducted to suggest the development of a learning management system for dental radiology education using the Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment (Moodle).Materials and MethodsMoodle is a well-known and verified open-source software-learning management system (OSS-LMS). The Moodle software was installed on a server computer and customized for dental radiology education. The system was implemented for teaching undergraduate students to diagnose dental caries in panoramic images. Questions were chosen that could assess students' diagnosis ability. Students were given several questions corre-sponding to each of 100 panoramic images.ResultsThe installation and customization of Moodle was feasible, cost-effective, and time-saving. By having students answer questions repeatedly, it was possible to train them to examine panoramic images sequentially and thoroughly.ConclusionBased on its educational efficiency and efficacy, the adaptation of an OSS-LMS in dental school may be highly recommended. The system could be extended to continuing education for dentists. Further studies on the objective evaluation of knowledge acquisition and retention are needed.
