Abstract

Aim: Undergraduate dental education has been an important issue on oral surgery and there have been many tools to improve the skills of dental students. The aim of this study was to assess two different teaching methods on oral surgery for undergraduate dental education.
Material and Methods: A total of 84 third-year dental students without any declared previous experience on surgery were divided into two groups. Group 1 was given a lecture and slide presentation regarding the extraction of teeth 17 and 37. Group 2 received a demonstration of tooth extraction performed on the plastic skull model in addition to lecture and slide presentation. Baseline knowledge was measured using a questionnaire that consisted of 14-item check list. Data analysis was carried out using the SPSS (version 15) statistical software package. One-Sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and Kruskal Wallis test were performed for the statistical assessment.
Results: Group 2 presented statistically significant better learning scores. Demonstration was determined to be related with higher scores.
Conclusions: The present study reveals that demonstration is more beneficial in teaching basic surgical skills for tooth extraction. Thus, teaching methods are suggested to be performed with demonstration in the preclinical educational programs.

Abstract

Amaç: Diş hekimliği eğitiminde oral cerrahinin yeri önemlidir ve diş hekimliği öğrencilerinin becerilerini geliştirmek için pek çok yöntem mevcuttur. Bu çalışmanın amacı diş hekimliği eğitiminde oral cerrahide iki farklı öğretim yönteminin değerlendirilmesidir.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: Daha önce oral cerrahi deneyimi olmayan toplam 84 üçüncü sınıf öğrencisi iki gruba ayrıldı. Grup 1’e 17 ve 37 nolu dişlerin çekimi ile ilgili bir ders ve slayt sunumu yapıldı. Grup 2’ye ders ve slayt sunumuna ek olarak kafatası modeli üzerinde diş çekimi demonstrasyonu yapıldı. Temel bilgi kazanımı 14 maddelik kontrol listesinden oluşan bir anket kullanılarak ölçüldü. Veri analizi SPSS (Sürüm 15) istatistik yazılım paketi kullanılarak gerçekleştirildi. İstatistiksel değerlendirme için Kolmogorov Smirnov tek örnek testi ve Kruskal Wallis testi kullanıldı.
Bulgular: Grup 2’de istatistiksel olarak daha anlamlı öğrenme skorları gözlendi. Demonstrasyonun daha yüksek öğrenme skorları ile ilişkili olduğu belirlendi.
Sonuçlar: Bu çalışma diş çekimi için temel cerrahi becerilerin öğretilmesinde model üzerinde yapılan demonstrasyonun daha yararlı olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Bu nedenle, öğretim yöntemlerinin klinik öncesi eğitim programlarında demonstrasyon ile gerçekleştirilmesi önerilmektedir.
