A pilot study using remote broadcasting equipment to provide instruction in pedodontics

This study investigates the value of remote broadcasting equipment in instruction in pedodontics. Twenty students, between their junior and senior years, were randomly chosen and videotaped during an operative dentistry appointment with a child. Ten students reviewed and critiqued their own tapes immediately after the clinic session. Ten students received instruction using remote broadcasting equipment in an attempt to provide cues and immediate feedback. Results indicate the usefulness of remote broadcasting equipment as a new pedagogic technique in pedodontics.
