Summary
This study developed an online orthodontic e-course for dental students. The e-course was positively received as a supplementary learning resource, enhancing traditional orthodontic education.
Area of Science:
- Dental Education
- Orthodontics
- E-learning
Background:
- Traditional undergraduate orthodontic education faces challenges in delivering comprehensive content.
- Integrating digital resources can enhance student learning experiences.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and evaluate an online orthodontic e-course for undergraduate dental students.
- To assess the e-course's effectiveness and student satisfaction as a learning tool.
Main Methods:
- An orthodontic e-course was created with modules, a photo gallery, clinical consultations, glossary, and resources.
- Four lectures were converted into a web-based format using text, images, presentations, and animations.
- A questionnaire assessed student perceptions of course design, delivery, outcome, and teaching potential among 64 third-year dental students.
Main Results:
- Students responded positively to the e-course's design, delivery, and outcomes.
- The e-course was viewed as a supplement (86%) rather than a replacement for traditional methods.
- Most students (51.6%) advocated for integrating the e-course into the undergraduate curriculum.
Conclusions:
- Web-based orthodontic e-learning is a valuable supplement to traditional teaching.
- Student feedback indicates a positive perception of the e-course as a significant learning resource.

01:26Assessment of the Mouth
A thorough mouth assessment, including inspection and palpation of the lips, gums, tongue, tonsils, uvula, and pharynx, is crucial in detecting potential health issues. Diseases ranging from oral cancer to systemic conditions like diabetes could be identified early through careful oral examination. This article provides a detailed guide on conducting a comprehensive mouth assessment.
Mouth Inspection
The inspection begins with visually examining the mouth for symmetry, color, and size.
