Summary
Dental students found the Poll Everywhere® app enhanced Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology teaching. This interactive system improved engagement, self-assessment, and student-teacher interaction, making classes more dynamic.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Dental Education
- Digital Learning Technologies
Background:
- Traditional teaching methods in Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology may lack student engagement.
- Interactive web-based response systems offer potential for dynamic learning environments.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate dental students' perceptions and adherence to an interactive web-based response system (Poll Everywhere®) in Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology education.
- To assess the impact of this technology on student engagement, self-assessment, and interaction.
Main Methods:
- A cohort of 123 dental students at a Brazilian dental school used Poll Everywhere® during an Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology course (2018-2019).
- Student perceptions were gathered via a 10-question questionnaire at the end of the semester.
Main Results:
- Over 95% of students used smartphones for the app.
- 98.4% agreed the system improved teacher's overview of understanding and 99.2% felt more engaged.
- 96.7% found the digital method more attractive than conventional teaching.
Conclusions:
- The Poll Everywhere® app significantly enhances the educational environment for Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology.
- This technology promotes a more dynamic, attractive, and interactive learning experience for dental students.
- High student satisfaction and engagement suggest the value of integrating such digital tools in pathology education.

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.

Assessing the gastrointestinal (GI) system is a complex process that begins with collecting subjective data. This data, collected through patient interviews, provides crucial insights into the patient's health history, perception patterns, and lifestyle habits, all contributing significantly to GI health.
Health Perception Patterns
Health perception patterns offer valuable insights into a patient's lifestyle habits and how they may impact their GI health. These patterns include:

1.8K
Evaluation of the teaching process enables the nurse to determine if the patient's learning needs were met and if training was effective. If the expected outcomes are not met, the care plan is revised, and additional education or reinforcement is provided. Nurses can ask questions after the session or obtain feedback to assess the patient's understanding of the topic.
Nurses can use several methods to evaluate patient outcomes. For example, oral questions can assess cognitive learning,...
