    Combining computer-assisted self-evaluation (CASE) modules with seminars improved dental students' endodontic problem-solving skills more than seminars alone or no intervention. All methods showed learning gains, but no single method was superior for improvement.

    Area of Science:

    • Dental Education
    • Endodontics
    • Medical Simulation

    Background:

    • Effective pedagogical approaches are crucial for developing advanced clinical skills in dental students.
    • Endodontic problem-solving requires integrating theoretical knowledge with practical application.
    • Evaluating novel educational tools is essential for enhancing dental curricula.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the impact of computer-assisted self-evaluation (CASE) modules and seminars on third-year dental students' endodontic problem-solving abilities.
    • To compare the effectiveness of combined CASE modules and seminars versus CASE modules alone, seminars alone, and a control group.

    Main Methods:

    • Third-year dental students were divided into groups receiving different instructional methods: seminars only, CASE modules only, combined seminars and CASE modules, or a control.

  • Endodontic problem-solving skills were assessed using pre- and post-instruction tests.
  • Gain scores were analyzed to evaluate learning improvement across different instructional groups.

    • Main Results:

    • Students using combined seminars and CASE modules showed significantly better problem-solving abilities than the control group and the seminars-only group.
    • No significant difference was found between the combined group and the CASE modules-only group.
    • All instructional groups demonstrated significant learning improvement from pretest to post-test, with no single method proving superior for facilitating this gain.

    Conclusions:

    • A combination of seminars and CASE modules is an effective strategy for enhancing endodontic problem-solving skills in dental students.
    • CASE modules alone also show promise, comparable to the combined approach.
    • Further research may be needed to identify the most effective methods for maximizing learning gains in endodontic education.
