This study introduces a case-based learning model for dental students to enhance orthodontic problem-solving skills. The method improved students' confidence in clinical reasoning and decision-making abilities.

Area of Science:

  • Dental Education
  • Orthodontics
  • Clinical Reasoning

Background:

  • Traditional dental education models require enhancement for clinical decision-making.
  • Developing problem-solving skills is crucial for general dental practice.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a case-based, student-centered instructional model for orthodontic training.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of this model in improving dental students' clinical reasoning skills.

Main Methods:

  • A seminar format involving junior dental students in small groups.
  • Distribution of diagnostic data and guiding questions for advance preparation.
  • Student-led discussions with instructor facilitation and pre-defined evaluation criteria.

Main Results:

  • Both students and instructors rated the seminars positively.
  • Students reported significantly higher confidence in seven reasoning skills (p < 0.01).

Conclusions:

  • The case-based instructional model effectively enhances clinical reasoning in dental students.
  • This teaching approach is adaptable to other dental disciplines to foster better decision-making skills.
