Abstract

BACKGROUND: In the recent years, the use of assessment or adjunct tools as a part of teaching has become more wide spread across medical and dental schools. Educators have sought different methods of teaching in the dental curriculum The present curriculum has changed from teacher-centred approaches to more student learner approaches. Lectures, discussions, computer assisted learning, audiovisual source, video based learning, demonstration and role play are different teaching methods employed in educational institutions. Of which, video based learning is a major contributor in dental education. But still there is no clear summary for the evidence for the most effective method of teaching. The aim of this study was to assess the most effective method of teaching dentistry to dental students when compared to video based education. SEARCH METHODOLOGY: The database search yielded 40 articles out of which only 28 articles were selected after title exclusion.Full texts were obtained for the remaining 14 articles. 10 articles were selected based on the inclusion criteria and 4 articles were excluded based on the abstract. The finally selected 10 articles were subjected to data extraction. Results: Overall the studies included in this systematic review, there appears to be no difference in the effectiveness of the teaching method over the others. But video based teaching has proved better outcome as an adjunct with the other teaching methods.
