Digital multimedia instruction enhances teaching oral and maxillofacial suturing

J M Weaver et al. J Calif Dent Assoc. 2009 Dec.

Abstract

Objective: To develop digital multimedia instruction on intraoral suturing.

Methods: A DVD was developed to describe instruments, materials, and techniques. Two groups of dental students were asked to close an incision in a simulated model. One used written materials only and another used additional DVD. The performance was evaluated using 10 grading criteria.

Result: Students who used the DVD performed better than students who did not.

Conclusion: This DVD could be used widely in teaching dental students.
