Abstract
The present dental education is using didactic teaching method, which is teacher-centered with minimal or no active participation from the students. Case-based learning (CBL) is defined as learning that is based upon description of a patient’s problems, analysis and interpretation of all the relevant data obtained from history, examination and investigations and planning for further management of patient. The goal of CBL is to prepare students for clinical practice, by linking theory using authentic clinical cases and its application using inquiry-based technique in learning. There is a scarcity of information about educational benefits and practicality of Clinical Case Based Demonstration in our local setup. Method: The present cross-sectional questionnaire study was conducted after getting ethical approval and written informed consent. The subjects were final year BDS students (40) and were divided into groups of 20 each (following odd-even method). The subjects were taught regarding apical barrier formation technique for premature tooth. For Group A – the didactic lecture was conducted and for Group B, demonstration was given in same manner. A questionnaire consisting of 15 questions was formulated. Analysis was done using SPSS software and Chi-square test. Results: All the subjects from both groups answered that Clinical Case Based Demonstration strengthens the link between theory and clinical practice. Conclusion: It can be concluded that incorporation of case-based learning in the undergraduate curriculum would enhance critical thinking skills and boost overall students’ confidence in diagnosis as well as performing the clinical treatment.
