The Effectiveness of Live and Prerecorded Video Demonstrations in Teaching Restorative Dentistry to Undergraduate Students: Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Mastering complex psychomotor skills is essential in undergraduate dental education; however, traditional live demonstrations (LDs) face limitations such as high instructor-to-student ratios and restricted viewing angles. Prerecorded video demonstrations (VDs) offer scalable, repeatable instructions and the ability to integrate multimedia cues but may lack real-time interaction and immediate feedback. There is limited evidence comparing these teaching modalities, particularly regarding gender differences, in the acquisition of restorative dentistry skills.

Objective

This study aimed to (1) compare first-year dental students' knowledge acquisition and procedural performance following a LD versus a prerecorded VD of a class II amalgam restoration and (2) evaluate wh
