A pilot study of digital technology combined with case-based learning in clinical implantology training for specialists.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To explore the feasibility and potential benefits of combining digital technology with case-based learning (CBL) in teaching clinical knowledge and skills in implantology for oral and maxillofacial surgery specialists.

Methods

Six attending doctors without previous implant training were enrolled as the experimental group and received a training program that combined digital navigation technology with CBL. Post-course theoretical and procedural scores were assessed, and trainees' satisfaction was recorded. Outcomes were descriptively compared with scores of doctors who had previously completed traditional specialist training, and the preliminary nature of this comparison was acknowledged.

Results

The experimental group demonstrated significant improvement in
