Abstract:

As a basic technique of dental students, the extraction of impacted tooth is still a critical and difficult problem in oral and maxillofacial surgery. Most dental schools adopt the traditional teaching method based on "lecture-based learning" , which is not conducive to trigger the enthusiasm, initiative and clinical thinking of students, so that the learning outcome is unsatisfactory. In order to solve the problem, we introduced and analyzed the application effects of the traditional teaching method and a triple association teaching strategy (Case-based learning, Problem-based learning and Seminar teaching method) in the teaching of impacted tooth extraction, so as to explore the promoting role of the triple association teaching strategy in improving students′ academic performance, post competence and autonomous learning ability, and to provide a reference for the further reform of dental teaching.
