Education in the 21st century has been modernised by the use of advanced technologies in enhancing student learning through active engagement in the learning process. It also significantly increased educational productivity by reducing costs associated with the design and delivery of the curriculum and effective utilisation of faculty teaching time.
Given the enormous amount of research in the field of use of technology in clinical practice and education, it is essential for dental educators to stay abreast of the latest developments on the use of advanced technologies to improve clinical skills and teaching methodologies and its’ potential impact on the ultimate patient care.
