Teaching undergraduate students of dentistry consists of lectures, seminars and practical exercises. It also includes the participation of students in the operating room, where they assist during the procedures. The operators are trying to show students the greatest possible number of different procedures, but for operational reasons, only two students can be present at time. This greatly reduces the number of those who can directly observe the surgeon during the procedure. Good visualization along with theoretical knowledge are essential to the acquisition of surgical practices.
The aim of the project was to create a multimedia classroom connected to the operating theater, enabling students of dentistry watch live surgeries. Students have the opportunity to enter their questions into a discussion with members of the operating team. The surgeon can get immediate feedback from students.
The project improves and expands educational opportunities for students of dental medicine at our faculty.
Interactive operating theatre helps to educete greather number of students of medicine and improves the impact of the education.
