The impact of computers in dental education.

Computer technology is increasingly influencing many aspects of our lives and will continue to do so in the future. This paper discusses the impact of computers in dentistry; how their use is radically changing the way practices are run and the way under/postgraduate dental education is evolving, by incorporating computer-aided learning (CAL) material as an efficient and convenient educational tool. Greater computer literacy may result in a future where there is a shift away from traditional centres of learning to computer conferencing and distance learning.

Computer assisted learning (CAL) of oral manifestations of HIV disease.

General dental practitioners (GDPs) in the UK may wish additional education on relevant aspects of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) disease. The aim of the present study was to develop and assess a computer assisted learning package on the oral manifestations of HIV disease of relevance to GDPs. A package was developed using a commercially-available software development tool and assessed by a group of 75 GDPs interested in education and computers. Fifty-four (72%) of the GDPs completed a self-administered questionnaire of their opinions of the package. The majority reported the package to be easy to load and run, that it provided clear instructions and displays, and that it was a more effective educational tool than videotapes, audiotapes, professional journals and textbooks, and of similar benefit as post-graduate courses. The GDPs often commented favourably on the effectiveness of the clinical images and use of questions and answers, although some had criticisms of these and other aspects of the package. As a consequence of this investigation the package has been modified and distributed to GDPs in England and Wales.
