Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of an interactive education approach in oral and maxillofacial radiology for dentists, utilizing the online interactive educational program Mentimeter. Method: Seven continuing education sessions for dentists in oral and maxillofacial radiology were conducted employing Mentimeter. Following these sessions, surveys gauged participants’ responses to the learning method and its effectiveness. The questionnaire comprised 20 questions categorized into convenience, active learning, academic achievement, time management, and lecture quality. Result: Among about 300 participants, 222 responded to the survey, with 74 (33.3%) having prior experience in similar education. Across categories of active learning, academic achievement, and lecture quality, participants consistently rated the method with an average score exceeding 4 out of 5, indicating a highly positive response. Statistically significant gender differences were observed in 9 out of 20 questions, with female respondents providing more positive evaluations than males. Respondents without prior similar education reported enhanced focus and understanding compared to those with experience. No statistically significant differences were observed in other survey questions. Conclusion: In the realm of continuing education in oral and maxillofacial radiology for dentists, the interactive educational program Mentimeter emerges as an effective tool, fostering positive academic achievements through active learning.
