Abstract

Abstract: PURPOSE: Using Proplan virtual software to construct a virtual teaching platform for orthognathic surgery, and to explore an effective teaching model for orthognathic surgery. METHODS: One-hundred grade four students of stomatology in Fujian Medical University were divided into two groups. Traditional orthognathic surgery teaching method and Proplan virtual software teaching method were employed to teach the two groups of students, respectively. Orthognathic-surgery-related paper test was used to evaluate how the two groups of students understand orthognathic surgery; then the students were switched to the other teaching method, respectively. A follow-up questionnaire survey was conducted to further evaluate students' acceptance of the two teaching methods. Finally, a comprehensive statistical analysis was performed for students understanding of orthognathic surgery using SPSS 11.0 software package. RESULTS: According to the test scores, students in the experimental group scored higher than the control group, the difference was significant (P<0.01). The acceptance of different teaching methods displayed remarkable difference between the two groups. Token together, our finding showed that virtual model surgery teaching was an easier teaching method for students to understand and accept. CONCLUSIONS: Proplan virtual software teaching improves the teaching efficiency of orthognathic surgery and deserves further promotion.
