Enhancing Tooth Reduction Skill in Fixed Prosthodontics Using Case-Based Learning Among Dental Students

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of CBL compared to traditional lecture-demonstration methods in enhancing the foundational knowledge and practical tooth reduction skills of dental students in fixed prosthodontics. Participants were assigned to an experimental group (n=30) receiving four weekly 90-minute CBL sessions and a control group (n=30) receiving traditional lectures and clinical demonstrations

Inclusion criteria

  • Undergraduate preclinical dental students enrolled in the fixed prosthodontics course.
  • Students who agreed to participate and provided informed consent.

Exclusion criteria

  • Students who had previously received formal training in case-based learning (CBL) methodology.
  • Students with more than 25% absence rate in regular prosthodontics classes.
  • Students who had previously failed the fixed prosthodontics course.
  • Individuals with physical limitations that might affect their performance in practical assessments.

Treatment and study plan

Case-Based Learning (CBL)

Behavioral

A structured case-based learning approach was used to support active learning, clinical reasoning, and application of theoretical knowledge during fixed prosthodontics teaching sessions.

Conventional Teaching

Behavioral

Traditional lecture-based teaching delivered as part of the standard fixed prosthodontics curriculum.

Primary outcomes

  1. Theoretical knowledge examination score

    Time frame: At the end of the educational intervention (up to 4 weeks)

    Students' theoretical knowledge in teeth preparation in fixed prsothdontics was assessed using scores obtained from a structured written theoretical examination (score range: 0-10), where higher scores indicate better theoretical knowledge. The examination was conducted as part of the course assessment.
