ASSESSMENT OF THE PRACTICAL CLASSES DEDICATED TO ORAL AND FACIAL TRAUMA FOR THE 4-YEAR STUDENTS OF THE DEPARTMENT OF DENTISTRY OF BUKOVINIAN STATE MEDICAL UNIVERSITY

Abstract

Work education program of the subject “Dental surgery” for the 4-year students of the Department of Dentistry of BSMU deals with the topic “Oral and Facial Trauma”. During practical classes students study head and neck injuries which often occur in the structure of dental diseases. Due to the fact that the educational material is quite difficult for perception and learning students have difficulties in mastering it. Usually, while answering or writing tests students make mistakes in choosing the treatment tactics of the oral facial injuries, which is exactly the treatment scheme and the surgical sutures choice. That’s why it’s necessary to develop new creative methods of the material explanation for the students’ better perception and mastering. The research deals with the use of active education methods to provide a high-quality material mastering.
