Abstract: PURPOSE: To evaluate the effect of implant surgery live on undergraduate teaching of oral implantology. METHODS: The students who met the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into two groups. The experimental group used implant surgery live operation combined with traditional diadactical teaching, while the control group only used traditional diadactical teaching. The difference of teaching effect between the two groups was compared by questionnaire and theoretical examination. SPSS 17.0 software package was used for statistical analysis of the data. RESULTS: More than 93.8% of the students had excellent evaluation on the effect of surgery live, including the image clarity, interactivity and teaching quality. Surgery live significantly improved the students' interest in learning, understanding and memory of theoretical knowledge, and stimulated their motivation to continue learning(P<0.05). The results of theoretical assessment in the surgery live group were significantly higher than those in the experimental group(P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Surgery live can improve the teaching effect of undergraduate teaching of implantology.
