Objective: The aim of this study was to observe students’ perspective regarding the role of internet-based education as a
supplementing tool in dental education.
Study Design and Setting: A cross-sectional survey was designed and carried out among the dental students of Margalla
Institute of Health Sciences, Rawalpindi in March 2018.
Methodology: Approximately two hundred and five regular undergraduate dental students of 2nd, 3rd and final year BDS
were included with an overall response rate of 100%. A self-administered close-ended questionnaire was used regarding
the student’s perspective of using internet based educational videos during their course of dental education. Data was
analyzed using SPSS version .24. Descriptive statistics was calculated.Chisquare test was used. P<0.05 was taken as
significant.
Result: Majority of the students (97.6%) considered internet based dental educational videos (IBDEVs) was a significant
supplementing tool in dental education and agreed that the knowledge gained by internet based dental educational videos
was retainable and reproducible. A greater frequency of students (88.8%) searched for videos based on clinical procedures
than those for theory-based topics. No significant difference was observed between males and females as well as students
of different years regarding opinion about significance of IBDEVs and their frequency of use (P>.05).
Conclusion: Internet based dental educational videos (IBDEVs) were used as a beneficial supplementing tool by dental
undergraduate students to enhance their understanding of a topic and improve overall learning.
