COVID-19大流行在最初传播时实际上阻止了大多数人类活动和活动，其中包括牙科实践和牙科教育。这就表明，需要通过使用“电子学习”方法，对教学和培训进行重大改革。这项研究的目的是确定这些新方法作为他们的教育的一部分，本科生的看法。这涉及353名学生参加牙科学校的G。Chieti-Pescara的D 'Annunzio大学，从一年级到六年级。用意大利语编写了一份问卷，使用“谷歌表格”设置，并通过电子邮件发送给学生。问卷分为三个部分：第一部分包括一般信息问题，包括年龄，性别和课程年份;第二部分有多项选择问题，涉及他们对电子学习教学的评价，在回答每个问题时使用意见量表（例如，第三部分包括两个开放性问题，以显示这些新的教与学方法的优点和局限。使用卡方检验评估问卷第一和第二部分中的分类变量，将显著性设置为p < 0.05，同时对评论进行定性评估。学生的反馈显示出对新方法的显著赞赏（p < 0.05），以及讲师为提供尽可能高质量的讲座所做的努力。然而，缺乏实践训练被认为是新课程结构中的一个重要问题（p < 0.05）。COVID-19是一场史诗般的悲剧，不仅在健康和医疗保健方面，而且在生活质量方面都对人类造成了打击。这包括大学内牙科教育的质量。然而，大流行病也可以被视为投资于必要的技术创新的动力，为我们未来的牙医提供最好的教育。
The COVID-19 pandemic literally stopped most human movement and activities as it initially spread, which included dental practices and dental education. This defined the need for significative changes in teaching and learning with the use of “e-learning” methods, also for traineeships. This study was designed to determine the undergraduate student perception of these new methods as part of their education. This involved 353 students attending the Dental School of the G. D’Annunzio University of Chieti–Pescara, from the first to the sixth years. A questionnaire in Italian and was set-up using “Google Forms” and sent by email to the students. The questionnaire was divided into three parts: the first part included questions for general information, including age, sex and year of course; the second part had multiple choice questions related to their evaluation of the e-learning teaching, using a scale of opinion in the replies to each question (e.g., “scarce”, “fair”, “satisfying”, “very good” and “excellent”); and the third part included two open questions to indicate the strengths and limitations of these new teaching and learning approaches. The categorical variables in the first and second parts of the questionnaire were evaluated using Chi squared tests, setting significance at p < 0.05, while the comments were evaluated qualitatively. The student feedback showed significant appreciation (p < 0.05) of the new methods and the efforts that the lecturers put in to provide lectures of as high a quality as possible. However, a lack of practical training was significantly perceived as an important problem in the structure of their new curriculum (p < 0.05). COVID-19 has been an epic tragedy that has hit the human population not only in terms of health and healthcare, but also quality of life. This includes the quality of dental education within universities. However, the pandemic can be seen to also represent motivation to invest in the necessary technological innovation to deliver the best possible education to our future dentists.
