The purpose of this study was to develop a new educational support system for clinical training in dentistry using the Ubiquitous computing which could gain necessary information on site. Before treatment, students could reconfirm clinical procedures and usage of instruments or materials on chair-side by getting close the items attached RFID tag to the handheld reader, and then they treated with this information as reference. After treatment students keyed in effectiveness of information, clinical questions faced during treatment, and necessary additional information. The instructor estimated input information from a student and added modified information to reflect on clinical training for other students. This educational support system using the Ubiquitous computing may be effective for clinical training and reduce instructor's burden.
