| Educational technologies offer opportunities to enhance learning and outcomes in pediatric dental education. This project aimed to develop an instructional smartphone application (app) and determine its acceptability and effectiveness for early childhood oral health education.App design followed established processes. Participants for evaluation were 64 third-year dental students, randomly allocated to two groups, with assessment at two time points. Level of significance set at p < 0.05.In all examined learning outcome domains, substantial improvements were evident in the app group, whereas positive changes of smaller magnitude were found in the control group. Gains in certain constructs (knowledge acquisition, comfort, and clinical reasoning) were significantly higher in the app versus the control group. Most students commented favorably on smartphone app utility and functionality.Dental students perceived smartphone app-based education positively. Its educational benefits with regards to knowledge acquisition, comfort, and clinical reasoning are superior compared to a control, article review-based, instructional approach |
