Dental students' perceptions and educational impact of preclinical interactive videos compared and in combination with live demonstrations.

Objective: To study the utility of simulation videos with embedded quiz items compared and in combination with live hands-on demonstrations of dental procedures.

Methods: Thirty-three videos with embedded items were developed to help students understand the procedures they had to practice in the simulation laboratory. Videos were uploaded to the university LMS platform for students to watch and complete the embedded items as many times as they liked.
