Comparison of Digital Interactive Case-Based Educational Resource with Virtual Role Play in Dental Undergraduates in Clinical Oral Medicine/Oral Pathology Education.

Case-based learning has always been a key element of dental education and the incorporation of technology into the concept became increasingly important during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of a virtual interactive case resource in oral medicine/oral pathology, Virtual Oral Medicine Clinic (VOMC), with the virtual role play among third-year dental undergraduates. Fifty-one students were randomly assigned into two groups and the control group was subjected to a role play activity, whereas the experimental group was provided with VOMC.
