In today's digitally advanced society, there is a need to focus on collaborative educational approaches of a socio-community nature that incorporate technology. From this perspective, the FEJYLEN and FEJYLENVAL programs were conceived and implemented for both remote (online) and face-to-face teaching. These programs are based on an E-Learning-Service methodology, enabling the training of university students in digital skills, and facilitating the transfer of their interactive educational video-animations to early childhood education centers.

Dental anatomy education is traditionally structured into theoretical and practical modules to foster both cognitive and psychomotor development. The theoretical module typically involves didactic lectures where educators elucidate dental structures using visual aids. In contrast, practical modules utilize three-dimensional illustrations, extracted and plastic teeth, and tooth carving exercises on wax or soap blocks, chosen for their cost, ease of handling, and fidelity in replication.

Article Synopsis
  • Teaching procedural skills is difficult, and Peyton's face-to-face method is gaining popularity for training complex skills, but online methods are now being incorporated into curriculums.
  • The study compares the effectiveness of E-Peyton's, an online version of the Peyton method, and traditional Peyton teaching with 41 naïve learners, assessing their ability to interpret facial CT scans.
  • Both teaching methods improved learners' confidence and skills retention equally, with E-Peyton's demonstrating comparable results to the traditional approach while streamlining the training process and reducing the need for in-person instruction.
