Objectives: Team-based learning (TBL) is a student-centered method where learning can be promoted and facilitated by changing the traditional teaching lecture into an active, dynamic, and more engaging problem-solving process. The present study evaluated the student's learning experience and satisfaction using a TBL method in a preclinical oral surgery course.

Methods: Twelve TBL sessions were designed for second-year dental students. Six 3-h and 2-h sessions with various preclinical topics were conducted in academic Terms 1 and 2, respectively. Teaching activities such as tests and group discussions were included in the sessions. The last post-session questionnaire sought students' feedback and satisfaction to assess four parameters related to students' knowledge acquirement, interpersonal skills enhancement, learning environment, and teacher-student relationships.

Results: Most average scores of the responses agreed with the related statements in the four parameters. The results of the Pearson's correlation test revealed that there was a significant relationship (r = 0.735;  < 0.05) between the parameters of the 3-h and 2-h sessions.

Conclusion: The TBL method yielded positive and high levels of satisfaction, which may be attributed to the proper implementation of TBL methodology by the teacher and students.
