The aim of the present systematic review was to evaluate the effectiveness of technology-enhanced learning (TEL) in the field of Endodontics to improve educational outcomes compared to traditional learning methods. Randomized controlled studies published in English were identified from two electronic databases (PubMed and Scopus) up to May 2018. Two authors independently performed study selection, data extraction and assessed the risk of bias (ROB). Any teaching method using TEL was considered as the intervention, and this was compared to traditional methods. The outcome measuring the effectiveness of learning activities was evaluated by Kirkpatrick's four-level training evaluation model. The four levels of training outcomes are as follows: Reaction, Learning, Behaviour and Results. A meta-analysis was performed to estimate the standardized mean difference (SMD) by the random effects model. In total, 13 studies were included in the systematic review. Only three studies were assessed as 'low' ROB. A meta-analysis could not be performed in the domains of Reaction and Behaviour. No significant difference was observed in knowledge gain (Learning domain) between TEL and traditional methods (SMD, 0.14 (95% CI -0.10 to 0.39) I = 62.7%). Similarly, no difference was observed in performance (Behaviour domain). A variable response was found in attitude (Reaction domain). From the available evidence, it can be concluded that TEL is equally as effective as traditional learning methods.

BACKGROUND: The progress in the usage of technology in hardware, software, and cost-effective Internet connectivity enable the availability of science-related information and its usage in all the developing countries. Hence, in this practical world, there should be a need to implement effective and affordable dental education strategies to attain oral health for all in the coming years. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to reduce the need to teach theory-based, on-site classes, e-learning came into existence. E-learning for dental education may alleviate the burden of severe health worker shortages and deliver affordable access to high-quality dental education. METHODOLOGY: Evaluation and assessment methods were done to know the effectiveness of e-learning in dental education by conducting continuing dental education on newer materials and methods, assignments/formative assessments and by open discussions of case descriptions and their treatment modalities through Edmodo app in our dental institute. Effect on knowledge, skills, attitudes, and satisfaction levels of dental students compared to other traditional methods. RESULTS: Dental e-learning has the capacity to develop into a leading-edge to strengthen clinical training skills among dental students by conducting continuing dental education, assignments, formative assessments, case descriptions, and their treatment modalities through e-learning are the best ways to improve quantity and quality in dental education. CONCLUSION: The probable prospective of e-learning could be innovative or revolutionary because this helps in both theoretical-related and clinical-related advancements, and it is possible only with e-learning in developing countries to meet the quality in education.

Internet has become essential to everyone during the Covid-19 pandemic lockdown as everything went to virtual. This has made the interactions between Pharmaceutical companies and Health Care Professionals (HCPs) explore digital channels as Medical Representatives (MRs) were not able to efficiently reach the HCPs. This pioneering study was conducted to evaluate the scope of digital channels and uncover insights into the digital behavioral landscape of HCPs to reach them effectively. A proctored, PAN India survey was conducted for health care professionals across diverse specialties and the responses were collected through in-clinic visits, mobile phones (via WhatsApp & SMS) and e-mails. 407 HCPs had actively participated in this survey from across the country. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the outcomes of this research which will help to develop programs directed at the HCPs in India to enhance their knowledge, medicine practice, HCP – patient & HCP – Pharmaceutical company interactions, engagement with the medical community and highlight the areas that they face challenges while accessing information online to better fit in this fast-growing digital landscape of the health sector. This will also cover insights to bridge both physical and digital interactions as ‘Phygital interactions’ that could be followed in the hopeful Post – Covid-19 scenario.
