| Project Summary | We would like to create a series of multiple, 2-3 minute videos demonstrating the necessary clinical skills in periodontics (study of gums and supporting tooth structures). Such skills include assessing the clinical appearance of gum tissues and the proper manipulation of instruments used below the gumline. Students have reported limited visibility during clinical demonstrations and difficulty visualizing instruments that have “disappeared” below the gumline. The intent of these videos is to enhance student learning of periodontal clinical skills by improving the quality and impact of clinical instruction. Filming with high power magnification and merging “live” video footage with 3D animated motion graphics will be used to enhance students’ visibility and visualization of the clinical skills and concepts. Questionnaires will be distributed to students and instructors before the making of the videos as well as after releasing and viewing of the videos to determine success of outcome objectives. |
