Abstract

Problem-Based Learning is a pedagogical method that is widely used in Health Sciences Education. Schools of Medicine have been leaders in the implementation of educational programmes using the PBL approach. There is less information on the extent and reach of this educational technique in Dentistry than in Medicine. Dental Emergencies is an optional subject in the second cycle of the UCM School of Dentistry. Although the white paper on the future Degree in Dentistry specifies the competences and specific contents for this subject, its teaching faces some challenges, including the low number of teachers, limited teaching time and inadequate teaching methods. This article describes the process of developing and applying a mixed teaching-learning method based on a combination of the traditional approach with the PBL system, reporting on its format and contents and on the evaluation of results obtained by anonymous questionnaires completed by students.
