Abstract
Objective: The objective of the present work is to demonstrate the effectiveness of role plays as a learning method for the development of communicative skills in dentistry students. Methods: A role play dynamics was designed with five cases generated through the use of low fidelity scenarios in the clinical simulation of the Pediatric Dentistry II subject, oriented to the satisfaction of two objectives of the curriculum (knowing how to do the Clinic history to a pediatric patient and develop communication skills). Results: 88.68% of the students positively assessed the use of scenarios for the development of communication competence. The management of crisis situations was the best valued learning followed by decision making. Conclusions: We consider very important the introduction of active methodologies, such as role plays, using different scenarios to improve communicative skills in dental students in order to achieve an adequate patient-dentist relationship.
