The simulation of scientific conferences as a learning tool in the subject of Oral Implantology

Abstract

The communication of results of scientific production is a fundamental part of the professional development of the Dentist. The simulated congress took place in an auditorium of the University, presented as a scientific day simulating a congress held by a scientific society related to Oral Surgery and Implantology, with speakers, oral communications and posters and their respective defenses; an organizing committee and a scientific committee in which 100% of the undergraduate and postgraduate students of surgery and implantology participated. 89.5% of the works were evaluated with a mark above 7.5. The average rating of all presentations was 8. At the end of the conference, a Kahoot® test was carried out for self-evaluation. 75.5% of the students answered the Kahoot® questions and 57.65% passed the test. A satisfaction survey obtained an average score of 8.7, showing that the environment brought the student closer to a situation very similar to a real congress.
