Abstract
In late February 2020, Lombardy became one of the outbreak areas of the novel coronavirus pandemic, leading to the revolution of traditional teaching. Here, we describe our teaching experience at the Dental School of the University of Milan, with a focus on the management of distance learning and clinical training. Distance education was enhanced with streaming lectures and videos of clinical procedures. Students’ opinions on this “digital revolution” were very positive, despite few technical and organizational problems. For assuring the clinical training, we completely renovated the structural architecture from open spaces to closed spaces. The pandemic changed dental education with future repercussions.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
