Summary

finding the optimal balance between traditional live demonstrations and instructional videos remains a subject of ongoing discussion in dental education. Moreover, integrating a hybrid model that combines the strengths of both methods may offer a comprehensive approach to crown preparation training.

Therefore, this study aims to address this ongoing discussion by investigating the relative effectiveness of traditional live demonstrations, instructional videos, and a hybrid model that merges both approaches. Through an evaluation of dental students' satisfaction and performance with video tutorials and hands-on demonstrations, this research endeavors to shed light on how different instructional methods influence knowledge acquisition within the practical environment.
