Over the last decade, medical education changed from traditional teaching methods to telematic and networking scholar and e-learning approach. The objective of the present systematic review was to evaluate the effectiveness and teachers/student's acceptability of e-learning applied to the field of orthodontics and paediatric dentistry. A database search of the literature was conducted on PubMed and Embase databases from January 2005 to May 2021. A total of 172 articles were identified by the electronic search, while a total of 32 papers were selected for qualitative analysis. Overall, 19 articles investigated the effectiveness of e-learning, and no difference of acceptability was reported between e-learning and traditional methods for a wide part of the articles selected. A total of 25 papers provided a satisfaction questionnaire for learners and all were positive in their attitude towards e-learning. The results showed that e-learning is an effective method of instruction, complementing the traditional teaching methods, and learners had a positive attitude and perception. The evidence of the present study reported a high level of acceptability and knowledge level of e-learning techniques, compared to frontal lecture methods, in the fields of orthodontics and paediatric dentistry.
在过去的十年中，医学教育已经从传统的教学方法转变为远程教学、网络学习、学者和电子学习方法。本系统评价的目的是评估电子学习在口腔正畸学和儿童牙科领域的应用的有效性和教师/学生的可接受性。从 2005 年 1 月到 2021 年 5 月，我们在 PubMed 和 Embase 数据库中对文献进行了数据库搜索。通过电子搜索共确定了 172 篇文章，而总共选择了 32 篇论文进行定性分析。总体而言，有 19 篇文章研究了电子学习的有效性，而所选文章的很大一部分并没有报告电子学习和传统方法之间可接受性的差异。共有 25 篇文章为学习者提供了满意度问卷，他们对电子学习的态度都是积极的。结果表明，电子学习是一种有效的教学方法，补充了传统的教学方法，学习者对电子学习持积极的态度和看法。与传统的讲座方法相比，本研究报告的证据显示，电子学习技术在口腔正畸学和儿童牙科领域具有较高的可接受性和知识水平。
