The utilization of mobile devices in education is a growing trend in various subjects. We developed the Dental and Maxillofacial Development Teaching Atlas App, and applied it to the learning process of oral histopathology. The aim of the current study was to investigate the educational effects of atlas-based mobile-assisted teaching in the field of dental medicine, and to suggest relevant improvements. The Dental and Maxillofacial Development Teaching Atlas App encompasses a wide range of atlases. It harbors various features, such as terminology definitions, student communications, and teacher-student interactions. By conducting questionnaires (70 students) and a quiz (68 students), we obtained students' feedback, to evaluate the effects and application prospects of the WeChat applet. The questionnaire results indicate that students experienced a high level of satisfaction and support. Additionally, students participated in the quiz, with the experimental group exhibiting significantly higher average scores than the control group. The fill-in-the-blank questions, image recognition questions, and the total score all demonstrated statistically significant differences, while the terminology definition questions did not. The Dental and Maxillofacial Development Teaching Atlas App facilitates students' utilization of fragmented time for learning, and demonstrates positive effects in enhancing students' learning interests and proactiveness. It also holds promising potential for applications in other disciplines in the field of dental education.
移动设备在教育中的应用在各个学科领域都是一种日益增长的趋势。我们开发了口腔颌面发育教学图谱应用程序，并将其应用于口腔组织病理学的学习过程中。本研究的目的是调查基于图谱的移动辅助教学在牙科医学领域的教育效果，并提出相关改进建议。口腔颌面发育教学图谱应用程序包含了广泛的图谱。它具有各种功能，如术语定义、学生交流和师生互动。通过对70名学生进行问卷调查和对68名学生进行测验，我们获得了学生的反馈，以评估微信小程序的效果和应用前景。问卷调查结果表明，学生们的满意度和支持度很高。此外，学生们参加了测验，实验组的平均成绩显著高于对照组。填空题、图像识别题和总成绩均显示出统计学上的显著差异，而术语定义题则没有。口腔颌面发育教学图谱应用程序有助于学生利用碎片化时间进行学习，并在提高学生学习兴趣和积极性方面显示出积极效果。它在牙科教育领域的其他学科应用中也具有广阔的潜力。
