A computer program was written for teaching undergraduate students definitions and localizations of reference points on cephalometric X-rays. The efficacy of the program as a teaching method was tested by comparing two junior/sophomore groups. While one group attended a conventional lecture for an hour, the other worked with the computer program for the same length of time. Prior to and immediately after instruction by the two methods each group marked reference points on various cephalometric tracings, which were then compared for accuracy. The result was that the students who worked with the computer marked significantly more reference points correctly than their counterparts who attended the lecture. 80% of the students belonging to the group which used the computer judged the program to be a positive educational experience. Such computer training proved to be an efficient tool for teaching students simple facts which require memorization and, equally important, the use of such educational aids. At the same time frees the instructors to dedicate more of their time to teaching more complicated and complex subject matters. A further benefit of the training program described in this article is that it can also be used to train chairside orthodontic assistants in private orthodontic practices.
编写了一个计算机程序，用于教授本科学生头影测量X线片上参考点的定义和定位。通过比较两个大二/大三学生组来测试该程序作为一种教学方法的效果。一组参加了一小时的传统讲座，另一组使用计算机程序相同时长。在两种方法教学之前和之后，每个组在各种头影测量描图上标记参考点，然后比较其准确性。结果是，使用计算机学习的学生正确标记的参考点明显多于参加讲座的学生。使用计算机的组中80%的学生认为该程序是一次积极的教育体验。这种计算机培训被证明是一种有效的工具，用于教授学生需要记忆的简单事实，同样重要的是，教授如何使用这种教育辅助工具。同时使教师能够将更多时间投入到教授更复杂的主题上。本文所述培训计划的另一个好处是，它还可用于培训私人正畸诊所的椅旁正畸助手。
