The objectives of this paper are to review the development and impact of computer assisted learning (CAL) in dentistry with emphasis on the UK.
This is a wide ranging review of dental, medical and technical literature.
An attempt has been made to evaluate present knowledge in an objective manner and to make some prediction as to the future development and use of computer-based teaching methods in dentistry.
The introduction of computers as an educational tool in dentistry and the provision of CAL is having an impact not only on how dentists are trained but also on the skills they will need to acquire in the future to keep pace with this new technology. It is suggested that there is a great potential for computer-based continuing professional education for dental practitioners, and that the Internet will provide access to such material.
本文的目标是回顾计算机辅助学习（CAL）在牙科领域的发展及影响，重点关注英国。
这是对牙科、医学和技术文献的广泛综述。
已尝试以客观的方式评估现有知识，并对基于计算机的教学方法在牙科领域的未来发展和应用做出一些预测。
将计算机作为牙科教育工具引入以及提供计算机辅助学习，不仅对牙医的培训方式产生影响，而且对他们未来为跟上这项新技术所需掌握的技能也有影响。有人认为，基于计算机的牙科从业者继续职业教育具有巨大潜力，并且互联网将提供获取此类材料的途径。
