New Techniques in Closed-Circuit Television for Dental Teaching
In many of the nation's dental schools, closed-circuit TV provides large groups of students with close-up views of the face and oral cavity undergoing professional treatment. The television medium is particularly useful for this purpose, since the camera reveals more than the view afforded the handful of students that can be grouped around a dental chair for the traditional “live” demonstration of technical procedures. The University of Pennsylvania has used television as a teaching adjunct for the past eight years and two years ago upgraded its facilities by installing broadcast-quality equipment. This paper discusses the University's work with television in dental teaching, and the techniques developed to capitalize on TV's advantages to the student and the teacher.
