Abstract
Science of dental materials, an important foundation course for dentistry, is related to dental clinical professional courses closely. Traditional teaching of science of dental materials is separated from dental clinical professional courses, resulting in separating of the knowledge of dentistry. To strength the combination of science of dental materials and clinical professional courses, a teaching model of integrated-into-clinic was introduced to the teaching of science of dental materials, in which the teaching was separated into four parts and integrated into related clinical teaching blocks. After application of the model, the time teacher spend in explaining related clinical concept and principle in classroom decreased 69%~70% and student’s interest in science of dental materials increased significantly, resulting in an average 8.1% increase of test scores. Key words: Dentistry; Science of dental materials; Integrated-into-clinic; Teaching model
