Background: Dental students need to learn effectively to promote their professional services as a part of their daily activities. This study is conducted to determine dentistry students’ experiences of factors that influence their learning. Methods: This qualitative study was conducted using the critical incident technique and content analysis approach to examine dental students’ experiences with factors that influence an effective learning process. Data were collected by individual in-depth semi-structured interviews with dental students at the Kurdistan University of Medical Sciences. Results: In all, 104 primary codes were obtained from the interviews and group discussions, classified into two major themes. The factors facilitating effective learning encompassed three categories: teacher-related perceived experiences (8 subcategories), learning-related perceived experiences (5 subcategories), and compelling student-related perceived experiences (3 subcategories). Two factors inhibited learning: practical teacher-related perceived experiences (3 subcategories) and learning-related perceived experiences (3 subcategories). Conclusion: The results showed that several instructor characteristics, such as being experienced in teaching methods, having the required clinical skills, and "interacting with students and patients" lead to effective learning. Several other factors involved in the learning process, such as student characteristics, a comprehensive curriculum fitting the theoretical and clinical needs of this field, interacting with peers, and keeping calm and being focused are the some of the most critical factors involved in effective learning.

Introduction: Oral pathology comprises of extensive teaching-learning of histopathology. Teaching histopathology is always challenging more when numerous histopathology slides are involved. There is lack of interest among the students and also face challenges to correlate with the clinical presentation. For effective learning, need for a method which is interactive and helps create clinico pathological correlation was felt. This study was designed to assess the impact and feasibility of case-based learning in routine teaching among dental students. Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted among 58 undergraduate dental students, wherein a case-based learning method was introduced in the practical classes. Thirty students were randomly selected as case based learning and remaining as conventional group. Multiple paper-based cases on oral cancer was designed and used for the case based learning group of students. A self-designed pre and posttest interventional tools along with post intervention assessment using modified essay question was designed and applied. Results: Significant difference in the scores between pre and post intervention questionnaire was observed among the case-based learning group (p<0.0001), however non-significant among the conventional. Similarly, significant difference in the scores of modified essay question was observed between the study groups. Majority of the students among the case-based learning group agreed that it benefitted their personal, professional and communicative skills. The students expressed their enthusiasm in learning with this method and suggested to apply it more often. Discussion: Case-based learning is an effective method and incorporation of it on a regular basis could help favor an effective learning environment.
