Introduction: Team- based learning (TBL) is a student- based teaching method in which students participate in teamwork and application of learning concepts to problem- solving. It has been widely proposed in the education of medical and dental education. This study describes the experience of implementation and evaluation of TBL and lecture- based teaching findings on dental education.
Methods: This interventional study was conducted in 2022 including dentistry students at Yazd dental school. They were randomly divided into two separate groups, traditional and team- based learning (TBL). A questionnaire was administered to measure the knowledge of the students toward chronic orofacial pain, at the beginning of the study, immediately after the completion of the training, and 4 months after training. The average knowledge score were analyzed by Mann- Whitney and Wilcoxon tests through SPSS. The significance level in this study was considered 0.05.
Results: Of 23 participants, 6 students were males (26%) and 17 were females (74%) students. There was no significant difference in the level of awareness according to gender, native status, and marital status. Results show that students` knowledg  score in traditional education group  pertaining to chronic orofacial pain., 4 months after education were significantly lower in comparison with the immediate after- education group (P=0.027). The scores of the TBL group were significantly higher in the long term than the traditional education group (p=0.027). Average satisfaction with the TBL group was 7.09±10.56.
Conclusion: Based on the results of the present study, it seems that TBL has a positive effect on long- term learning. The short- term knowledge score was significantly higher in the TBL group in comparison with the traditional education method.
