Abstrakt:	Background: Dental education is facing hitherto unheard-of difficulties as a result of the COVID-19 epidemic, which calls for quick adaption to remote learning methods. The purpose of this study was to look at how dental graduates were affected by the COVID-19 epidemic and the effects of e-learning and predictable practical learning expectations. Methods: Data from dental college graduates were gathered using a mixed-methods approach that included questionnaires and interviews. While surveys evaluated e-learning's perceived efficacy, obstacles faced, and levels of satisfaction, interviews offered a deeper look into the opinions and experiences of participants. Findings: Graduates in dentistry expressed great satisfaction and perceived efficacy with e-learning platforms. Nevertheless, difficulties were faced, such as inadequate practical expertise and technological obstacles. Expectations related to practical learning, such as training predictability and availability of clinical resources, markedly declined throughout the epidemic. Conclusion: In summary, the results underscore the intricate relationship among e-learning, realistic learning objectives, and the difficulties encountered by recent dentistry graduates during the COVID-19 epidemic. Assuring thorough dentistry education in the post-pandemic period requires a hybrid strategy that incorporates virtual and practical learning modalities. Competing Interests: There are no conflicts of interest. (Copyright: © 2024 Journal of Pharmacy and Bioallied Sciences.)
