Popis: BACKGROUND: Educating dental students in practical skills are a difficult task that has become increasingly demanding since the outbreak of COVID-19. Today, the use of digital media plays an essential role in teaching practical skills. AIM: This study investigated the effect of educational videos on oral and maxillofacial surgery basics on dental student’s satisfaction. METHODS: Six subjects were chosen from the principles of oral and maxillofacial surgery, and according to the necessary standards, educational videos were made based on the needs assessment of students. Fellow attending evaluated and approved each video. Students were shown videos in six 2-h sessions. Students were given a researcher-created questionnaire with proven validity and reliability. Students filled out questionnaires to evaluate the impact of educational videos as well as the structure of educational videos. RESULTS: Two hundred and three students participated in this study in their 4th−6th years. In this study, 203 students in their 4th to the 6th year participated. Most students were satisfied with the structure of educational videos (73.9%); in general, 84.7% of students expressed their satisfaction with this method. Half of the students preferred video training over face-to-face training in oral and maxillofacial surgery (50.4%). Many students suggested that these videos be included in the curriculum (80.7%). CONCLUSION: Students’ overall satisfaction with the structure and impact of educational videos indicates that educational videos made and evaluated by dental professors can help teach practical topics as a part of the curriculum.
