Abstract

In dentistry, several resources have been adopted as strategies to aid the teaching-learning process in order to integrate theory and practice. This study aims to raise the main digital educational resources in the area of Dental Radiology and discuss the learning characteristics of these resources, according to the Kirkpatrick model. An integrative review of papers published between 2007 and 2017 was carried out in the databases PubMed, Virtual Health Library and Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations, considering the descriptors: "computer-assisted instruction"; dental education"; "educational technology"; "radiology". The final sample consisted of 13 articles that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria, in which the following digital educational resources were identified: 03 interactive module based on the Web; 03 digital learning objects; 02 virtual platform courses; 02 interactive digital tools; 01 3D visualization software; 01 simulator in oral radiology and 01 technological system of response to the student. From the adopted learning model, the following levels were identified in the study: participants' satisfaction and / or gain of knowledge of the participants before or after an intervention or both. The present literature review identified 7 types of digital educational resources used in oral radiology, which presented positive attitudes of students in relation to e-learning in all studies, in addition to a significant gain in knowledge in most of the studies.
