Abstract: Objective: Explore the application effect of digitalization in the practical teaching of stomatology technology. Methods: In practical teaching, the teacher matched the clinical cases with the knowledge system and simulated the complete clinical process while students collected, settled and made the cases independently. Results: According to the final examination and questionnaire survey of 56 students (classes 2017~2019) who were highly satisfied with the course arrangement and teaching plan setting, the test scores improved significantly. The use of digital technology, teamwork, and other abilities have all improved. Conclusion: The teaching mode combined with clinical cases make students have a good command of knowledge, establish critical thinking, and cultivate their thinking about prosthodontics.
