Abstract：
OBJECTIVE: Dental materials science is one of the fundamental disciplines in stomatology, encompassing clinical areas such as orthodontics, prosthodontics, and endodontics. Due to its extensive knowledge base, strong professional nature, and wide scope, teaching dental materials science presents a challenge. This study aimed to enhance the application of dental materials science in oral teaching by comparing the effectiveness of different teaching methods.
METHODS: This research project was evaluated by the Xi\'an Jiaotong University Committee on Human Subjects Research and approved as exempt research. A total of 56 clinical stomatology students from the first year and second year cohorts at the Stomatology Hospital of Xi\'an Jiaotong University were selected for the study. The first year cohort served as the nonteaching reform class, while the second year cohort formed the teaching reform class. The impact of the teaching reform was assessed through a questionnaire survey and final examination results.
RESULTS: The questionnaire survey of students in the teaching reform class indicated a significant improvement in their interest in professional courses and overall satisfaction with the teaching. Additionally, the final examination results revealed a significantly greater rate of excellence among students in the teaching reform class than among those in the nonteaching reform class, with no students failing.
CONCLUSIONS: The use of diverse teaching modes can enhance the quality and effectiveness of dental materials science instruction, offering a new approach for improving teaching in this discipline.

摘要：
目的：牙科材料科学是口腔医学的基础学科之一，涵盖临床领域，如正畸，口腔修复术,还有牙髓.由于其广泛的知识基础，专业性强,范围广，牙科材料科学的教学提出了挑战。本研究旨在通过比较不同教学方法的效果，加强牙科材料科学在口腔教学中的应用。
方法：本研究项目经西安交通大学人体研究委员会评估，被批准为豁免研究。西安交通大学口腔医院第一年和第二年的56名临床口腔医学学生被选中进行研究。第一年的队列是非教学改革班，而二年级队列形成了教学改革班。通过问卷调查和期末考试结果评估教学改革的影响。
结果：对教改班学生的问卷调查表明，他们对专业课程的兴趣和对教学的总体满意度有了明显的提高。此外,期末考试结果显示，教学改革班学生的优秀率明显高于非教学改革班学生，没有学生不及格。
结论：采用多样化的教学模式可以提高牙科材料学教学的质量和效果，为改进这门学科的教学提供了一种新的方法。
