Abstract: PURPOSE: To evaluate the teaching effects of multidisciplinary team (MDT) combined with case-based learning (CBL) in course learning of the treatment of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) diseases associated with dento-maxillofacial deformities. METHODS: A total of 24 postgraduates, residents for standardized training and students attending an advanced study from Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine were randomly divided into experimental group and control group, with 12 students in each group. MDT+CBL online and offline mixed teaching mode were applied in the experimental group while CBL online and offline teaching mode were used in the control group. After 3 months, the results of didactic examination and practice skill evaluation and questionnaire survey between the two groups were analyzed using SPSS 26.0 software package. RESULTS: Student's scores of theoretical knowledge and operational skills in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group(P<0.05). Questionnaire results showed the scores of learning interest, communication skills, team work spirit, file management ability, medical record writing's quality, clinical thinking ability and literature review in the experimental group were all higher than those in the control group(P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The application of MDT combined with CBL online and offline mixed teaching mode can improve examination performance, stimulate students' study motivity, improve their professional quality and enhance their clinical comprehensive ability. It has positive effects on TMJ course teaching.
