Research suggests that the exclusive use of lecture in the classroom hinders student learning. The advent of compact electronic wireless audience response systems has allowed for increased student participation in the classroom. Such technology is utilized in medical education. This article describes the use of an audience response system in a “quiz bowl” format to facilitate and improve the comprehension of student dentists in core concepts in pulp therapy for the pediatric patient.
