Continuing education of dentists plays a key role in improving their practical training and preventive orientation. The oral health manual is no exception to this. This educational method highlights the main aspects of further training of doctors and improving their skills. The purpose of this study is to study the continuing education program in the manual on oral health for professional development and further training of doctors. In the course of the research, several aspects of theoretical and pedagogical content were identified: functional, theoretical, practical capabilities of the system and its usability. The evaluation criteria were based on the Likert scale. The percentage of consistency and the confidence index of the content were used for quantitative analysis of the degree of consistency. The confidence level was 0.05. As a result, 97% of experts identified this software as fully meeting all the criteria put forward, 98% of teachers and clinicians consider it necessary to implement a continuous training program for doctors and students, 87% of doctors consider this software convenient to use. Based on the data of a sociological survey conducted before and after the introduction of the continuing education program, we highlight the improvement of the level of competence, theoretical and practical training of specialists. Thus, continuing education in the manual on oral health reveals the adequacy of the software as an educational resource for continuous training of nurses and primary care physicians. Given the overall coverage of medical staff, this software can also be used by secondary medical staff and students.
