Implementação de metodologias ativas no ensino de odontologia legal: uma abordagem inovadora para na formação acadêmica.

Abstract

Forensic Dentistry is essential for the ethical, legal, and professional training of dental surgeons. However, it still faces devaluation and outdated teaching methods in many educational institutions. The adoption of active methodologies, such as Problem-Based Learning (PBL), is crucial to make teaching more effective by promoting critical thinking, autonomy, and the ability to solve practical problems. Modernizing the teaching of Forensic Dentistry is essential to prepare professionals who are more qualified, ethical, and aligned with current societal demands.
