Abstract

This article discusses an innovative approach to dental education that integrates "injury awareness" into the clinical teaching of graduate students in dentistry. The study focuses on implant fixation restoration for edentulous patients, using real clinical cases to cultivate students' awareness of caring for patients and to enhance their professional knowledge. The project emphasizes multidimensional thinking, communication skills, understanding patient needs, and humanistic care throughout the treatment process. The implementation plan includes steps such as medical history collection, needs analysis, diagnosis planning, treatment planning, and multidisciplinary collaboration. The effectiveness of the educational reform is evaluated in terms of student benefits, teacher team building, course construction, and textbook development. The article concludes that this approach not only imparts technical skills but also fosters a humanistic care that improves patient treatment experiences and strengthens the doctor-patient relationship.
