BACKGROUND: The progress in the usage of technology in hardware, software, and cost‑effectiveInternet connectivity enable the availability of science‑related information and its usage in all thedeveloping countries. Hence, in this practical world, there should be a need to implement effectiveand affordable dental education strategies to attain oral health for all in the coming years.OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to reduce the need to teach theory‑based, on‑site classes,e‑learning came into existence. E‑learning for dental education may alleviate the burden of severehealth worker shortages and deliver affordable access to high‑quality dental education.METHODOLOGY: Evaluation and assessment methods were done to know the effectiveness ofe‑learning in dental education by conducting continuing dental education on newer materials andmethods, assignments/formative assessments and by open discussions of case descriptions andtheir treatment modalities through Edmodo app in our dental institute. Effect on knowledge, skills,attitudes, and satisfaction levels of dental students compared to other traditional methods.RESULTS: Dental e‑learning has the capacity to develop into a leading‑edge to strengthen clinicaltraining skills among dental students by conducting continuing dental education, assignments,formative assessments, case descriptions, and their treatment modalities through e‑learning are thebest ways to improve quantity and quality in dental education.CONCLUSION: The probable prospective of e‑learning could be innovative or revolutionary becausethis helps in both theoretical‑related and clinical‑related advancements, and it is possible only withe‑learning in developing countries to meet the quality in education.
