| Abstract: |
The article focuses on an innovative educational project aimed at enhancing critical and analytical thinking among Dentistry and Dental Prosthetics students at the University of Verona. Through an analysis of student responses, it was found that students often prioritize procedural steps over reflective decision-making in clinical practice. To address this, a didactic activity called 'dental forbidden' was introduced, encouraging students to engage in peer discussions and reflections on clinical problems without using specific terms. Preliminary feedback indicated strong student engagement and highlighted the importance of aligning educational projects with students' prior knowledge and needs to foster effective learning outcomes.
