“A successful teacher is one who appreciates the diversity in his students and the way each one learns. Dentistry is an art in which the teacher is required to be creative, thus a variety of approaches should be used to engage students in critical thinking and clinical reasoning skills. More importantly, the teacher-students’ relationship and the environment should inspire students to learn”.
