The Department of Oral Radiology at Matsumoto Dental University School of Dentistry has developed and created self-learning materials, based on Web materials using personal computers, in the clinical training of 5th graders since the 2002 school year. The aim of the development is to complement knowledge of Oral Radiology. In addition, CD-ROM versions of "Practical Diagnostic Imaging of Oral Radiology" and "Text for Clinical Training in the Department of Oral Radiology" have been produced to help students study at home. The results of a questionnaire targeting the students indicated that many students requested development of audio-visual materials corresponding to the National Dentistry Examination, based on the above-mentioned materials. Then, visual aids corresponding to multiple-choice questions (Oral Radiology) were developed. The content, problems at development time and prospects for the audio-visual materials were reported. Currently, there are various problems, for example how to make effective use of the audio-visual materials, help students develop interest in the materials and improve the PC environment. It is likely that the introduction of curriculum into the audio-visual materials, and enhancement as well as improvement in the material quality can lead to the resolution of several problems.
