Abstract		Background. In the introduction, the paper suggested that electronic media would play an increasingly important role in the delivery of dental education at all stages during a dentist's professional life and that many academic and theoretical aspects of dentistry could be taught at a distance. The paper then went on to consider the use of electronic media in the delivery of dental continuing professional education via the use of computer-aided learning (CAL) and videoconferencing. It described how in the United Kingdom, central Government funding has made it possible to develop and evaluate a wide range of CAL programmes and how this initiative has developed since 1991. It then described the use of videoconferencing in the provision of clinical advice and in the delivery of dental education using both terrestrial and satellite transmissions. Conclusions. The paper concluded by suggesting that although the increasing use of electronic media would have a profound effect on the way in which the academic and theoretical aspects of health care and dental education were delivered, it wild still be necessary to train clinicians using live rather than "wirtual" patients.
Summary		Izhodišča. V uvodu je v članku predlagano, da bodo elektronski mediji igrali naraščajočo vlogo pri prenosu stomatološkega izobraževanja na vseh stopnjah stomatologovega strokovnega dela in da bi se lahko mnogo akademskih in teoretičnih vidikov stomatologije poučevalo na daljavo. Nadalje članek proučuje uporabo elektronskih medijev v prenosu nadaljnjega stomatološkega strokovnega izobraževanja z uporabo računalniške podpore učenja in videokonferenc. Članek opisuje, kako je v Veliki Britaniji centralni vladni sklad omogočil razviti in ovrednotiti veliko vrsto programov z računalniško podporo učenja in kako se ta iniciativa razvija od leta 1991. Nadalje opisuje uporabo videokonferenc pri preskrbi kliničnih nasvetov in prenosu stomatološkega izobraževanja z uporabo zemeljskega in satelitskega prenosa. Zaključki. Članek zaključuje s predlogom, da čeprav ima naraščajoča uporaba elektronskih medijev velike učinke na način prenašanja akademskih in teoretičnih vidikov zdravstvene oskrbe in stomatološkega izobraževanja, bo še vedno potrebno usposabljati stomatologe, da bodo imeli prakso z živimi in ne samo z "virtualnimi" pacienti.
