Abstract
Introduction: Blended learning is the trending concept in current educational system including the field of dentistry where
traditional teachings are combined with online resources such as demonstrational videos etc.

Both groups were given  live  demonstration  of  the  posterior  superior  alveolar  (PSA)  nerve  injection  technique.  In  addition,  the  test  group  received  additional demonstrational video to watch. Then both the groups were made to inject on each other. Two oral surgeons assessed both
the groups individually on some fixed criteria for injection technique. The data were collected and analyzed using SPSS version 22, mean values and percentages were compared between 2 groups using independent sample t-test and Chi-square test respectively. p<0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results:The mean score for injection technique was 1.4038 in control group and 1.6957 in the test group with p=0.004. In other aspects of this study, there was no significant difference found.
Conclusion:Demonstrational videos helped improve injection technique among dental undergraduates.
