Peer instruction is one of the best recognized teaching methods in the world. In this study, we aim to discuss the necessity and feasibility of applying peer instruction to the current dental school education with respect to the specialty features of stomatology in China. We also propose a new paradigm of teaching based on peer instruction for the development of a more effective system to train elite dentists and meet the increasing needs of the society for oral health.
