Feedback, an essential tool in dental education, is vital for students to shape their clinical competence. Consistent,
on-time, and well-structured feedback is a good recipe for ensuring that learning outcomes are met. In-depth clinical
training without proper feedback cannot ensure either the effectiveness of teaching methods or the appropriateness of
assessments. This narrative review articulates current evidence on feedback methods in dental education and
highlights various strategies to enhance student learning and clinical competence. It would help educators and
students improve the application of feedback methods, thereby fostering student growth and clinical success.
