Abstract
Background: Learning difficulties also known as the learning disabilities are the conditions that
impact on an individual’s ability to gain knowledge and skills. The common problem faced by dental
students is learning subjects and doing practicals. Though many studies have been done on learning
disabilities, this study gives detailed information on the problems faced by dental students. The main
aim of this study is to create awareness on the difficulties faced by the dental students in learning the
subjects and in doing practicals. An online survey was conducted among dental students to evaluate
the learning difficulties. The study population are the 1st year dental students with a sample size of
100. 10 questions were circulated to the participants through an online survey link. Later the datas
was analysed and made into pie charts. From this study, when asked about learning difficulties, the
majority of the result shows that they have difficulty in learning that is nearly 75% and the rest felt
easier. Nearly half of the students who feel difficulty in learning are trying to overcome their
difficulty. From this survey, it was evident that most of the students have difficulty in learning
dentistry. This study creates awareness among the students about the benefits and importance of
overcoming the difficulty in learning.
