The aim of the study was to conduct a theoretical analysis of scientific psychological and pedagogical, methodological and medical publications, methodological work of the department on the use of pedagogical technologies in the training of future dentists. The use of modern pedagogical technologies, in particular stimulation learning technologies and case technologies, in the process of professional training of future dentists performs several important functions: control, as it reveals the knowledge, skills and abilities of students; educational, because it requires students to achieve a certain level of education; educational, as is the formation of personal qualities of future doctors. By effectively organizing independent and classroom activities of the student, the teacher promotes development of clinical thinking, which inevitably becomes the basis for qualified and successful doctor’s formation.
