Technology-enhanced learning has been suggested as a suitable learner-centered pedagogical approach in dental education. However, the results of technology-enhanced learning effectiveness in periodontics education are controversial. Therefore, this present work aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of technology-enhanced learning to improve educational outcomes in the periodontics field compared to traditional learning methods. A systematic review was performed comprising randomized controlled trials and crossover studies that were related to periodontics education from the following databases: MedLine, PsycINFO, Eric, Scopus, EMBASE, and Web of Science. Two authors independently performed study selection, data extraction, and assessed risk of bias. Kirkpatrick’s four-level evaluation model was used to evaluate educational outcomes. From 1642 studies, after applying inclusion criteria, seven studies remained for analysis. As a result of educational outcomes, on level 1 (Reaction), undergraduate dental students reported positive attitudes related to technology-enhanced learning. On level 2 (Learning), two studies found that the exclusive use of technology-enhanced learning improved knowledge gain compared to traditional learning methods; three other studies did not find any difference between technology-enhanced learning and traditional learning methods; one found that traditional learning methods presented superior results and one found that the combination between technology-enhanced learning and traditional methods improved knowledge gain compared to traditional learning methods. On level 3 (Behaviour), only three studies evaluated student’s performance and one found that TEL application improved students’ performance. On level 4 (Results), five studies suggested that the implementation of technology-enhanced learning would improve educational outcomes in periodontics education if combined with traditional learning methods. The findings showed that the exclusive use of technology-enhanced learning does not significantly improve periodontics educational outcomes when compared to traditional learning methods. However, the combination of technology-enhanced learning and traditional learning methods can be the key to improving periodontics education
