Analyzing the educational effect of symposium is helpful in providing useful resources to improve the quality of the sym posium. Among various analyzing methods, electronic voting system is advantageous in several aspects including high response rate from the audiences and immediate availability of the results. Electronic voting systems with keypads were provided to the audiences. Survey with the questionnaire related to the lecture topic was carried out with the keypads before the symposium session and after the lecture and panel discussion. Respondent’s preferred treatment modality for severely resorbed posterior mandible was changed after the lecture from removable partial denture to implant therapy with short fix ture. In the case with maxillary anterior bone deficiency, preference for the aggressive surgical procedure such as ridge split ting was decreased. The treatment modality with the highest preference was changed from fixed partial denture to the implant restoration with guided bone regeneration. Therefore, electronic voting system was an effective tool to aid audi ences to actively participate in the symposium and to analyze and share the information about the education effect.
