Due to the significant influence of COVID-19 pandemic on dental education in the recent past, interactive educational strategies were explored to engage students. Case-based seminars (CBS) were proposed on masticatory muscle disorders (MMDs) for post-graduate dental students through integration of pathophysiology with its etiology, diagnosis, and management. Effectiveness of CBS was done at Kirkpatrick's level 1 and level 2 hierarchy with a pre-test and a post-test. CBS enhanced learning outcomes of post-graduate students in understanding MMDs. Thus, this report could serve as a useful model for other dental schools in prosthodontic post-graduate curriculum.
