NCT ID NCT07664917
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at two ways of teaching dental students how to evaluate patients before a tooth extraction. One group used an OSCE (a hands-on exam), the other used traditional methods. Researchers measured their clinical skills, anxiety, and satisfaction. The goal is to find better ways to train future dentists.

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that OSCE-based training improves dental students' clinical skills and reduces anxiety, leading to better education methods.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, single-center study with 104 students, so results may not apply broadly. It measures short-term outcomes, not long-term clinical impact.
