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 mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) educational approach

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.
