Summary

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of periodontal instrumentation preclinical training using a teaching typodont-phantom head model on undergraduate students; anxiety levels, clinical performance, and educational satisfaction.

Detailed description

Sixty fourth-year undergraduate dental students will be randomly divided into two groups. Both groups will receive one hour of theoretical periodontal training. Group 1 will receive only theoretical training, while Group 2 will complete this training as well as pre-clinical practical training with a typodont-phantom head with synthetic calculus. Before performing supragingival instrumentation on their first patient, students in both groups will be administered a state anxiety test. After the procedures, participants will complete a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) to assess training satisfaction. Students\' clinical performance will be evaluated using the scaling procedure score sheet.
