Area of Science:

  • Dental Education
  • Haptic Technology
  • Manual Dexterity Assessment

Background:

  • Manual dexterity is crucial for dental students' success.
  • Haptic technologies offer novel ways to assess manual skills in preclinical dental education.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the association between haptic simulator performance and preclinical operative dentistry practical examination scores.
  • To determine if haptic simulator performance correlates with Dental Admission Test Perceptual Ability Test (PAT) scores.

Main Methods:

  • Thirty-nine first-year dental students completed a haptic dexterity test (D-circle) eight times.
  • Performance was scored based on accuracy and completion time.
  • Haptic test results were compared with scores from plastic tooth preparation practical examinations using linear regression.

Main Results:

  • The number of failures on the haptic exercise significantly predicted preclinical operative dentistry examination performance.
  • Haptic simulator performance showed a significant association with practical examination scores.

Conclusions:

  • Haptic technology can serve as a valuable tool for identifying dental students with manual dexterity challenges early in their preclinical training.
  • Early identification allows for timely intervention to support students at risk of failing preclinical courses.
