    Using dedicated testing typodonts for dental practical exams improves objectivity and efficiency. While initial costs exist, benefits like increased student and faculty confidence outweigh them.

    Area of Science:

    • Dental Education
    • Assessment Methods

    Background:

    • Traditional practical examinations often face challenges with student-owned typodonts.
    • Issues include lack of standardization, security concerns, and variable efficiency.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the impact of using standardized testing typodonts in preclinical dental examinations.
    • To assess improvements in objectivity, conformity, security, efficiency, and flexibility.

    Main Methods:

    • Implementation of a dedicated testing typodont system for practical examinations.
    • Comparative analysis of examination processes before and after the implementation.

    Main Results:

    • Testing typodonts resolved issues related to student typodont use.
