    Area of Science:

    • Dental education
    • Restorative dentistry
    • Surgical techniques

    Background:

    • Electrosurgery is a valuable tool in restorative dentistry.
    • Dental students require practical training to effectively use electrosurgical instrumentation.
    • Current training may not adequately prepare students for clinical electrosurgery.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a basic laboratory exercise for teaching dental electrosurgery.
    • To provide students with initial orientation to electrosurgery before advanced training.
    • To reduce student apprehension regarding clinical electrosurgery.

    Main Methods:

    • Introduction of a foundational laboratory exercise focused on electrosurgical instrumentation.
    • Phased approach: basic exercise, followed by tissue specimen work, and then clinical application.
