简要总结
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.
详细描述
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.

结局指标
主要结局
Comparison of state anxiety scores of the participants
时间窗: baseline
After completing training, students in both groups took a state anxiety test using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) before performing supragingival instrumentation. The STAI, which assesses current anxiety levels with 20 items, provides a total score from 20 to 80 points.The STAI was completed using a 4-point Likert scale for each question. Items 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 12, 13, 14, 17, and 18 contribute positive scores, which increased the total anxiety score. Conversely, items 1, 2, 5, 8, 10, 11, 15, 16, 19, and 20 contributed negative scores, which decreased the total anxiety score. Each item was scored between 1 (or -1) and 4 (or -4) based on its positive or negative nature, and a constant of 50 is added to the total score. Higher scores indicated higher levels of state anxiety.
Comparison of scaling operation scores among study groups
时间窗: baseline
The clinical performance of the participants was evaluated by a blind periodontologist using a scaling operation score sheet.The scale assessed clinical performance across four categories: preoperative preparation, intraoperative operation, periodontal probing, and supragingival instrumentation. Each category included specific criteria with assigned points, resulting in a maximum score of 100. The evaluation focused on fundamental aspects including equipment preparation, positioning, probing techniques, and supragingival scaling.
