Competency-Based Assessment of Periodontal Examination Skills of Dental Students in Comprehensive Clinics- an Observational Study
Abstract
Aim and objective: This study aims to assess and compare the clinical grades and examination skills of undergraduate students on gingival and periodontal parameters by using the newly developed assessment criteria framed by subject experts.
Material and methods: Gingival and periodontal examination skills of 100 students posted in clinics were assessed in module 1 and module 2 consisting of 5 case histories each. Scores were given and compared for each gingival and periodontal clinical parameter in module1 and module 2.
Results: Gingival and periodontal examination skills were improved among all the students when compared with module 1 and module 2. A statistically significant difference was observed with a p-value of 0.000*.
Conclusion: Absolute improvement in gingival and periodontal examination skills was observed among all the students of the dental school by following a newly framed structured mini periodontal examination case format.
