Learn-a-prep II as a predictor of psychomotor performance in a restorative dentistry course.

Abstract:

:This investigation assessed whether early student performance with a dental handpiece on a didactic training aid known as the Learn-A-Prep II (LAP II) was predictive of performance on subsequent practical examinations in a preclinical restorative dentistry course. Eighty-one first-year students were given initial handpiece training and formative feedback using the LAP II and were then instructed to independently prepare four LAP II patterns within the pattern lines and at a specified depth. Performance on the LAP II was compared with the summative assessment on two subsequent amalgam preparation practical examinations given at the middle (Class II) and end (Complex) of the course. Pattern preparation within the lines did not significantly improve the likelihood of receiving an A or B on the Class II practical (p=0.53) or on the Complex practical (p=0.37). Students who had an acceptable depth on the LAP II were 3.73 times more likely to receive an A or B on the Class II practical than those students who did not have acceptable depth (p=0.03). Performance at an acceptable depth did not significantly improve the likelihood of receiving an A or B on the Complex practical (p=0.15). The LAP II may aid in identification of students who would benefit from early intervention with additional focused instruction.
