Description
Luis Genaro and co-authors test ways to measure hand skill in dental students in a study from two thousand twenty-four. Fine finger control matters for cavity work, and schools want tests that predict who will struggle in preclinical training. Five assessment methods were compared in ninety-five fifth-year students.
Scores on real cavity and filling work served as the standard. A dentistry-specific dexterity test performed best, with clear significance and acceptable discrimination. Two classic pegboard and finger tests did not reach significance. The authors recommend the dental test for early screening, so students with motor difficulties can get targeted help sooner.
