Abstract

Background with Aim of the Study

Assessment is crucial to the success of any educational program. In the dental school, students need to provide treatment for patients early in their clinical study. In Iraqi dental schools, this task is undertaken from the third year on. They must acquire both knowledge and skills to be capable, efficient practitioners.

Materials and Methods

The study was done during the academic year’s second semester of fifth-stage students. One hundred and eighteen students participated in this study. Each student was provided with the same questionnaire’s form. The form consists of 5 domains, and each domain consists of 2 items, answered by choosing one of the available options. Both descriptive as well as inferential statistics were applied to the data using SPSS version 11.5. Chi-square and Pearson tests for correlation analysis.

Results

A significant relationship between each of the cavity preparation, pulp capping, cavity lining, filling, and overall performance with the time. The vast majority of the responses reflected a “good” and “very good” level of evaluation. However, pulp capping and cavity lining did not reflect the same level of satisfaction in general. The result of this study indicates that the criteria adopted in the academic evaluation and patient-based outcome move in parallel directions. Academic staff evaluation includes that students are more challenging when they perform delicate procedures, and this is reflected by their evaluation toward such procedures (pulp capping and lining).

Conclusion

The students’ self-evaluation of their performance in the Operative Department seems logical. They seem to have reasonable level of satisfaction toward their performance. However, additional efforts are needed to assess students’ views on management of any procedural challenges.
