Evaluation of the Simodont training system in general dentistry residency training using Mini-CEX+DOPS
To evaluate the application value of mini-clinical evaluation exercise-direct observation of procedural skills (Mini-CEX-DOPS) in the assessment of the Simodont digital virtual simulation training system in general dentistry residency training.
Methods
2
A total of 172 general dentistry residents at West China Hospital of Stomatology
Sichuan University
from January 2023 to December 2024 were enrolled and randomly assigned to two groups using a random number table. The control group received traditional teaching
and the training group received Simodont digital virtual simulation training and traditional teaching. Through clinical treatment of real patients
differences between groups were compared in Mini-CEX+DOPS assessment scores
exit examination scores
and teaching satisfaction. A statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 22.0 software. Categorical data were analyzed using the chi-square test
and inter-group comparisons were performed using the independent-samples
t
test with a significance level of
α
=0.05.
Results
2
There were no significant differences in Mini-CEX scores between the two groups at the beginning of residency training at the Department of General Dentistry (
P
>
0.05). At the end of residency training
the Mini-CEX scores of the training group in clinical consultation
physical examination
and humanistic care were higher than those of the control group (
P
<
0.05); the comprehensive competency score of the training group was (7.65±0.50)
while that of the control group was (6.84±0.43). The comprehensive competency scores of both groups were higher at the end of residency training compared to that at the beginning of residency training (
P
<
0.05). At the beginning of residency training
there were no significant differences in DOPS assessment scores between the two groups (
P
>
0.05). At the end of residency training
the DOPS evaluation sc
ores were higher in the training group than in the control group (
P
<
0.05). The overall operation skill scores for the training and control groups were (7.61±0.45) and (6.90±0.31)
respectively. The DOPS scores of both groups were higher at the end of residency training compared to those at the beginning of residency training (
P
<
0.05). The theoretical evaluation
professional skill
and medical record writing quality scores of the training group were higher than those of the control group (
P
<
0.05); the professional skill scores of the training and control groups were (86.32±4.12) and (77.39±4.58)
respectively. The overall satisfaction of the training group was higher than that of the control group [95.35%(82/86) vs. 70.93%(61/86)
P
<
0.05
]
.
Conclusions
2
Based on the formative evaluation system of Mini-CEX+DOPS
the Simodont digital virtual simulation training system can improve the training effectiveness
physician satisfaction
teaching quality
and patient satisfaction in general dentistry residency training. This approach has significant application value and promising prospects for broader promotion.
