Assessing competency in Dentoalveolar surgery: a 3‐year study of cumulative experience in the undergraduate curriculum

Abstract

This study demonstrates that it is possible to achieve objectively measurable levels of competence in undergraduates undertaking oral surgery procedures. It is however, a labour and time intensive process and appropriate clinical and teaching resources are required. National co-operation towards agreed standardised competencies should be encouraged to allow data to be pooled and more powerful analyses to occur.
