Abstract
Written and clinical tests compared the change in clinical knowledge and practical clinical skill of first‐year dental students watching a clinical video recording of the three‐step etch‐and‐rinse resin bonding system to those using an interactive dental video game teaching the same procedure. The research design was a randomized controlled trial with eighty first‐year dental students enrolled in the preclinical operative dentistry course. Students’ change in knowledge was measured through written examination using a pre‐test and a post‐test, as well as clinical tests in the form of a benchtop shear bond strength test. There was no statistically significant difference between teaching methods in regards to change in either knowledge or clinical skills, with one minor exception relating to the wetness of dentin following etching. Students expressed their preference for an interactive self‐paced method of teaching.
