Summary

The present study investigates confidence levels reported among intern dentists who used dental anesthesia simulators, before performing local anesthesia on patients as well as patient reports on intern dentist confidence levels to deliver anesthesia injections and compare them to those who did not receive dental anesthesia simulator education. Application success rates will also be investigated and compared.

The study was carried out in the dental anesthesia simulator laboratory and in the faculty clinics of Ankara University, Faculty of Dentistry. A hundred volunteer intern dentists who completed the third year of the 5-year undergraduate education program and who had not performed local anesthesia on a patient contributed. Seventy intern dentists received training on dental anesthesia simulators, and made applications on patients, while 30 intern dentists made applications without training on the dental anesthesia simulators and served as control. With a prepared single questionnaire, intern dentists made self-assessment of preparedness and confidence, educators made assessment of application success rates and treated patients evaluated intern dentists' confidence levels.
