Summary

This prospective cohort study evaluates dental students' self-assessment of clinical endodontic performance and compares it with independent evaluations conducted in a dental education clinical setting. Endodontic treatments are performed by undergraduate dental students using two distinct rotary file systems selected according to routine clinical practice. Students' self-assessments are prospectively collected using a structured questionnaire and compared with evaluations performed by two experienced evaluators with access to clinical and radiographic information, considered the reference standard, as well as by two different experienced evaluators using radiographic information only. Secondary analyses examine whether assessment outcomes differ according to the rotary file system used. The null hypothesis is that there is no difference between dental students' self-assessments and reference standard evaluations of endodontic treatment quality, and that assessment outcomes do not differ according to the rotary file system used.
