[prepCheck computer-supported objective evaluation of students preparation in preclinical simulation laboratory]. Swiss Dent J. 2014;124(10):1085-92 Authors: Lenherr P, Marinello CP Abstract Applications such as “prepCheck” allow objective and consistent judgments of tooth preparations. Hereby the respective preparation is matched with a standardized preparation. Whereas the learning curve in the beginning is time-consuming, after some time the faculty members will be relieved from additional mentoring time in the preclinical simulation laboratory. Students independently get an objective self-assessment by the software. Time and effort at the moment are in a misbalance since three scans (preparation, occlusion record, opposite jaw) are necessary. A simple one-scan procedure would be preferable. “prepCheck” is considered as a user-friendly software. It will play an essential role in the objective assessment of students tooth preparations in the future education. PMID: 25341525 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]
