Prediction of Preclinical Operative Dentistry Performance in Two Instructional Methods.

Boyd, Marcia; And Others

Journal of Dental Education, v44 n6 p328-31 Jun 1980

The accuracy of manual and academic variables in predicting preclinical operative technique was evaluated. Correlations were low, but significant using the Perceptual Motor Ability Test (PMAT) of the Dental Admission Test. Students with low or average two-dimension scores on the PMAT benefited from an alternate teaching method. (JSR)
