Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) dramatically changed the learning conditions of dental students, with restricted access to training sessions and clinical practice. The "Playdent" project proposed the integration of serious games (SGs) in the third-year curriculum, based on tailor-made scenarios questioning the first dental visit of edentulous patients, and examined whether training with the games would advance students' learning outcomes.

Health Knowledge, Attitudes, Practice	Device: Playing Serious Games during a four-week test period in addition to conventional lectures	N/A

Detailed Description

Three Serious games proposed in addition to conventional lectures and practical exercises in oral rehabilitation of edentulous patients were supposed to improve knowledge and skills of undergraduates. However, in order to assess the influence of SGs on students' learning outcomes and subsequent satisfaction, a single-blind controlled protocol was designed. The null hypothesis was that SGs had no impact on the learning outcomes of undergraduate students.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

1. performance [One month]

   Students' performance for managing a dental visit of edentulous patients were assessed by measuring score to a test developed by the teaching team. Scores were calculated ranging from 0 (no correct answer) to 15 (100% correct answers).

Secondary Outcome Measures

1. students' satisfaction [one month]

   a questionnaire was drawn up for the students in the form of an self-administered questionnaire, which included questions pertaining to their satisfaction ranging from 0 (=very unsatisfactory) to 10 (=very satisfactory).
