Effectiveness of manual dexterity assessment methods for preclinical training in Dentistry
The DMDA test presented the best performance, with statistical significance and acceptable discrimination, showing greater effectiveness for assessing students' manual dexterity. Therefore, the implementation of the DMDA test can significantly contribute to the early identification of motor dexterity difficulties in dental students, enabling more effective and targeted interventions.
