A Comparative Pilot Study of Computer‐Based Evaluation Software Versus Traditional Evaluation in Preclinical Operative Procedures

In this study, tolerance levels that best correlated the Compare Software grades with the faculty grades were determined for three operative procedures: Class I preparation, Class II preparation, and Class II restoration. This Compare Software can be used as a valuable adjunct method for grading of student preparations and restorations. It also provides a practical tool for students to self-evaluate their preclinical operative procedures.
