Assessment of Depth and Distance Perception in Preclinical Dental Students

Spatial perception accuracy in preclinical dental students is influenced by target properties such as length, depth, and cavity width, while individual visual factors may also play a role. Findings support the integration of routine visual screening and perceptual training into dental curricula to enhance spatial judgment and clinical performance.

Abstract

Spatial perception accuracy in preclinical dental students is influenced by target properties such as length, depth, and cavity width, while individual visual factors may also play a role. Findings support the integration of routine visual screening and perceptual training into dental curricula to enhance spatial judgment and clinical performance.
