Agreement between 2 raters’ evaluations of a traditional prosthodontic practical exam integrated with directly observed procedural skills in Egypt

sample of 76 students was monitored by 2 raters to evaluate the process and the final registered maxillomandibular relation for a completely edentulous patient at Mansoura Dental School, Egypt on a practical exam of bachelor’s students from May 15 to June 28, 2017. Each registered relation was evaluated from a total of 60 marks subdivided into 3 score categories: occlusal plane orientation (OPO), vertical dimension registration (VDR), and centric relation registration (CRR). The marks for each category included an assessment of DOPS.

2017年5月15日至6月28日，在埃及曼苏拉牙科学院面向本科学生开展的实操考核中，本研究选取76名学生作为研究样本，由2名评估者对其操作流程，以及为完全无牙颌患者记录的最终上下颌关系进行监测与评估。每份记录的上下颌关系均以总分60分进行评定，该总分被划分为3个评分维度：咬合平面取向（occlusal plane orientation，OPO）、垂直距离记录（vertical dimension registration，VDR）以及正中关系记录（centric relation registration，CRR）。各评分维度的成绩均包含操作技能直接观察评估（Direct Observation of Procedural Skills，DOPS）的考核内容。
