The objectives of this study were to evaluate the number and range of clinical procedures completed by undergraduate dental students in pediatric dentistry in Cork University Dental School and Hospital, Ireland, and to compare the number of procedures undertaken with the subsequent examination scores. The work comprised a retrospective audit of clinical logbooks for all of the undergraduate dental students in one cohort through their fourth and fifth clinical years between 2004 and 2006. Thirty-four quantitative logbooks were audited. Students had seen a total of 1,031 patients, and each student had completed a full course of dental treatment for an average of twenty-two children. Students completed means of 30.2 restorative procedures for children, fourteen in deciduous dentition (range six to twenty-eight), and seventeen in permanent dentition (range seven to twenty-eight). Continuity of education and care (measured through children having their treatment fully completed by the same student) was 72 percent. A moderate positive correlation between levels of clinical experience and exam score was identified. All students gained experience in management of child patients with students providing care for an average of thirty children and a minimum of nineteen.
本研究的目的是评估爱尔兰科克大学牙科学院和医院的本科生在儿牙领域完成的临床操作的数量和范围，并比较所完成的操作数量与后续考试成绩。这项工作包括对 2004 年至 2006 年间一个队列的所有本科牙科学生的临床日志进行回顾性审核，这些学生处于第四和第五临床年。共审核了 34 份定量日志。学生总共看了 1031 名患者，每位学生平均为 22 名儿童完成了一整套牙科治疗。学生们为儿童完成了 30.2 次修复治疗，其中 14 次是在乳牙列（6 至 28 岁），17 次是在恒牙列（7 至 28 岁）。教育和护理的连续性（通过同一学生完成治疗的儿童数量来衡量）为 72%。发现临床经验水平和考试成绩之间存在中度正相关。所有学生都获得了管理儿童患者的经验，平均为 30 名儿童，最低为 19 名。
