This study explores the relationship between time to complete a manual dexterity exercise and quality of restorative dentistry. Ninety-seven general practitioners volunteered to take part in the study. An average of 14 patients per office were recalled and an average of five recent restorations per patient were examined clinically by trained peer reviewers. Subsequently, 74 of the 97 dentists participated in a session in which the O'Connor Tweezer Dexterity test was administered. Pearson correlations between speed on the test of tweezer dexterity and quality measures indicated that, on the average, those practitioners who took longer to complete the tweezer test achieved significantly higher scores on restorative quality.
本研究探讨完成一项手部灵巧度练习所需时间与牙体修复质量之间的关系。97名全科医生自愿参与了该研究。每个诊所平均召回14名患者，由经过培训的同行评审员对每名患者平均5个近期修复体进行临床检查。随后，97名牙医中的74名参加了一场进行奥康纳镊子灵巧度测试的环节。镊子灵巧度测试速度与质量指标之间的皮尔逊相关性表明，平均而言，完成镊子测试用时较长的从业者在修复质量方面得分显著更高。
