The objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) is becoming an increasingly established assessment test in dental schools. The use of simulated patients in the OSCE makes the stations more similar to clinical practice. Therefore, the student can show their technical and clinical knowledge, and certainly, their ability to manage the patient. These sorts of tests, in which simulated patients can be included, would be used before the student started clinical practice with patients and/or at the end of the degree. The objective of this work was to describe how the periodontology station was developed using a simulated patient for students of a fifth year dentistry degree taking an OSCE test. Furthermore, a questionnaire was created to learn the perception of the students about this station and its characteristics. The fifth year students at the European University of Madrid positively evaluated this station in their examination. In addition, it was recorded that they preferred a simulated patient in their tests, rather than stations with clinical cases, images, X-rays, and presentations. It is essential that once the OSCE has been completed, the student receives a feedback to learn where they have failed and, therefore, be able to improve any of the aspects evaluated in the station.
客观结构化临床考试（OSCE）在牙科学院中越来越成为一种既定的评估测试。在 OSCE 中使用模拟患者使站点更类似于临床实践。因此，学生可以展示他们的技术和临床知识，当然，还有他们管理患者的能力。这些类型的测试，其中可以包括模拟患者，将在学生开始与患者进行临床实践之前和/或在学位结束时使用。这项工作的目的是描述如何使用模拟患者为参加 OSCE 测试的五年级牙科学生开发牙周病站。此外，创建了一份问卷，以了解学生对该站及其特点的看法。马德里欧洲大学的五年级学生在考试中对这个站点给予了积极评价。此外，记录到他们在测试中更喜欢模拟患者，而不是具有临床病例、图像、X 光片和演示的站点。至关重要的是，一旦完成 OSCE，学生就会收到反馈，了解他们失败的地方，从而能够改进站点评估的任何方面。
