1. Designing Preclinical Instruction for Psychomotor Skills (I)--Theoretical Foundations of Motor Skill Performance and Their Applications to Dental Education.

Author

Feil, Philip H.

Abstract

A theory of motor skill performance in dentistry is presented, and studies of its use in improving preclinical laboratory instruction are reviewed. The model explains how the mind directs the hand so specific outcomes can be achieved, a theory which can be operationalized in instructional design. (MSE)

2. Validation of a Motor Skills Performance Theory with Applications for Dental Education.

Author

Feil, Philip H. and Gatti, John J.

Abstract

Four salient constructs in a contemporary motor learning theory were tested for validity using dental students' verbal self-reporting. Students were videotaped completing a preparation, then interviewed to stimulate recall of mental processes during the preparation. Results support application of the theory to dentistry and have implications for preclinical instruction. (MSE)

3. Continuous Knowledge of Results and Psychomotor Skill Acquisition.

Author

Feil, Philip H.

Abstract

A traditional instructional format that provided instructor-generated terminal knowledge of results was compared with one that also trained students to generate continual knowledge of results using two sections of an operative laboratory. (Author/MLW)

4. The Effectiveness of a Leadup Activity on Performance in an Operative Preclinic Laboratory Course.

Author

Feil, Philip H. and Reed, Tom R.

Abstract

Twenty-six student volunteers participated in an eight-hour self-instructional program and were compared to students in a control group. Analyses of covariance with perceptual ability test indicated that the experimental group statistically significantly outperformed the control group on all but one preparation. (Author/MLW)

5. An Analysis of the Reliability of a Laboratory Evaluation System.

Author

Feil, Philip H.

Abstract

Development of a student evaluation system for two preclinical dental laboratory courses is described. The system uses an analytic technique for identifying components of the evaluation system that contribute to and detract from the evaluation's reliability. Further refinements based on this technique are discussed. (Author/MSE)

6. Measurement of Oxide Adherence to Silver-Free High-Palladium Alloys.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to test the adherence strength of oxides to some silver-free high-palladium alloys, and to compare the results to values obtained from Au-Pd and Ni-Cr metals. The results showed that the adherence strengths of the oxides were greater than the reported cohesive strength of opaque porcelain. This would indicate that the oxides formed on the alloys examined in this study are sufficiently adherent to their substrates to produce adequate porcelain bonds. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

7. Reproducibility of occlusal contacts relative to mounting cast variables.

Abstract

This study evaluated the accuracy of occlusal contacts relative to the mode in which casts are mounted. Specifically, the direct effect on occlusal contacts was assessed with respect to: (a) the type of mounting stone used; (b) the amount of material used relative to the distance between the mounting plate and the cast base; and (c) the presence or absence of a restriction of the articulator's vertical opening. A 3 x 2 x 2 factorial analysis of variance and a Dunn's Multiple Comparison Procedure (P < .05) showed that one of the three mounting stones was statistically significantly less accurate in reproducing occlusal contacts when a distance of 19 mm existed between the cast and the articulator, regardless of the existence of articulator restriction.
