Based on pilot study's promising results, we decided to further investigate the impact of adapting Planmeca Romexis Compare software to evaluate pulpal access preparations on second-year dental students' technical performance, self-evaluation skills and opinions. No educational records, grades, coursework, or any other assignments that are completed as part of the regular class will be analyzed as part of this study.
