Objectives: The aim of present study was to obtain information from senior dental students enrolled in Yeditepe University Faculty of Dentistry related to their confidence levels during endodontic treatment procedures.
Materials and Methods: Anonymous survey forms were distributed to 40 senior dental students enrolled in Yeditepe University Faculty of Dentistry. They were asked to indicate their self confidence level by Lickert’s scoring system ranging between 1 and 5.
Results: Retreatment procedure was a treatment type in which 15% of the students reported as having very little confidence. The majority of the students (67.5%) felt confident about taking radiographs during endodontic treatment. Meanwhile, irrigation was a procedure in which students felt high level of confidence (82.5%). Retrieval of broken instruments was determined as a procedure that was not experienced by 65% of the students.
Conclusion: Further research comprising other schools is warranted to identify the weak areas during endodontic treatment in order to bring resolutions for the delivery of skills during endodontic procedures. Keywords: Self-confidence, Endodontics, Endodontic procedure steps, Senior Students
