Software supported evaluation of preparations
Future dental practitioners need to be trained well in the skill of preparations. Yet, given the increasing number of students and fewer members of staff, less and less time is available to discuss students’ work. prepCheck is an easy-to-learn system based on objective measurement procedures, which documents and analyses students’ results, and also allows the results to be called up at a later stage. It is a combination of Primescan or Omnicam and the prepCheck analysis software installed on the CEREC AC.
Benefits
Why Choose prepCheck?
Fully automatic 3D analysis
Objective assessment of preparations and fillings
Innovative reproducible results
Archiving of analysis data
Well-established CEREC system
Worthwhile investment
The ideal addition to your training environment
Benefits for faculty
Computer-aided training helps to save time on the evaluation of preparations and allows to focus on teaching. It also becomes easier to apply uniform standards throughout the whole university. Students are engaged to learn faster and improve their understanding. Objective and legitimate grading is now possible to realise.
Benefits for students
Students are able to work at their own pace while receiving immediate and objective feedback. It is also possible to practice after class and on weekends.
"In the beginning as a student, you are always uncertain in preparations, especially with a patient. prepCheck has given me more self-assurance."
Christine Wiebe, Dental student of pre- and clinical training. Faculty of Oral and Dental Medicine at J.W. Goethe-University Frankfurt am Main
Why is prepCheck so easy to use?
prepCheck uses a colour concept whereby the quality of the results is displayed using various colours. The main colours are green, blue and red:
Green - The result is not within the specified value range, however the user is still able to improve the preparation.
Blue - The result is within the specified value range.
Red - The result is not within the specified value range and the user is no longer able to make improvements.
How does prepCheck work?
prepCheck in pre-clinical as well as clinical training
prepCheck can be used in two different modes:
Comparison with “Master Preparation”
Within this function, the user has the option of duplicating a precisely specified preparation, the "Master Preparation". The analysis function calculates a 3D comparison between the student’s preparation and the master preparation and depicts the deviations between the two preparations in colour.
This function is used in pre-clinical education.
Comparison with pre-defined parameter values
prepCheck is also able to compare a student’s preparation against parameters that were pre-set for defined indications (instead against a master preparation). Deviations between the parameters of the two preparations are depicted in colour.
This function is used in clinical education when working on patients, and can also be used in pre-clinical education.
