Abstract
Background: The removable partial denture (RPD) is used to replace one or multiple missing teeth in partially edentulous patient. It is commonly taught in both undergraduate dental schools, and post-graduate Prosthodontic residency around the globe. There is inconsistency in the teaching of RPD designing, with no published workplace-based assessment (WPBA) tool. Literature has highlighted that the patient were provided less than optimal quality of prosthesis which is reflection of poor understanding of the clinician. Therefore, the aim of this study is to develop and validate WPBA tool for the teaching of RPD designing.
Methodology: A tool development and validation study were designed in Aga Khan University, Hospital (AKUH). The tool was developed following the published literature and validated by national and internation subject experts (07) and medical educationalist (02). The newly validation tool was tested among all the eight Prosthodontic residents of AKUH by six senior prosthodontic faculty on three different cases on two different assessment days. The data collected was tabulated and statistical tests were run using SPSS (Version 19).
Results: The content validation index (Avg/S-CVI) demonstrated high expert agreement (0.96 for clarity, 0.99 for relevance, and comprehensiveness), indicating that the tool effectively captures essential aspects of RPD design assessment. In terms of reliability, the CSR tool showed excellent internal consistency with Cronbach’s Alpha values 0.947. Interrater reliability (ICC) of 0.947 (ranging from 0.903 to 0.978). However, its ability to distinguish between junior and senior residents was not statistically significant.
Conclusion: The newly developed CSR for RPD designing has excellent content validity, high reliability (internal consistency and interrater reliability), reflecting the tool’s robustness in measuring key competencies. The results highlight that the learning has occurred during this intervention reflecting the strong utility of this tool in teaching of RPD designing.
