Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The study expects potato ear carving to prove a reliable and effective tool. for assessing fine motor skills in oral surgery residents. It is anticipated that residents with more advanced training will demonstrate superior performance in carving tasks, showing higher precision and anatomical accuracy. The method should be well-received, offering valuable feedback on skill development. Additionally, the findings may highlight the potential of potato ear carving as an accessible, low-cost alternative for early-stage fine motor skill assessment and training in oral surgery, contributing to improved competency and patient safety.Timepoint: 21 days	—
