Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
It is expected to find acquisition of knowledge regarding the diagnosis of developmental defects of enamel evaluated by the number of correct answers in a structured questionnaire containing ten clinical cases applied immediately after the intervention and re applied after six months

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
It is expected to observe self perception of confidence in the diagnosis evaluated using a five point Likert scale associated with each question of the diagnostic questionnaire applied immediately after the intervention and re applied after six months
