Article Abstract
Aims And Objective: To assess the knowledge as well as attitude of dental students to OSCE exams.
Materials And Methods: With the aim of evaluating the knowledge and attitude of dental students to OSCE exams, the present study was planned and it consisted of total 1000 dental students (Third year, Final year, and Interns) who have taken the OSCE examinations. The survey included a questionnaire in addition to a subsection on participants' demographic information. In addition, a 3-point scale was used to rate the OSCE's impartiality, complexity, education level, as well as favored frequency of usage in comparison with various evaluation formats.
Results: 562 were males while the remaining 438 were females. While evaluating the student's perception, 36.3 percent of the students agreed that OSCE examination gave precise measure of clinical dental skills. 23.1 percent of the students said OSCE was uniform in terms of standardization, while 25 percent of the students agreed that OSCE score was independent of personality, ethnicity, and gender.
Conclusion: To recapitulate, the outcomes of this research gave rise to the notion that the OSCE represents a valid as well as objective evaluation tool for clinical abilities.

Objectives: Teaching dental anesthesia techniques poses a considerable challenge, primarily due to the limited availability of tools that effectively replicate clinical procedures in preclinical settings. Over the past decade, haptic dental simulators have emerged as promising training aids for various dental procedures, including local anesthesia. This study aimed to evaluate the educational value of a haptic dental simulator in teaching the inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) technique by assessing the experiences and perceptions of dental students with varying levels of clinical exposure.
