“…En odontología se han utilizado las checklists fundamentalmente para evaluar las habilidades del alumno [7,8], aunque recientemente han demostrado el beneficio de su aplicación en la enseñanza de las habilidades clínicas en cirugía [9]. En cuanto a ortodoncia, sólo hemos encontrado checklists enfocadas al uso por parte de los profesionales de la ortodoncia y en el campo específico de la finalización óptima del tratamiento del paciente ortodóncico [10][11][12].…”

Introducción. Las estrategias de razonamiento heurístico predominan en el ámbito clínico. En odontología, y en particular en la práctica clínica diaria ortodóncica, se hace esencial diagnosticar bajo condiciones de presión, lo que fomenta los errores cognitivos por parte de los alumnos. El objetivo de este estudio fue proponer y validar una checklist como herramienta para disminuir los errores cognitivos diagnósticos por parte de los alumnos. Sujetos y métodos.Treinta y seis estudiantes posgraduados realizaron dos evaluaciones clínicas de pacientes, una de la manera tradicional y otra aplicando la checklist propuesta.Resultados. Se produjo una disminución estadísticamente significativa (p < 0,05) en los errores mediante la prueba de los rangos de Wilcoxon tras el uso de la checklist.Conclusiones. La checklist propuesta ha demostrado su eficacia y ha sido evaluada positivamente por los alumnos; sin embargo, se debe prestar especial atención a los errores cognitivos de comisión porque aumenta de manera considerable su proporción.Palabras clave.

Decision-making process in dentistry, and especially in orthodontics, is carry out under conditions of complexity and uncertainty. Therefore, the student decision processes are flawed by cognitive biases. The aim of our study was suggest and validate a checklist to reduce student diagnostic cognitive biases. Subjects and methods.Thirty-six postgraduate students evaluated clinically patients without checklist and using the proposed checklist.Results. Statistically significant difference (p < 0.05) was found using the Wilcoxon matched signed-rank test between two evaluations.Conclusions. Effectiveness is prove by using the proposed checklist in reduce student cognitive errors and students have been positively evaluated it. Nevertheless, special attention is required to new increment of proportion of commission cognitive errors.

“…One such format is the objective structured clinical examination that was introduced to dental education about 20 years ago . More recently, a dental education OSCE focusing on suturing skills has been described . The goal of our study was to assess the impact of repeated testing in comparison with repeated training on suturing skills retention in fourth‐year dental students.…”
