Introduction: Proper wound closure is essential for tissue healing after surgery. As primary oral surgeons, general dentists must acquire proficient suturing skills. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of a hands-on suturing workshop on dental students' knowledge and performance.
Materials and Methods: This randomized clinical trial included 102 fifth- and sixth-year dental students from Isfahan (2021), randomly allocated into intervention and control groups (n=51 each). Participant’s knowledge and performance regarding intraoral suturing were assessed before and one month after the workshop using questionnaires and checklists. Data were analyzed using paired t-test, ANOVA, ANCOVA, and Wilcoxon tests, with a significance level of p<0.05.
Results: The mean scores of knowledges and performance in suturing techniques were moderate overall. No significant correlation was found with gender, academic year, or GPA. However, scores showed a significant relationship with baseline knowledge and the training method. The group that received hands-on training demonstrated significantly higher scores (p<0.001).
Conclusion: Dental students' knowledge and performance in suturing techniques are currently insufficient, and training in this area is limited. The hands-on workshop significantly improved both the knowledge and practical skills of students in intraoral suturing techniques.
