Course induced dexterity development and cerebellar grey matter growth of dentistry students: a randomised trial

Abstract This study primarily focuses on the assessment of dentistry students’ improvement of manual skills resulting from their participation in courses. We aimed to prove that systematic manual skills development significantly improves dexterity. We hypothesized that the dexterity training regimen...
