Type: article
Abstract: OBJECTIVES Define Quality Assurance (QA) & classify reasons for rejection of removable prosthodontic restorations during faculty QA review in predoctoral student clinic. Develop learning aids to make students aware of the most common reasons and how to avoid them. METHODS Three-year retrospective analysis of reasons for rejection during QA review of student's planned restorations. Categories of failure were organized in rank order. RESULTS Reasons for rejection in rank order: (1) Work Auth./Misc. (2) Impression (3) Casts/Articulation (4) Prep Design (5) Working Dies CONCLUSIONS QA is an integral part of predoctoral dental education, helping students to develop critical appraisal skills of restoration work. Learning aids developed from a student perspective may help students pre-emptively correct and avoid similar errors in the clinical setting. IMPLICATIONS Results of this analysis will make students more aware of and may help mitigate future errors in these categories, improving workflow within the clinic.
