Abstract: Dankook University School of Dentistry has established a student cohort system to assess in tooth preparation competency. This system tracks educational outcomes from admission to graduation, consolidating data that was previously scattered. It enables efficient collection and analysis of information across various educational domains. The dataset comprises self-assessment surveys, learning outcome evaluations, academic records, and national dental licensing examination results. This information is utilized for curriculum improvement, student feedback, and patient care strategy development. The cohort system focuses primarily on tooth preparation skills and is used to monitor students' core competencies. Dankook University School of Dentistry aims to improve educational methods and enhance students' clinical abilities through this initiative. This approach represents an implementation of data-driven educational practices in dental education. The information gathered from operating the cohort system will be used to refine the educational processes at Dankook University School of Dentistry. The establishment of this tooth preparation competency cohort system demonstrates a structured approach to tracking and improving dental students' skills. It provides a framework for continuous assessment and improvement of dental education, potentially offering insights for other dental institutions seeking to enhance their educational outcomes and student performance monitoring systems.
