Abstract
Operative Dentistry is a branch of dentistry involving the art and science of diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of defects of teeth. In the two-year Operative Dentistry Course at the Faculty of Dentistry UKM, the students are required to complete a minimum number of clinical treatment using direct restorative materials. The clinical assessment comprises of qualitative and quantitative assessment of the restoration completed by the students until the end of the course. A point-based system was implemented whereby treatment codes were generated for a range of dental treatment that can be carried out during Operative Dentistry clinical session. The system was proven satisfactory and it also improves on the students’ assessment process.
