Since two of the participants did not perform a root canal treatment on a patient between the summative assessment and the time of the evaluation, the quality of the root canal treatment was determined for 22 participants. Sixty-eight percent of the evaluated root canal treatments were of good quality. Students who performed root canal treatment of good quality answered the question ‘I Annemarie Baaij.indd 45 28-06-2023 12:26
