Abstract
This article aims to find out how the dental students at New York University College of Dentistry (NYUCD)
evaluate the balance between the amount of theory taught and practice time allotted in cavity preparation
presented in General Dentistry Simulation I so that recommendations to improve the curriculum can be
formulated. An IRB approved anonymous six-question survey questionnaire was distributed to the dental
students in the second (D2), third (D3) and fourth (D4) year at NYUCD. The questionnaire consisted of
scaled responses so as to gain insight into the undergraduate opinion and their perception of whether the
amount of theory and practice of cavity preparation presented in General Dentistry Simulation I was
sufficient. Overall, the majority of the dental students felt that there was enough theory and practice for
cavity preparation. The second year students want more theory and the third year students want more
practice time
