Beschreibung: Abstract Objectives This study aims to assess the impact of preclinical training using instructional typodont-phantom head on undergraduate students’ anxiety levels, clinical performance, and satisfaction. Materials & methods Sixty-fourth-year students from Istanbul Okan University with no clinical periodontal experience were randomly divided into two groups. Both groups received one hour of theoretical periodontal training on comprehensive examination and supragingival instrumentation. Group 1 received only theoretical training, while Group 2 additionally completed 60 min of hands-on preclinical training using a typodont-phantom head with artificial calculus. Before their first patient procedures, students completed a state anxiety test and afterward rated their training satisfaction on a VAS. Clinical performance was assessed using a scaling operation score sheet. Results Group 2 had significantly higher clinical performance (77.67 ± 17.17) and satisfaction scores (8.23 ± 1.79) compared to Group 1 (59.93 ± 15.38 and 6.67 ± 1.62, respectively; p
