ABSTRACT
Background:
Participation in video games or playing a musical instrument appears to promote skills that may be beneficial for preclinical learning in dentistry. However, we found a lack of studies specifically addressing this issue in the field of dentistry.
Objective:
Our objective is to evaluate whether the ability to mentally represent a volume in three dimensions, the precision of gestures with the right and left hand, or the speed of execution of the gesture is better at baseline or progresses faster for players (video games and/or music).
Methods:
A prospective monocentric controlled and longitudinal study will be conducted since September 2023 and will last until April 2025 in the Faculty of Dental Surgery of Nantes. Participants were students before starting their preclinical training.
Results:
This protocol was approved by the Ethics, Deontology and Scientific Integrity Committee of Nantes University. 86 2nd year dental surgery students were enrolled to participate in the study in September 2023.
Conclusions:
The practice of video games and music could be a potential tool to improve manual dexterity and cognitive skills.
