Assessment of practical skills in undergraduate dental education has difficulties, including a lack of transparency/objectivity in student evaluations. This prospective study investigated whether agreement between student- and faculty-based assessments increased when students were trained to use the assessment criteria. ⋯ Pre-defined assessment criteria may increase consistency between student self-assessment and instructor assessment depending on the task, improving transparency and feedback in dental education.
