Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

Glass ceramic onlay preparation
Procedure/Surgery
The participants engaged in two practice sessions, each lasting two hours. They either started with their dominant hand followed by non-dominant hand or practiced solely with their non-dominant hand. Each participant prepared a mandibular left first molar resin typodont fixed to the table for a glass ceramic onlay restoration. Preparation was conducted extraorally.
