Low-fidelity Medical Simulation: Relevance in the Learning of Dental Students in South Africa.

Background: Healthcare embraces simulation's learning boost, from medicine to dentistry. But can it unlock the secrets of intricate fixed prosthodontics? This study takes a pioneering step to find out.

Aim: To evaluate low-fidelity medical simulation (LFMSim) in fixed prosthodontics by assessing its effectiveness in training corono-radicular preparations and by exploring participants' perceptions of LFMSim as an innovative teaching tool for developing pre-practice skills.
