B2. I feel confident that I could extract an upper single rooted tooth with an intact crown, in an otherwise intact dentition. | 0.896 | (0.841–0.932) | 0.812 |
B3. I feel confident that I could remove visible retained roots of an upper left first molar with elevators or forceps. | 0.952 | (0.926–0.968) | 0.914 |
B4. I feel confident to assess and perform the surgical management of a failed extraction (e.g. a lower second molar) necessitating: a) The raising of a mucoperiosteal flap | 0.989 | (0.983–0.993) | 0.978 |
B4b) Bone removal. | 0.986 | (0.979–0.991) | 0.972 |
B4c) Sectioning the tooth to facilitate elevation of the roots. | 0.980 | (0.97–0.987) | 0.961 |

B6. I feel confident to manage haemorrhage from a socket. | 0.978 | (0.967–0.986) | 0.958 |
B7. I feel confident to assess an impacted mandibular third molar with respect to guidelines and recognise the need for surgical removal. | 0.976 | (0.964–0.984) | 0.954 |
B8. I feel confident that I can recognise the clinical features of potentially malignant and malignant lesions of the oral cavity. | 0.976 | (0.964–0.985) | 0.954 |
B9. I feel confident that I can write an appropriate referral letter to a specialist in an appropriate time frame dependent on the clinical problem. | 0.948 | (0.920–0.966) | 0.901 |
B10. I feel competent to differentiate between pain of odontogenic and non-odontogenic origin. | 0.989 | (0.983–0.993) | 0.980 |
D1. I believe my teaching in anatomy has been appropriate for my clinical needs in oral surgery. | 1.000 | (1.000–1.000) | 1.000 |
D2. I am more confident about undertaking oral surgery because of my knowledge and understanding of head and neck anatomy. | 1.000 | (1.000–1.000) | 1.000 |
D3. The only anatomical knowledge needed for oral surgery is that of jaw and tooth morphology | 1.000 | (1.000–1.000) | 1.000 |
E1. Oral surgery is an enjoyable and rewarding discipline. | 1.000 | (1.000–1.000) | 1.000 |
