Purpose: Dental education, and pediatric dentistry education specifically, face varied challenges in the pursuit of preparing competent and confident oral health professionals. The authors introduced a gradual release of responsibility (GRR) pedagogy designed to balance traditional instruction and active learning strategies. Three training modules were developed utilizing GRR to test whether the pedagogy improved first-time pass rates on an Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE). Methods: Online modules were created using a modified GRR framework. These modules addressed three topics that historically had higher failure rates on the fourth year OSCE: local anesthesia calculation, pulpal diagnosis in primary teeth, and emergency treatment of dental trauma. First-time pass rates and overall exam performance were compared to five-year historical data as the control with the chi-square test of independence. Students also answered a 10-item, five-point pre- and post-module completion Likert scale questionnaire reflecting student self-efficacy and the results were compared using a Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed-rank test. Results: First-time pass rates for the test group (n=228) were significantly improved compared to the control group (n=546) for pulpal diagnosis (P=.002), dental trauma management (P=.002), and overall OSCE performance (P=.003). First-time pass rates for local anesthesia calculation were not significantly different (P=.09). Student self-efficacy significantly improved for all 10 items (P<.001). Conclusions: Using the GRR pedagogy improved student scores on a pediatric dentistry OSCE. This pedagogy holds promise in developing engaged learners across dental education settings.
