All fourth\u2010year undergraduate dental students enrolled in the preclinical endodontics course completed a baseline questionnaire assessing self\u2010perceived competence before HVRS training, using the Simodont dental trainer, during which students performed access cavity preparations on six virtual tooth types. Subsequently, students performed complete root canal treatments on NT mounted in simulated clinical conditions. Self\u2010perceived competence was reassessed after completion of the training sequence, together with students' perceptions of both training modalities. Self\u2010efficacy was measured at the end of the training using an adapted Endodontic General Self\u2010Efficacy Scale. Pre\u2010post differences in self\u2010perceived competence were analysed using the Wilcoxon signed\u2010rank test and correlations using Spearman's rank correlation coefficient, with Benjamini\u2010Hochberg correction for multiple comparisons.
