IntroductionCOVID‐19 emergency caused several effects on the dental educational system, especially affecting courses including practical activities. The study aims to evaluate the impact of the suspension of dental clinical activities on the Italian dental students' self‐confidence. Furthermore, the other purpose of the research is to find an integrative didactics solution to improve the clinical training of dentistry during the COVID‐19 pandemic.Materials and MethodsA questionnaire was administered to evaluate the impact of the suspension of clinical activities on dental students' self‐confidence. A 67‐questions survey tested the students' self‐confidence in several dental disciplines (Conservative Dentistry, Endodontics, Oral Surgery and Dental Emergency). The study reached a sample of 193 dental students and the answers from 9 different Italian dental schools were analysed.ResultsThe degree of students' self‐confidence for all the dental disciplines investigated was found statistically different between the periods before and after the interruption of clinical activities. The students proposed, as a potential solution to improve their practice during the COVID‐19 pandemic, to combinate the use of a video tutorials and dental simulators.ConclusionThe interruption of the training in clinical practice significantly affected the educational career and the self‐confidence of students. An alternative teaching method involving the use of video tutorials as support in teaching clinical procedures deserves to be considered.
