Background: One of the greatest challenges in education is ensuring all students acquire competencies and retain those competencies over a long period of time. At the same time, the correct execution of practical skills is highly necessary. This study investigates the role of feedback reception stemming from teaching associates. Materials and Methods: All fourth year dental students at a German university who completed their internship in cmf-surgery participated. The students were randomized into two groups. Student’s competency directly after intervention and three months after the training was measured. Results: A total of 39 students were included. At both time points, the intervention group performed significantly better than the control group (p = <.001). Conclusion: The integration of teaching associates to instruct complex practical skills, has a significant positive effect on retaining transferred information on a short- and long-term basis.
