All subjects were assessed on skills in the performance of an oral exam, by direct observation. Residents' confidence regarding oral health counseling, and their opinions about the importance of the incorporation of oral health into the well child visit, was measured by surveys utilizing a Likert scale. Residents' change in practice was assessed by a retrospective chart audit.
