[Evaluation of manual dexterity in dental students at the Budapest University].
Dentistry needs increased consideration in sensomotoric manipulation and coordinations of movements. The entrance procedure does not give any informations about ability of candidates. In history of Budapest University there were some shots about aptitude tests. The first tests were found out by Istvan Pesthy in 1963, which were testing only the manual skills, and were made by the passed-in students. The results did not affect the entrance. From 1974. Ferenc Molnár suggested a tentative manual test, which were compared with the other entrance tests results. The third generation of aptitude tests was not established, but the testing of manual skills and psychological aptness would be necessary in the entrance procedure.
