Abstract: Objectives: The aim was to develop a clinical instructional video to increase the self‐reported confidence levels of dental undergraduates in different aspects of using a luxator. Methods: Distribution of a questionnaire allowed fourth‐ and final‐year dental students (N = 165) at the University of Leeds to report their confidence in different aspects of luxator use. After the development and distribution of a clinical instructional video, student could evaluate the effectiveness of the video and report their confidence levels through a second questionnaire and focus group interviews. The pre‐ and post‐video questionnaire results were compared using descriptive statistics. Reflexive thematic analysis was used to analyse data collected through focus group interviews. Results: The response rate of completed questionnaires was 49% pre‐video (N = 82) and 29% post‐video (N = 49). The mean percentage of students who reported high confidence levels was lower before viewing the video (26.8%) than after (69.4%). The reasons behind reported confidence levels varied for each individual. The video was considered to be highly effective in allowing visualisation of technique and viewed as a valuable resource for revision. Whilst students perceived that the video had a positive impact on their self‐confidence, they still expressed need for small‐group practical teaching regarding luxators. Conclusions: The utilisation of a clinical instructional video resource increased the self‐reported confidence levels of dental undergraduates in different aspects of using a luxator.
