Abstract

Introduction: 3D-printed teeth/models are important adjuncts in dental education. Nevertheless, there is a lack of simulated cases to learn and understand complex treatment scenarios, including anamnesis, diagnosis, treatment planning and therapy.

Material and methods: Third-year students (n = 44) received a complete 3D-printed model (upper and lower jaw) of a patient who needed emergency treatment. Based on the information provided (i) general history, (ii) specific dental history, (iii) radiographs, the students made a diagnosis and planned the treatment, which they performed independently under supervision. The case included periodontal, restorative, endodontic and surgical treatments and semi-permanent splinting. Using a 3- or 5-point Likert scale, students rated each treatment episode, the learning outcome and the impact of the model on training using a questionnaire. Chi-square test served for statistical analysis.

Results: The majority (63.6%) stated that the interdisciplinary model allowed a better learning effect than the approach dealing with each section separately (p < 0.05). Almost all students rated the diagnostic process as excellent (88.0%-95.5%), as the general history, dental history and radiographs were consistent with the clinical findings. Periodontal therapy was rated significantly lower compared to all other areas (p < 0.05). For endodontic treatment, the students disagreed, abstaining from practising on extracted human teeth. However, the students felt confident to perform all treatment steps in the following clinical courses.

Conclusion: Customised, interdisciplinary 3D-printed teaching models covering complex treatment strategies were best suited to enhance dental students' skills and foster their enthusiasm for the integrated diagnosis and treatment planning process. Their implementation into dental education is strongly recommended to improve both training and future patient care.

评估3d打印模型作为完整的案例场景在本科牙科教育-诊断,治疗计划和临床实践。
简介:3d打印牙齿/模型是牙科教育的重要辅助工具。然而,缺乏模拟病例来学习和理解复杂的治疗场景,包括记忆、诊断、治疗计划和治疗。材料和方法:三年级学生(n = 44)接受了一个需要紧急治疗的患者的完整3d打印模型(上颌和下颌)。根据提供的信息(i)一般病史,(ii)特殊牙齿病史,(iii) x光片,学生们做出诊断并计划治疗,他们在监督下独立完成。病例包括牙周、修复、牙髓、外科治疗和半永久性夹板。使用3分或5分的李克特量表,学生使用问卷对每个治疗事件、学习结果和模型对培训的影响进行评分。采用卡方检验进行统计分析。结果:大多数学生(63.6%)认为跨学科的教学模式比单独处理每个部分的教学模式有更好的学习效果。结论:个性化的跨学科3d打印教学模式涵盖了复杂的治疗策略,最适合提高牙科学生的技能,培养他们对综合诊断和治疗计划过程的热情。强烈建议在牙科教育中实施这些方法,以改善培训和未来的患者护理。

期刊介绍: The aim of the European Journal of Dental Education is to publish original topical and review articles of the highest quality in the field of Dental Education. The Journal seeks to disseminate widely the latest information on curriculum development teaching methodologies assessment techniques and quality assurance in the fields of dental undergraduate and postgraduate education and dental auxiliary personnel training. The scope includes the dental educational aspects of the basic medical sciences the behavioural sciences the interface with medical education information technology and distance learning and educational audit. Papers embodying the results of high-quality educational research of relevance to dentistry are particularly encouraged as are evidence-based reports of novel and established educational programmes and their outcomes.
