However, their effectiveness in teaching prosthodontic anatomy remains unexplored. This article investigates the potential of 3D pens in prosthodontic education by assessing students' understanding of the muscles of mastication. It compares their comprehension when tracing these muscles with a 3D pen versus drawing traditional two-dimensional (2D) diagrams and gathers feedback on this innovative teaching method.Methods: This prospective randomized controlled interventional study involved two groups: a case group and a control group. Both groups received instruction on the topic of \"muscles of mastication.\" However, the control group was tasked with creating diagrams of these muscles on paper, while the case group used 3D pens to trace the four primary muscles of mastication from their bony origin to the site of insertion on a 3D-printed skull. Pre- and post-tests were employed to gauge knowledge improvement, and the Mann-Whitney test was employed to compare pre- and post-intervention scores between the two groups.Results: The mean posttest score for the 3D pen teaching group was 8.65, significantly surpassing the score of 7.48 in the traditional teaching group.Conclusion: This study confirmed the effectiveness of 3D pens as a supplement to traditional teaching for learning anatomic structures like the muscles of mastication. The adoption of 3D pens and similar technologies in dental education can pave the way for more innovative and engaging teaching methods, potentially improving student engagement and retention of complex anatomical information.","PeriodicalId":50216,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Dental Education","volume":" ","pages":"e13965"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144509214","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Students struggle to relate the laboratory component to clinical work, because successful learning in removable prosthodontics involves many threshold concepts, some of which have been identified previously. No existing studies consider whether e-portfolios can help educators and learners identify threshold concepts.Methods: Students at a single dental school in Australia complied an e-portfolio detailing their learning experiences in a preclinical removable prosthodontics laboratory continuum in 2023. Their responses were analyzed using deductive qualitative analysis.Results: Two themes were identified (functional occlusion and functional records). Student responses associated each theme with transformative insights, knowledge integration, and bounded professional practice (three features of threshold concepts).Conclusion: Analysis of e-portfolios may be used to identify threshold concepts in dental education. Functional occlusion and records, two thematic constructs identified in our analysis, may be threshold concepts in removable prosthodontics.","PeriodicalId":50216,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Dental Education","volume":" ","pages":"e13943"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144486787","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One hundred and four undergraduates performed root canal preparation and obturation in plastic and 3D-printed teeth within 20 min each using a manikin system. Then, students completed questionnaires, and two independent teachers scored the obturated teeth using X-rays.Results: The plastic teeth scored higher than 3D-printed teeth in total and the filling density scores (p < 0.05). All students obturated the isthmus. In questionnaire surveys, during the preparation training, students found plastic teeth better in identifying pulp chamber morphology and root canal orifices (49.41%) and provided a better feeling of drill (56.47%). 54.12% of the students indicated that 3D-printed teeth provided a better feeling of the pathway and internal conditions of root canals when using K-files. During the obturation training, over 50% of students felt 3D-printed teeth had advantages in providing gutta-percha point grip senses, manipulation tactile sense, and procedural understanding. Over 98% of students agreed that using 3D-printed teeth with isthmus could enhance learning interest, anatomy understanding, operation skills, and confidence.Conclusions: 3D-printed teeth had evident advantages over traditional plastic teeth in root canal preparation and obturation training. Undergraduates adapted better to the root canal preparation and obturation practices using the 3D-printed teeth. With improved materials and methods, various root canal systems could possibly be printed for diverse purposes.","PeriodicalId":50216,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Dental Education","volume":" ","pages":"e13964"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144486786","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aims to assess the knowledge, awareness, and practices of GD among dental undergraduate students.Methods: Dental undergraduate students in their clinical academic years were recruited from Universiti Malaya (UM), Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. A 37-item validated, self-administered online questionnaire assessing the knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to GD was used. Descriptive and inferential analyses were conducted.Results: A total of 120 dental undergraduate students participated with a response rate of 77.4%. The knowledge mean score was 5.03 ± 2.58 (out of 11). Only 10.8% of participants had good knowledge on GD. Age was the only significant demographic predictor of knowledge and practice scores (p < 0.05). Higher knowledge scores were significantly associated with greater awareness (AOR = 1.77, 95% CI: 1.36-2.30, p < 0.05). Awareness of GD was significantly influenced by age (AOR = 9.99, 95% CI: 1.03-96.80, p < 0.05) and training (AOR = 4.81, 95% CI: 1.35-17.21, p < 0.05).Conclusion: Knowledge of GD among UM dental undergraduates was poor, with significant associations found between knowledge, awareness, and practice behaviors. These findings highlight the need to integrate GD into the dental curricula to enhance knowledge and promote sustainable practices.","PeriodicalId":50216,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Dental Education","volume":" ","pages":"e13959"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144477665","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
