Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Dental Education
  • Surgical Simulation

Background:

  • Mandibular surgery presents anatomical challenges and requires significant surgeon experience.
  • Limited access within the mandibular arch complicates surgical procedures.
  • Developing surgical competency is crucial for comprehensive patient treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a static mandibular training model for practicing surgical techniques.
  • To enhance surgeon skills and confidence in performing complex mandibular procedures.
  • To expand treatment options available to patients through improved surgical proficiency.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing a static mandibular model for simulation-based surgical training.
  • Practicing a range of procedures including third molar extraction and implant alignment.
  • Focusing on techniques such as incision and drainage, biopsies, tori removal, and flap designs.

Main Results:

  • The model facilitates practice of multiple surgical procedures in various mandibular areas.
  • Surgeons gain confidence to undertake more complex procedures.
  • The training model serves as an effective tool for learning diverse surgical techniques.

Conclusions:

  • Static mandibular models are valuable for developing surgical skills and confidence.
  • Simulation training can lead to improved patient outcomes and expanded treatment possibilities.
  • This model supports comprehensive learning for essential oral and maxillofacial surgical procedures.
