This study presents a low-cost, easy-to-make suturing model using readily available materials for preclinical dental training. This model allows students to practice essential surgical skills in a stress-free environment.

Area of Science:

Dental Education
Surgical Skills Training

Background:

Live-subject demonstrations have limitations for introducing minor oral surgery.
Teaching models enhance psychomotor skills development in a low-stress setting.
Suturing is a fundamental oral surgery skill, but commercial models are often costly.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe the construction of a simple and cost-effective suturing model.
To provide a practical training tool for preclinical dental students.

Main Methods:

The model utilizes an orange peel, putty impression material, and plaster of Paris.
Construction is straightforward and can be completed in approximately ten minutes.

Main Results:

A functional and inexpensive suturing model was successfully created.

Keywords:

Affordable Surgical skill Suturing technique Training model
