Area of Science:

  • Biomaterials and Biomedical Engineering
  • Dental Education Technology

Background:

  • German dental schools are updating curricula with new teaching methods and interdisciplinary approaches.
  • There is a need for realistic simulation models to prepare dental students for clinical practice.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present an approach for fabricating individualized 3D-printed simulation models for dental hands-on courses.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness and student reception of these patient-specific models in an interdisciplinary context.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing 3D surface scanning data from real patients.
  • Processing data with 3D modeling software.
  • Fabricating models using the PolyJet 3D printing technique.

Main Results:

  • Three example models were created: prosthodontic, conservative, and interdisciplinary.
  • An interdisciplinary model was tested with 22 fourth-year dental students.
  • The simulation model concept received positive feedback, but implementation aspects faced criticism.

Conclusions:

  • 3D-printed, patient-specific simulation models offer a realistic and interdisciplinary approach to dental education.
  • Further refinement of the implementation process is needed based on student feedback to optimize their use in training.
