Summary
3D printing creates realistic dental trauma models for training. The dentaltraumaguide.org website significantly improved student management of traumatic dental injuries.
Area of Science:
- Dental medicine
- Biomedical engineering
- Medical education
Background:
- Dental traumatology training traditionally relies on limited resources.
- Realistic simulation models are crucial for effective hands-on learning.
- Digital tools can supplement traditional training methods.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the feasibility and cost-effectiveness of 3D-printed models for dental traumatology training.
- To assess the impact of the dentaltraumaguide.org website on student learning outcomes.
- To determine the perceived realism and utility of 3D-printed models in a training setting.
Main Methods:
- A 3D model of dental trauma was designed using CBCT data and fabricated via stereolithography.
- Undergraduate dental students participated in a hands-on training course using the 3D models.
- Students were divided into two groups: one with access to dentaltraumaguide.org, the other without.
- Knowledge and practical skills were assessed, and models were evaluated by participants.
Main Results:
- The 3D printing workflow was practical and cost-effective.
- The 3D-printed models were rated as highly realistic and useful for training.
- Students using dentaltraumaguide.org demonstrated significantly better management of traumatic dental injuries.
Conclusions:
- 3D printing technology provides innovative solutions for simulating complex dental treatments.
- The dentaltraumaguide.org online platform enhances students' ability to manage dental trauma effectively.
- Integrating 3D models and online resources improves dental trauma education.

6.1K
Asepsis is the practice of preventing or breaking the chain of infection. The nurse employs aseptic techniques to prevent the spread of microorganisms and reduce the risk of diseases. Hand hygiene is the cornerstone of aseptic techniques and is classified into medical and surgical asepsis. Medical asepsis includes hand hygiene and the use of gloves. Surgical asepsis, or the sterile technique, refers to practices that render and keep objects and areas free of microorganisms.

01:16Muscles of the Forearm that Move the Hand and Fingers
2.7K
The muscles of the forearm that move the wrist, hand, and digits are numerous and diverse. They can be classified into two groups based on their location and function — the anterior and posterior compartment muscles.
Anterior Compartment
The anterior compartment muscles originate from the humerus. They primarily function as flexors and are also known as flexor muscles. They typically insert on the carpals, metacarpals, and phalanges. The superficial layer includes the flexor carpi...

Following the work of Ernest Rutherford and his colleagues in the early twentieth century, the picture of atoms consisting of tiny dense nuclei surrounded by lighter and even tinier electrons continually moving about the nucleus was well established. This picture was called the planetary model since it pictured the atom as a miniature “solar system” with the electrons orbiting the nucleus like planets orbiting the sun. The simplest atom is hydrogen, consisting of a single proton as the...

The Stereotype Content Model (SCM) was first proposed by Susan Fiske and her colleagues (Fiske, Cuddy, Glick & Xu, 2002; see also Fiske, 2012 and Fiske, 2017). The SCM specifies that when someone encounters a new group, they will stereotype them based on two metrics: warmth—or that group’s perceived intent, and how likely they are to provide help or inflict harm—and competence—or their ability to carry out that objective. Depending on the warmth-competence...
