Area of Science:

Dental Education
Medical Education
3D Anatomy Modeling

Background:

Traditional 3D anatomy models lack dynamic physiological representation and detailed oral structures crucial for dental education.
Effective dental and medical education requires a strong foundation in anatomy, pathology, and physiology.

Observation:

An interactive computer program, Jawnatomy, was developed using cognitive load theory and Keller's ARCS model for motivational design.
Blender and Unity 3D were utilized to create interactive 3D renderings of oral anatomy and tooth decay progression.

Findings:

Jawnatomy integrates oral anatomy, pathology, and microbiology to reduce cognitive load and enhance learning.
The program is designed for both project-based learning and self-directed study, allowing students to practice anatomy at their own pace.

Implications:

Jawnatomy is set to be implemented in dentistry and dental hygiene programs to support diverse learning styles.
Further evaluation through surveys and focus groups will refine Jawnatomy, aiming to establish it as a key teaching resource in dental education.
