Developing dental simulation tools improved preclinical implant attachment training for large student groups. This cost-effective method enhanced Locator housing pick-up exercises and received positive student feedback.

Area of Science:

  • Dental Education
  • Prosthodontics
  • Biomaterials

Background:

  • Preclinical dental implant attachment training is challenging for large student cohorts.
  • Consistent instruction for Locator housing pick-up exercises requires effective simulation tools.
  • Existing methods may not adequately support visualization and interference identification.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and implement institutionally produced training tools for Locator housing pick-up exercises.
  • To support preclinical instruction for second-year predoctoral dental students.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness and learner perceptions of the developed simulation model.

Main Methods:

  • Modified typodont-based simulation tools with clear dentures and gypsum models were integrated into the preclinical curriculum.

  • Inspection windows, flange evaluation, and disclosing materials were used to verify denture seating and identify interferences.
  • Autopolymerizing acrylic resin was used for housing incorporation, with components designed for reuse.

    • Main Results:

    • The simulation tools allowed visualization of seating conditions and identification of misalignment.
    • Student surveys indicated favorable perceptions (mean 4.5-4.9/5) of the exercise and its organization.
    • The model proved durable and cost-effective, with minimal replacement needs across academic cycles.

    Conclusions:

    • A structured simulation approach offers an effective alternative for delivering Locator housing pick-up training in high-volume preclinical settings.
    • The developed model facilitates repeated implementation and consistent training across academic cycles.
    • This method enhances the preclinical learning experience for dental implant procedures.
