“…Group II consisted of students who entered the Dental School in 2012. Both groups of students participated in a 4‐ to 6‐month manual dexterity training during the first year using the MOOG Simodont dental trainer ® , and the training was completed with a test. Group I was required to follow a scheduled training programme and take the manual dexterity test at a fixed date and time decided on by the school.…”

This article investigates whether giving students control over preparing for and the moment of taking a test affects their test results in comparison with when the school is in control of the amount of training followed by a predetermined test moment. The students participated in training for manual dexterity. After the training, the students performed a test. The results of the test were stored in a database. Students from the group with freedom to select the moment of the test performed much better than those in the other group who did not have the freedom to select the moment for the test, with significantly fewer students requiring three attempts to pass the test. The fact that students when given the responsibility to develop manual skills performed better than when guided by the policy of the school is hopeful in the sense that students can learn in an early stage of their study to take responsibility for learning.

“…In addition to the conventional physical tooth models traditionally used in dental education, several applications based on virtual tooth models have been proposed for dental training courses [94][95][96][97]. In contrast to these commercial systems, Kato and colleagues [98] recently reported that freely accessible 3D models of teeth embedded into portable document format (PDF) files would constitute a valuable tool for dental students as well.…”

BackgroundProviding comprehensive knowledge of the anatomy of human teeth is one of the basic functions of dental education, because a thorough understanding of their internal structure is one of the prerequisites for any successful clinical intervention. Several techniques have traditionally been employed to study and visualize the complex internal organization of human teeth. In contrast to these invasive techniques, modern imaging systems permit non-invasive analyses of the three-dimensional structure of human teeth. Owing to the relative ease of acquisition, handling, and distribution of the respective data, digital imaging techniques will also significantly influence dental education. HighlightIn this article, a broad overview of traditional and modern techniques for the visualization of internal tooth structures is provided. Emphasis is placed on micro-computed tomography systems and their application in endodontics. In addition, 3 the results derived from a comparison of histology and micro-computed tomography are presented. Apart from its utility in basic research, digital data can also be employed to create interactive three-dimensional models that are particularly suitable for teaching purposes. ConclusionNon-invasive, three-dimensional imaging techniques, in particular the various modalities of computed tomography, have ushered in a new era of endodontic studies.Owing to their digital nature, the results derived from these techniques can not only be easily analyzed and distributed but also be rapidly integrated into the teaching materials. Recent studies as well as the data shown in the present contribution suggest that digital educational materials lead to an improved understanding of the complex anatomy of human teeth.

“…These days, dental curricula are often developed in response to an urgent problem. For example, current dental training is facing a major issue regarding the growing scarcity of human extracted teeth and suitable patients with the right dental needs for students’ education . Therefore, on such condition that dental training is dependent on the availability of specific extracted teeth and patients with specific procedures, this scarcity may prevent students from acquiring the necessary skills and competencies within the limited time for training to develop into confident qualified practitioners.…”

The creation of virtual teeth with and without tooth pathology for a virtual learning environment in dental education

Abstract: The creation and use of virtual teeth in dental education appears to be feasible but is still in development; it offers many opportunities for the creation of teeth with various pathologies, although an evaluation of its use in dental education is still required.
