Three‐Dimensional tooth models for better teaching and treatment outcomes

Introduction The aim of this study was to fabricate 3‐Dimensional (3D) tooth models to overcome procedural errors that occur during treatment and to improve endodontic management of teeth with complex pulp morphology and dental anomalies. Materials and Methods Three natural teeth were used to fabric...

Description
Summary:Introduction The aim of this study was to fabricate 3‐Dimensional (3D) tooth models to overcome procedural errors that occur during treatment and to improve endodontic management of teeth with complex pulp morphology and dental anomalies. Materials and Methods Three natural teeth were used to fabricate resinous tooth models (n = 90) and 90 natural teeth were used during root canal treatment. Models were fabricated from 1 mandibular canine (n = 30) and 2 maxillary molars (n = 60). Natural teeth were 30 mandibular canines, 30 mandibular molars and 30 maxillary molars. Results Natural teeth and opaque resin models were significantly better than the clear resin models during access preparation (p = .003). In addition, the clear resin models were significantly better than the natural teeth and opaque resin models during shaping, obturation and as an educational tool (p
