STUDY OF 3D PRINTING MODEL IN DENTAL HEALTH EDUCATION PRECLINIC PRACTICES: NARRATIVE REVIEW

Preclinical learning is a basic exercise to develop skills, based on real cases in the laboratory before taking direct action patients. However, many students feel stressed, lack confidence, and are not ready perform dental treatment for patients first time. It necessary study media that more realistic, innovative by utilizing technology bring closer situation of preclinical. The purpose this was identify scope use benefits 3D printing preclinical health education or dentistry. research method narrative review using keywords printing, AND Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, Pubmed search engines. results found 14 articles met criteria. models have been used endodontic practice, oral surgery, cavity preparation, management trauma, tooth morphology, assessment developmental instruments, combined with Virtual Reality. it can improve practical outcomes, relevant increases self-confidence, reduces stress better prepared care In conclusion, practice includes complex simulations development evaluation instruments other technologies. useful improving realistic as practicing medium, increasing reducing stress, students' readiness
