Authors/Creators

  • 1. Medical University – Plovdiv

Description

This article delves into the integration of 3D-printed models in dental education to bolster learning outcomes. 
Leveraging 3D printing technology, dental training programs can furnish students with lifelike anatomical models 
for immersive hands-on practice and simulation-based learning. The article scrutinizes the benefits and applications of 3D-printed models in dental education, underscoring their role in augmenting student proficiency, retention, and clinical readiness.
