Establishment of a simulation model for mandibular third molar extraction / 实用口腔医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To establish a model of mandibular impact third molar extraction with common dental materials for pre-clinical trai-ning.Methods:Based on the characteristics of the common dental materials,the anatomy and extraction skill of mandibular impact third molar,the dental model for mandibular impact third molar extraction was designed and made.Then,this dental model was placed in the head-simulation model as required,and used by the dentists and the students.The questionnaire was designed and used to evalu-ate the effects of the model.Results:A new method of designing and making a dental model for mandibular impact third molar extraction with the common dental materials was established successfully.The questionnaire results showed that all the dentists and students agreed that this model could simulate the mandibular third molar extraction procedure.Conclusion:Simulation model of the mandibular third molar extraction can help students for the following clinical practice.
