Student Perceptions of 360o (3D) Imaged-Models Used for Fixed Prosthodontics Simulation Education: Enhancing Visualisation, Understanding and Self-Assessment.

Key Points

• The research aims to evaluate how 3D imaged models influence student learning outcomes in fixed prosthodontics education.
• Investigated student perceptions of 3D imaged models versus physical models
• Assessed visualisation, understanding, and self-assessment capabilities
• Recommended adaptations to teaching tools based on student feedback
• Students reported improved visualization and understanding with 3D models
• Physical models still favored by hands-on learners
• Findings suggest potential for enhanced learning outcomes in diverse educational contexts
