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

This study suggests that 3D IMs can support students' visualisation, understanding and self-assessment of tooth preparations, while physical models remain valuable for hands-on learners. Adapting teaching tools to accommodate diverse learning preferences and expanding access across the curriculum may further enhance learning outcomes. Further research with larger cohorts and longitudinal follow-up is needed to confirm these preliminary findings and assess their long-term educational impact.
