The role of dental anatomy models is mainly reflected in three aspects: oral medicine teaching, clinical skills training and health education. This model is made based on the real structure of human teeth and jawbones, and can clearly display details such as tooth crowns, tooth roots, pulp cavities, and periodontal tissues, helping learners fully understand the shape and function of teeth.
In teaching, dental anatomy models enable students to directly observe the morphological differences of various teeth, such as the characteristics of incisors, canines, premolars and molars, thereby mastering the arrangement rules of the dental arch and the occlusal relationship. For beginners in stomatology, models are helpful for remembering tooth numbers, positions and anatomical features, making up for the abstraction of book learning.
In clinical skills training, dental anatomy models can be used for the localization of dental caries, the demonstration of root canal routing, and the explanation of restoration preparation operations, allowing students to gradually establish clinical thinking and operational norms in a simulated environment. In addition, it is also an important tool for oral health education. Medical staff can visually explain the structure of teeth and care methods to patients through models, enhancing the public's awareness of oral health.
In conclusion, dental anatomy models are not only important teaching AIDS for learning dental anatomy, but also practical tools for clinical training and health education.
