Abstract

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a 3D printed training kit for the preparation of endodontic access cavities in calcified teeth.

METHODS

The root canal system of a micro-CT scanned premolar was digitally processed to create an endodontic training kit containing 10 teeth with ten different progressive degrees of pulp canal calcification. A tooth variant with a medium calcification degree (5/10) was printed in three copies using opaque resin. Additionally, a set of 10 transparent training teeth with red-colored pulp was produced using PolyJet 3D printing technology, which was used to train the access cavity preparation in a controlled manner due to the transparency of the teeth. Undergraduate students (n=27) and dentists (n=10) each prepared a total of 13 (one pre-training, two post-training) access cavities. Substance loss was quantified by CBCT, and user satisfaction was evaluated by questionnaire. Paired t-tests were used to compare the means for substance loss and procedure time for pre- and post-training conditions. Unpaired t-tests were used to compare differences between students and dentists. The level of significance was set at α=0.05.

RESULTS

Mean substance loss before and after training decreased for both students (71.4 versus 54.68 mm3; p=0.069) and dentists (67.3 versus 51.1 mm3; p=0.633), but the difference was not statistically significant. The average preparation time decreased with training for students (420 versus 275 seconds; p=0.100) and dentists (336 versus 158 seconds; p=0.054), but not significantly. Root perforation rates also decreased (students: 6/27 versus 4/27; dentists: 1/10 versus 0/10). Participants rated the training model as very realistic and useful, despite the difference in material texture.

CONCLUSION

The proposed 3D printed training kit appears to be a suitable tool for undergraduate dental students, which could expand their opportunities to practice the preparation of endodontic access cavities in calcified teeth. (EEJ-2024-06-091).

摘要

目的

本研究旨在评估一种3D打印训练套件在钙化牙开髓腔预备中的有效性。

方法

对微CT扫描的前磨牙根管系统进行数字化处理，制作一个包含10颗牙齿的牙髓训练套件，这些牙齿具有十种不同程度的渐进性牙髓腔钙化。使用不透明树脂打印三个中度钙化程度（5/10）的牙齿变体。此外，使用PolyJet 3D打印技术制作了一组10颗带有红色牙髓的透明训练牙齿，由于牙齿的透明度，可用于以可控方式训练开髓腔预备。本科生（n = 27）和牙医（n = 10）每人总共预备13个（训练前1个，训练后2个）开髓腔。通过CBCT对物质损失进行量化，并通过问卷评估用户满意度。配对t检验用于比较训练前和训练后物质损失和操作时间的均值。非配对t检验用于比较学生和牙医之间的差异。显著性水平设定为α = 0.05。

结果

学生（71.4对54.68立方毫米；p = 0.069）和牙医（67.3对51.1立方毫米；p = 0.633）训练前后的平均物质损失均有所下降，但差异无统计学意义。学生（420对275秒；p = 0.100）和牙医（336对158秒；p = 0.054）的平均预备时间随训练而减少，但不显著。根管穿孔率也有所下降（学生：6/27对4/27；牙医：1/10对0/10）。尽管材料质地存在差异，但参与者对训练模型的评价很高，认为其非常逼真且有用。
