Abstract

The diversification of pedagogical practices aimed at improving the teaching process. New methodologies, which favor the interests of students and to provide better understanding, can be important tools in the teaching and learning process. The aim of this study was to evaluate the perception of undergraduate dental students regarding the use of 3D-printed dental models as an additional resource for teaching dental sculpture at FACIPLAC. The sample consisted of 44 students enrolled in the fifth semester. A total of 44 sets were printed using four three-dimensional models: maxillary central incisor, canine, first premolar and first molar, printed in plastic, resistant and colorful material. The sets were delivered to students at the beginning of each class and used to demonstrate the anatomical structures, collected at the end of the class, for improved memorization of knowledge. A questionnaire was applied regarding the use of the 3D models at the end of the school semester, and 38 answers were obtained. The research results indicated that the use of 3D models was a valid resource for facilitating technical understanding of dental sculpture; improved the learning process when compared to the use of slideshows; identified areas of greater difficulty in learning; contributed to the memorization of concepts and geometric shapes of tooth structures. Although students approved the use of 3D models, they did not replace practical demonstration.
