q2 i? While e-models were well received, students expressed a preference for using them alongside physical models rather than digital tools alone. → Baxmann Martin 2024

Evidence¶

Baxmann Martin 2024¶

Baxmann Martin, Baráth Zoltán, Kárpáti Krisztina. (2024). Efficacy of typodont and simulation training in orthodontic education: a systematic review. BMC Medical Education. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12909-024-06425-8

q2 · i? · review · r3

The review attributes this to Ho et al. (2022), a mixed-methods study of 40 students using 3D digital dental models (e-models), which found higher acceptance of e-models, increased mouse-clicks in diagnostic tasks, and improved diagnostic performance.

"while e-models were well received, students expressed a preference for using them alongside physical models, suggesting that digital tools alone may not fully replace traditional learning methods"
