Obtaining suitable extracted teeth for undergraduate dental training is becoming an increasingly challenging endeavor for dental schools. While commercial replica teeth tailored for endodontic training do exist, they present a challenge. On the hand, these replicas can offer a fairly realistic training environment; however, on the other hand, their exorbitant cost makes extensive practice prohibitively difficult.
Consequently, dental institutions around the globe have embarked on the journey of establishing streamlined processes for designing and fabricating their own replica teeth using 3D printing technology. Yet, the creation of a single 3D printable file for a replica tooth is an intricate and time-consuming undertaking. This fact has led to a considerable scarcity of diverse training teeth at most dental schools.
The original intent behind the creation of this website was to serve as a hub for collaboration, facilitating the exchange of 3D printing files among dental schools. By pooling resources and sharing design files, institutions aim to collectively overcome the hurdles posed by the scarcity and high costs of suitable training teeth. Through collaboration, dental schools can enhance the quality of the training they provide to their students, fostering an environment of shared expertise and advancement in the realm of dental education.
This website was established with the firm belief that the community of endodontic educators stands to gain immensely through collaborative knowledge sharing. The exchange of ideas and projects among us can collectively elevate the quality of the education we provide. By contributing and uploading your printable files, you do not only contribute to the growth of this community but also enhancethe overall learning experience.
Upon successfully uploading your files, you'll receive a password that grants you access to the download site. This access will enable you to benefit from the wealth of data contributed by other dental schools. This symbiotic exchange of resources helps us all to expand our horizons and refine our teaching methodologies.
To expedite the processing of your upload, we kindly request that you notify us with a brief message once your files are uploaded. Your proactive communication will assist us in ensuring a seamless integration of your contributions into the community's shared pool of resources. We extend our heartfelt gratitude for your collaboration and commitment to advancing the field of endodontic education.
At the LMU Munich dental school, the integration of 3D Printing started back in 2018, revolutionizing the replication of teeth specifically tailored for endodontic training purposes. As a result of these endeavors, we now possess a large varietyt of replica teeth in our collection. With great pleasure we would like to share these files with the endodontic community.
Our files stem from authentic human teeth. Subsequent digital modifications were performed to optimize them for seamless printing via a DLP (Digital Light Processing) printer. The intricacies of our workflow can be accessed for your perusal. We invite you to explore, utilize, and build upon the resources we have shared. Together, we forge the path toward enriched learning and innovative dental practices.
Once you have successfully uploaded your own files, you will promptly receive the password necessary to access the download site. This access will grant you the valuable opportunity to not only retrieve your uploaded files but also to benefit from the collective contributions generously shared by other members of the community. Your involvement and commitment to this collaborative exchange of resources contribute to the growth and enrichment of our shared knowledge base.
