Application of head-simulator in the training of dental prosthodontics for residents

Abstract

Practice and theory are equally important in prosthodontics. Although the current training mode of residents in prosthodontics has made some achievements, there are still some challenges in the training. How to help residents master the essential elements of dental prosthodontics practice in a short term of training program, improve the quality of clinical training, and to provide more high-level prosthodontics doctors to the society are all important topics in the current dental prosthodontics traning. We designed a systematic head simulation teaching program to improve the clinical operating ability of residents in prosthodontics.
