3d-printed models offer a realistic alternative for oral surgery training, enhancing skill acquisition compared to animal models.
Only three studies met inclusion criteria, suggesting limited but relevant evidence on the efficacy of 3d printing in surgical education.
Participants expressed a preference for 3d-printed models due to their anatomical accuracy and educational value in simulations.
Future research must address the limitations identified in step simulations to solidify the role of 3d printing in dental education.
