3D‐printed coloured tooth model for inlay preparation in pre‐clinical dental education

Accurate inlay preparation is extremely important in pre-clinical training. However, there is a lack of tools to guide students to efficiently practise inlay preparation. Therefore, a 3D-printed coloured tooth model for inlay preparation was designed to guide beginners to practise inlay preparation by themselves according to different colour prompts. This study aimed to evaluate the benefits of using a 3D-printed coloured tooth model in the pre-clinical training on inlay preparation.
