Abstract
Purpose/objectives:Simulated educational models of teeth, bones, and gums have been used for a long time in procedural skills training in dentistry. The advent of three-dimensional (3D) printing technologies and additive manufac- turing has facilitated the production of more advanced 3D printed models that can be utilized for surgical and dental training together with other technologies (e.g., 3D scanners and image analysis software).
Methods: We conducted training on osteotomy in the maxilla and mandible using maxillofacial simulation software (MSS) and a 3D-printed model for 5th- year undergraduate dental students (13 students in 2017 and 11 students in 2018 with more than half of their results). We compared the group (13 students) who performed osteotomy after participating in the simulation lecture with those (11 students) who performed osteotomy after performing self-simulation (they were instructed to bring their personal computers and install the MSS) using tests and questionnaires (pre- and post-curriculum).
Results:The average test score was significantly higher in the group who per- formed osteotomy using the 3D-printed model after performing self-simulation;
participants in this group had acquired a better understanding of the surgical pro- cedure. Comparison using questionnaires showed a significant difference in the students’ understanding of instruments and surgical techniques between both groups.
Conclusion:The MSS and 3D printed models are widely used clinically. Incor- porating these in the curriculum will help accelerate student development. In addition, prompt education on the purpose and usefulness of these tools will not only facilitate simulation software and 3D-printed model-based treatment plan in the clinic but also promote further research.

1 INTRODUCTION
Students seek various knowledge to form the basis of their medical education and apply that knowledge in clinical practice. Moreover, they learn and acquire basic dental skills from educators. However, simulation- based education is equally important; for a long time, it enabled theoretical learning through the utilization of off-the-shelf models, and dentistry students acquired practical education through the treatment of patients.1 Usually, off-the-shelf models are used with epoxy resin for teeth and bones and polyurethane for gums. However, educators need to help students find the connections between the theoretical and practical aspects of edu- cation. Thus, several approaches have been designed and attempted worldwide to aid this connection.2–4 Crossover of information between the dental sphere and other health care disciplines in the development of simulations has been limited.1 Therefore, it is important to acquire various knowledge and technique through simulation.
In the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at our institution, patients with maxillofacial deformi- ties are treated by surgery after careful preoperative planning, including relevant orthodontic discussions. Pre- viously, paper surgery using two-dimensional cephalomet- ric measurements and model surgery was performed.5 However, more recently, dedicated computerized software- based digital simulations have been used,6–10which allows software-based analysis of the computed tomography (CT) data of the patient by simulation. Simulations using such CT data will help in treatment planning in orthodontics and orthognathic surgery.11 In addition, there is also a method of improving the simulation accuracy by merg- ing other three-dimensional (3D) images.12These images help in the fabrication of the bite splints required dur- ing surgery. This is achieved by combining the intrao- ral data of the patient captured using a 3D scanner.6,8,13 However, these techniques are still at the research stage and have not been used as proactively as is expected in the future. Therefore, dentists who are capable of using these techniques and devices need formal training on their application for future purposes. Certainly, the training in dental treatment is being conducted in trials using 3D- printed models, and training using these models is now being conducted in oral surgery. We hypothesized that the educational effect would be improved by effectively con-
ducting training using maxillofacial simulation software (MSS) and a 3D-printed model. This simulation-based research is reported in accordance with the guidelines of Cheng et al.14
2 MATERIALS AND METHODS 2.1 Participants
At our institution, undergraduate dentistry students in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery were pro- vided clinical practice education, including medical con- sultations with patients, observation of major and minor surgeries, including tooth extractions. This was followed by formative and comprehensive assessments by the edu- cators. The training program was conducted individually in various departments (operative dentistry and endodon- tics, periodontics, prosthodontics, orthodontics, pediatric dentistry, etc.) over 1 year. When students were free to choose during this period, we implemented a new curricu- lum, in addition to the formative assessment that was in use for students choosing oral surgery as their department.
The participants were 5th-year undergraduate students.
The validity of the curriculum content was evaluated by comparing it in two different curricula (in 2017 and 2018).
One had the simulation lecture curriculum (SLC) with 13 students participating in 2017. The other type had the self- simulation curriculum (SSC) in 2018, with 11 students par- ticipating. These curricula were the new trial. This study is a cross-section in design.
2.2 3D Printing
CT data from healthy individuals (a researcher’s per- sonal CT data) were used in these curricula. This CT data was provided by a researcher himself, and this has been approved by the Institutional Review Board of our institution. The MSS software Pro Plan CMF (Materi- alise, Leuven, Belgium) was used. The maxillofacial 3D- printed model was made by Objet 260 Connex (Strata- sys, Eden Prairie, MN, USA). The cortical bone part was composed of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene-like material (RGD835 VeroWhitePlus; Stratasys), and the bone mar- row part was a support material (SUP705B; Stratasys) (Figure1).

2.3 Evaluation method
To evaluate the educational effect of this method, a test with a maximum score of 20 was conducted before and after practical training. Students were questioned on sim- ilar problems in both curricula. The answers to the test questions were collected immediately to prevent discus- sions of answers among students. A 4-point assessment questionnaire before and after the curriculum and a sub- jective assessment were also administered. A t-test was performed on the average scores of the pre- and post- curriculum tests. The p-value was set at 0.01. The test questions consisted of 20 technical and anatomy questions (maximum score of 20 points), which were difficult to learn through the normal curriculum (Figure2).
We conducted the questionnaire to examine the stu- dents’ understanding. It was before training and imme- diately after training and was conducted for each cur- riculum. The questionnaire contained six items and was assessed on a 4-point scale (Figure3). The average score was calculated for each item in the questionnaire before
and after the training, and thet-test was performed. The p-value was set at 0.01. Prior to this study, the pilot test was conducted to examine the validity of the questionnaire.
For the statistical analyses, the IBM SPSS Statistics 19 (IBM SPSS, Turkey) program was used to assess the results.
We performed normality testing before the actual analysis and confirmed that it was normally distributed.
2.3.1 Simulation lecture curriculum
A total of 13 students participated (seven male and six female) in 2017. First, the educators conducted the lecture using Pro Plan CMF such that the students could view the simulation. The simulations involved Le Fort I osteotomy and bilateral sagittal split osteotomy. The lectures included the descriptions of the dissection and the operative pro- cedure followed by practical training on osteotomy that was conducted using the maxillofacial 3D-printed model, as well as the actual surgical instruments. This practical training was directly led by the expert surgeons from the

2.3.2 Self-simulation curriculum
A total of 11 students were involved (four male and seven female) in 2018. First, the students were instructed to
bring their personal computers (PCs) and install the Pro Plan CMF software. They were asked to glance through the simulations of the Le Fort I osteotomy and bilateral sagittal split osteotomy individually on their PCs after being instructed on the procedure for operating the soft- ware. Subsequently, practical training was conducted on osteotomy using the maxillofacial 3D printed model along

After the lecture, practical training on osteotomy was conducted using the maxillofacial three-dimensional-printed model and actual surgical instruments. The students are wearing white medical uniforms, and the educators are wearing blue medical uniforms.

with actual surgical instruments, as in the SLC (Figure4B and Table1).
2.4 Correspondence to students
Prior to the study, we explained in writing that these curriculums did not affect student grades. In addition, only students who gave their consent to participate were included. The curriculum also included dentists from the Department of Oral Surgery to support simulation and training. Students received knowledge and technical feed- back from the instructor after training.
3 RESULTS
In the SLC students, the average pre- and post-test scores were 14.9 and 15.3 points, respectively. In the SSC stu- dents, the average pre- and post-test scores were 15.5 and 17.8 points, respectively. Both the SLC and SSC students showed increased average scores after practical training.
Among the SSC students, there was a significant difference in the difference of average scores, thereby demonstrating that understanding was deepened as students individually went over the simulations (Figure6).
In the questionnaire, the SLC students showed a signif- icant difference in question-5 “I was able to understand how to use the surgical instruments in practical training”, and the SSC students showed a significant difference in question-3 “I was able to understand the surgical method in practical training.” Furthermore, all post-training ques-
tionnaires of the SSC had higher average scores than those of the SLC. These findings suggest that self-simulation, fol- lowed by practical osteotomy helped deepen the under- standing of the procedure (Table1). In addition, in the “free comment” section of the SSC questionnaire, students pro- vided responses, such as “I was able to sufficiently under- stand the 3D positional relationship, which could not be understood by simply observing the surgery,” “I was able to understand the anatomical positional relationship”, and
“I was able to gain a deep understanding of the surgical instruments.” We also observed increased interest among students, saying, “If there is a next time, I would like to tell others about it.”
4 DISCUSSION
The medical education scenario has undergone massive changes. Traditionally, lectures presented by the educa- tors were the primary source of knowledge for medical students, followed by learning the basic techniques before gradually engaging in the patient’s treatment. Currently, there are many treatments using 3D printing, 3D scanners, and image analysis software due to advances in medical care; however, the application of 3D printing, 3D scanners, and image analysis software for the purpose of medical education is rare since they are still in the development stages.1,15,16
In the context of education, evoking and retaining the focus/interests of students is crucial for educators. Cur- rently, students utilize smartphones and tablets for learn- ing. This indicates the need for educators to adjust with the use of PC and adopt novel methods to make lectures attrac- tive and respect the circumstances of the time. One sig- nificant source of education today is YouTube, as it offers web-based education that is simple and easy for students.
With YouTube, even educators can easily establish a vir- tual patient group.17–20However, there is no means to ver- ify the open-source transmission of videos, and it is diffi- cult to assess the students’ understanding of the content, which will eventually require evaluations by the educator through the observation of their practical skills. Further- more, this was not entirely different from the content of face-to-face lectures, except students and educators were not affected by time constraints. The study found that SLC, which was similar to watching YouTube, was less under- stood than SSC. This proved that even if the latest devices were used, students would not be able to improve their understanding without devising a lecture method.
Virtual reality (VR)-based education is also available.
Students are provided an almost real experience of medi- cal procedures through VR video viewing.4,21,22 This VR

device can efficiently attract the interest of students.
Furthermore, education is also imparted through simulation-based devices, which students can use to perform simulations using instruments similar to that used in the actual clinical practice while viewing the VR footage, which allows them to have almost real experi- ences of healthcare facilities.23 However, the challenge remains regarding the evaluation of students’ under- standing of VR-based educational content as that with YouTube-based learning. Despite this, the present study was able to supplement knowledge, such as the purpose of the instrument rather than the experience of surgery by using the actual instrument.
Education using state-of-the-art digital technologies is very useful for evoking the interest of students. How- ever, students of the current digital generation memo- rize such operations and are unable to cope with the events encountered practically. Such problems can be attributed to the lack of prior planning. Therefore, stu- dents should clearly understand the key aspects of oper- ative procedures before performing them and know the circumstances necessitating certain operative procedures.
Nevertheless, the best way to learn surgery is through prac- tical experience.24–27In the present study, we found that the interest in further knowledge increases as the knowl- edge of anatomy and surgery is acquired. We believe that this is a great advantage of face-to-face lectures. Although simulation software, YouTube, and VR are worth using, we thought it would be preferable to use them as a teaching aid.
To date, off-the-shelf models have been used in basic teaching techniques.1However, because these models are
ready-made, they are unsuitable for the simulation of dif- ficult operative conditions. Unfortunately, developing new off-the-shelf models that consider difficult medical situ- ations would involve significant investment costs and be extremely time-consuming.28 Therefore, with this train- ing, we planned a study based on the simulation software related to orthognathic surgery, which has recently been standardized.6–9,29 The self-fabrication of the maxillofa- cial model by a 3D printer possibly reduced its develop- ment time for it to be used for practical training. These could be customized freely for easy teaching. Until now, we have been educating students using 3D-printed mod- els; however, developmental skills and sound knowledge of human anatomy are necessary.26,20–33For this study, per- forming simulations using the MSS initially and then exe- cuting the planned surgical osteotomy procedure ensured that students improved their skill set and understanding of anatomy. Furthermore, they could deepen their under- standing of the details of surgery by recognizing the impor- tance of surgical planning, along with the materials and the techniques used.
From our experience, we emphasize that practical hands-on training and learning can improve the knowl- edge of students. The 3D-printed models could also make a great contribution as teaching materials. The educational effect could be improved by using both the written mate- rials and the 3D-printed models.15 However, combining the cadaveric materials and the 3D-printed models would reduce the educational effect.16 The 3D-printed models alone do not impose any disadvantages on students, but they allow them to grasp the knowledge of only the impor- tant parts. By clarifying the scope of teaching for the
YOSHIDA et al. 533
students using software like our curriculum, the effects of learning would be further improved.
This training curriculum was planned with an empha- sis on the following: (1) evoking the interest of students of the digital generation, (2) using a device that can be oper- ated intuitively like a video game, (3) simplifying the treat- ment planning process for the student’s understanding, and (4) executing operative procedures using instruments as in actual treatment conditions. The students understood the MSS quickly because it could be operated intuitively.
They acquired the technical skills through a one-hour lec- ture and could glance through the planning lecture eas- ily thereafter. We thought introducing a new software pro- gram to the students would hinder their learning; however, since most recent software applications are user-friendly, they were not burdensome to the educator. We believe that 3D printing, 3D scanners, and image analysis software cur- rently used in clinical practice are extremely useful for education; hence, their active use in education is recom- mended, which will not only facilitate simulation software and 3D-printed model-based treatment in the clinic but also promote further research.
