T1  - Students’ perception of three-dimensionally printed teeth in endodontic training
JF  - European Journal of Dental Education
N2  - Introduction
In endodontic education, there is a need for thorough training prior to students embarking on clinical treatment. The aim of this study was to use three-dimensional printing technology to create a new model and to compare its suitability for training purposes with resin blocks and extracted teeth.
Materials and Methods
Multi-jet-modelling (MJM) produced the 3D model replicating a common difficulty in root-canal morphology. An evaluation study comprising 88 students was run in the sixth semester (summer 2018 and winter 2018/2019). A new questionnaire assessed students’ perception of training models and educational environment. Welch's t-test analysed significant differences.
Results
The most pronounced differences between models were noted when rating material hardness, radiopacity, root-canal configuration and suitability for practising. Students estimated their learning outcome as greater with 3D-printed teeth compared to resin blocks. Three-dimensionally printed teeth received significantly lower ratings with regard to enthusiasm, the learning of fine motor skills and spatial awareness, when compared to human teeth (p ≤ .001). However, 3D-printed teeth were appreciated for additional benefits, such as their cleanliness, availability and standardisation of training opportunities with complex root-canal configurations.
Conclusion
Students preferred extracted human teeth to 3D-printed teeth with respect to their physical characteristics and training experience. However, educational advantages may compensate for the shortcomings. The new questionnaire proved both adequate and accurate to assess the models and educational environment in endodontic training. The new 3D-printed teeth enhanced the learning opportunities.

T1  - Einfluss von Zahn- und Kieferfehlstellungen auf die Mundgesundheitsbezogene Lebensqualität von Kindern und Jugendlichen unter Berücksichtigung demographischer und psychologischer Einflussfaktoren
T1  - Impact of malocclusion on the oral health-related quality of life in children and adolescents with regard to demographic and psychological factors
N2  - Ziel der prospektiven, klinischen und multizentrischen Kohortenstudie war die Untersuchung des Einflusses demographischer (Alter, SÖS), psychologischer (KIDSCREEN-10, RSES, SDQ) und kieferorthopädischer Parameter auf die Mundgesundheitsbezogene Lebensqualität (COHIP-G19) von Kindern und Jugendlichen. Hierzu wurden 250 kieferorthopädische Patienten akquiriert. Die Ergebnisse zeigten signifikante Zusammenhänge zwischen der Mundgesundheitsbezogenen Lebensqualität und: (1) dem Alter, (2) der gesundheitsbezogenen Lebensqualität, (3) dem Selbstwertgefühl, (4) Verhaltensauffälligkeiten, (5) dem objektiven kieferorthopädischen Behandlungsbedarf, (6) spezifischen kieferorthopädischen Befunden.
N2  - The aim of the prospective, clinical and multicentre cohort study was to investigate the impact of demographic (age, SES), psychological (KIDSCREEN-10, RSES, SDQ) and orthodontic parameters on the oral health-related quality of life (COHIP-G19) in children and adolescents. 250 orthodontic patients were acquired. The results showed significant relations between the oral health-related quality of life and: (1) age, (2) overall health-related quality of life, (3) self-esteem, (4) behavioral problems, (5) objective orthodontic treatment need, (6) specific orthodontic findings.
