Abstract：Objective:To make a preliminary exploration of 3D printing technology applied in operative dentistry and endodontics teaching.Methods:Operative dentistry and endodontics is an important stomatology curriculum Students should gain understanding of the structure of normal human tooth in vitro as well as structural characteristics and changes in pathological conditions by studying many human pulp cavity and root canal specimens so that they can lay solid foundation for future studying of clinical courses and serving patients better.However,human tooth in vitro is practiced less and less due to the influence of the traditional concept.The quality of medical morphology teaching is also affected by the old medical teaching methods.We instructed the students to observe X-ray,CBCT and 3D printing entities,explaianed 3D printing entities with actual cases,and then demonstrated the operation proceduces.Results:In a short period of time,the students understood and mastered the treatment strategies and techniques.Conclusion:3D printing technique introduced into teaching of operative dentistry and endodontics improve the teaching quality and.the ability to solve practical problems.3D is an effective teaching method in operative dentistry and endodontics teaching clinical teaching;thus it is worth stomatology teachers using and population.
