Background and Objectives: The ever more complex modern dental education requires permanent adaptation to expanding medical knowledge and new advancements in digital technologies as well as intensification of interdisciplinary collaboration. Our study presents a newly developed computerized method allowing virtual case simulation on modular digital dental models and 3D-printing of the obtained digital models; additionally, undergraduate dental students’ opinion on the advanced method is investigated in this paper. Materials and Methods: Based on the digitalization of didactic dental models, the proposed method generates modular digital dental models that can be easily converted into different types of partial edentulism scenarios, thus allowing the development of a digital library. Three-dimensionally printed simulated dental models can subsequently be manufactured based on the previously obtained digital models. The opinion of a group of undergraduate dental students (n = 205) on the proposed method was assessed via a questionnaire, administered as a Google form, sent via email. Results: The modular digital models allow students to perform repeated virtual simulations of any possible partial edentulism cases, to project 3D virtual treatment plans and to observe the subtle differences between diverse teeth preparations; the resulting 3D-printed models could be used in students’ practical training. The proposed method received positive feedback from the undergraduate students. Conclusions: The advanced method is adequate for dental students’ training, enabling the gradual design of modular digital dental models with partial edentulism, from simple to complex cases, and the hands-on training on corresponding 3D-printed dental models.

This paper presents a method for the digital transfer of the upper maxillary arch position using a facebow, a transfer table, and a reference block with a CAD application without requiring physical casts mounted with articulating gypsum. This technique facilitates the prosthetic digital workflow when the impression is made via intraoral scanning, to obtain the placement of the maxillary arch in the anatomical reference planes and in relation to the axes of rotation of the mandibular movements

Obtaining an extremely precise virtual model is decisive for the final success of prosthetic restorations on implants using CAD–CAM technology. Intraoral digital implant impression can be challenging under specific conditions (e.g., narrow spaces, lack of visibility, or subgingival margins) because sometimes the scan body does not reach an optimal supragingival level so that it can be scanned accurately. We propose an easy and quick solution, which uses an extraoral transfer device that requires minimum time and cost investment.
