“…Although the importance of carving has been established in the process of psychomotor skill development of students but carving complete tooth or crown or root alone are varied schools of thought followed across the world. The results of the current study show complete tooth carving being the preferred practice, in accordance with the studies which have questioned the carving of root morphology alone (Rao, 2010;Mladenovic, 2020). It has been pointed out that the very purpose of root carving is questionable (Sivapathasundharam, 2008;Sivapathasundharam & Protyusha, 2021).…”

“…Contrastingly, our data reports that entire tooth carving (including the root) is being practised the worldwide over, which can be attributed to the fact that carving the entire tooth might help in understanding root outer dimensions which might be useful in extractions of teeth or in orthodontics while applying pressure for apposition or deposition of bone. Nevertheless, there is still a creative debate regarding practical usefulness of tooth carving exercises, where some are in favor with some suggestions on evolution in practices and some consider it totally obsolete (Rao, 2010;Patil et al, 2015;Lone et al, 2018;Mladenovic, 2020;Qutieshat et al, 2020). However, the outcome of the current project points towards certain similarities and dissimilarities across countries while imparting education of DM and DA.…”

“…Magne (2015) proposed an approach with emphasis on visual arts and the 2D-3D-4D concept. In 2020, Mladenovic presented augmented reality techniques for teaching dental morphology and for simulated environments in different clinical dental procedures (Mladenovic, 2020). Also, the current COVID-19 pandemic situation has provoked the need to adapt medical and dental training to a non-contact mode.…”

Dental morphology (DM) is the first introduction of dental graduates towards the identification of tooth; hence it is an important component of the dental curriculum. Traditionally, it is taught by manual carving of wax blocks, but the limitations of this method have been highlighted. There is a need to adopt innovative teaching methodologies to invigorate the concepts of dental anatomy (DA) and reduce the stress in teaching and learning with a proposal in standardization of training methodologies worldwide. Methods: A three-phased project was designed with an aim to collect global data related to teaching dental morphology within the dental curriculum. One dental professional actively involved in university teaching of DM subject was invited from 11 countries. The present study involved compilation of data from phase 1 questionnaire responses, followed by its discussion and analysis, and generation of preliminary report. Results: It is universally acknowledged that acquiring dental morphology knowledge by dentists is a prerequisite before they commence clinical practice. Our data points that no uniformity in DA course modules exists throughout the world and globally the subject requires curriculum redesigning. Conclusions: Consensus should be achieved amongst academicians in DM teaching and learning context. Innovative and standardized DM modules with component of computer-based and remote learning techniques should also be introduced.

“…Particularly, augmented laboratories allow for safe experiments, and virtual museums expand cultural experiences by providing opportunities to visit historical sites and study art (Lichty, 2020;Paramita et al, 2021;Saez-Lopez & Cozar-Gutierrez, 2020). According to Mladenovic (2020), in medicine, AR technologies are used to train future surgeons with surgical simulators and to visualise medical data, which facilitates the work with three-dimensional organ models. It is also important to note the interactivity that AR technologies add to learning (Atanasyan et al, 2020).…”

Modern digitization processess allow the use of augmented reality technology for pedagogical purposes. The practice of this tool, given its novelty, will require additional reasoning. The purpose was to study the future pedagogical landscape through the prism of the use of augmented reality. Methods: a mixed research design was used, attracting 50 teachers of different educational institutions who agreed to participate in the discussion. The sample provided a diversity according to various parameters: age, years of teaching experience, teaching of academic disciplines. The inclusion criteria: current teaching faculty with experience using digital and augmented reality technologies. Data collection was carried out during the first semester of the 2023-2024 academic year. The use of mixed research methods, analysis of collected data, and the identification of the main factors that influenced the successful implementation of these technologies into the educational process, made a unique contribution to this issue understanding. The results confirmed that the use of augmented reality technologies had numerous advantages in the educational process. They created an interactive environment, attracting students' attention and making learning interesting. The findings of the questionnaire of pedagogical staff testified to the widespread use of these technologies, with 40% of teachers who continuously used them, and 30% who used them 2-3 times a week. The obtained data analysis indicated the positive perception of augmented reality in the educational process and a high level of teacher satisfaction from their use. The positive feedback from educators regarding the effective integration of AR suggests a potential shift in teaching paradigms. This implication underscores the need for ongoing research to delve deeper into the long-term impact of AR on student learning. The exploration of the scalability of AR implementations across diverse educational settings and subjects for future studies, could provide valuable insights into its broader applicability.
