Abstract

To better prepare students for the evolving demands of the dental technology industry, it was crucial to adopt a balanced approach that combined digital learning with hands-on training. This study advocated for educational reforms that bridged the gap between traditional training methods and modern digital practices. Enhanced international cooperation and the continuous updating of training programs were essential for advancing the quality of dental technician education, which in turn improved overall oral health outcomes.
