Simplified ABO-OGS orientation improves training of orthodontic bracket positioning for undergraduate dental students
Both the traditional and simplified ABO-OGS-oriented courses for bracket bonding yielded favorable results, with the simplified ABO-OGS approach being more engaging and innovative. The findings emphasize the critical role of hands-on practice in achieving optimal proficiency in bracket bonding techniques. A hybrid educational model that integrates digital 2D or 3D ABO-OGS-oriented training with offline practical sessions shows considerable potential for qualifying training and examination of orthodontic residency students.
