Comparative Study of <scp>3D</scp> ‐Printed and Banana Model for Suture and Biopsy Training in Dental Education: A Randomised Controlled Trial
The 3D-printed anatomical model was superior to the banana model in both non-technical aspects (e.g., satisfaction) and in technical aspects for suture practicing. This superiority could be attributed in particular to the improved mechanical properties and realism. For biopsies, both models were technically equally effective, suggesting that tissue fidelity may be less critical for this procedure.
