From Images to Specimens: The Impact of Tactile, Three-Dimensional Learning in Dental Anatomy
Tactile interaction with real 3D anatomical specimens substantially enhances long-term recognition of dental and craniofacial anatomy. These findings support the continued integration of hands-on, three-dimensional learning alongside digital resources in dental anatomy education to promote durable anatomical understanding and clinical preparedness.
