目的：假牙在临床前牙髓学训练中具有多种优势。本研究旨在从学生的角度，在连续三个学年（2011-2014）的临床前本科牙髓学课程中比较人工树脂牙和拔除的人牙。方法：在课程结束时，学生完成一份调查问卷，包括他们对假牙与天然牙的困难程度的看法，以及对假牙的感知优势进行排名。结果：参与者表示，除封闭外，所有手术在假牙上比在天然牙上更困难，这是由于树脂的硬度造成的。他们将公平性和可获得性列为最佳优势。结论：人工牙具有多种优点，但不能代替天然牙。通过人工牙制造材料的物理特性应该得到提高，以增加更广泛的使用和接受。
Purpose: Artificial teeth have several advantages in pre-clinical endodontics training. This study aimed to compare artificial resin teeth with extracted human teeth, from a student's perspective, during a pre-clinical undergraduate endodontic course for three consecutive academic years (2011-2014).Methods: At the end of the course, students completed a questionnaire that included questions about their perceptions of the difficulty of artificial teeth vs. natural teeth and ranked the perceived advantages of artificial teeth.Results: Participants expressed that all procedures, except obturation, were more difficult to perform on artificial teeth than on natural teeth, a result that was due to the hardness of the resin. They ranked the fairness and availability as the best advantages.Conclusion: Artificial teeth have multiple advantages but cannot replace natural teeth. The physical characteristics through the manufacturing material of artificial teeth should be enhanced to increase wider use and acceptance.
