Orthopedic dentistry is a field of clinical dentistry that requires significant resources when conducting training. To acquire the relevant competencies, it is necessary to master theoretical knowledge, as well as practical skills and the ability to apply them correctly in various clinical situations. In particular, in orthopedic dentistry, an important clinical skill is the preparation of teeth for orthopedic structures. Students should know the basic rules of dental preparation, as well as possess manual skills. To do this, students acquire clinical skills and learn to work with patients who apply for an appointment at a dental clinic. For this purpose, dental phantoms arc used in the learning process. These phantoms allow students to safely and effectively teach clinical skills in the framework of prcclinical training, which significantly improve the learning process, help develop motor skills, as well as psychologically prepare future specialists to work with patients.
