Résumé
The teaching of orthognathic surgery is difficult because it is complex and emphasizes the combination of theory and practice. The traditional teaching method focuses on theoretical teaching, but due to the limitation of conditions, it is difficult for students to master the operation. In this paper, we apply the digital three-dimensional surgical simulation system combined with 3D printing in specialist training of orthognathic surgery. Digital software and 3D printing are applied in the theoretical teaching, surgical operation, summary and reflection to combine practical teaching with theoretical teaching, so as to stimulate the subjective initiative of the students. The results showed that the teaching evaluation of the experimental group [(3.89±0.84) points] was better than that of the control group [(2.91±1.21) points]. The application of digital three-dimensional surgical simulation system combined with 3D printing has achieved satisfactory results.
