College Applies 3D Tech to Clinical Teaching
Under the leadership of Professor Zhou Nuo, College of Stomatology has long been attaching great importance to educational reform, research the introduction of new technique method. Nov.12th, 2014 marked the first day that the college applied imaging technology of full high definition 3D to clinical teaching, yielding good results being well received by teachers students.
It is well known that dental education cannot be seperated from clinical observation demonstration. However, during every demonstration only a few students can see it clearly due to short dental operation distance, narrow view impediment of equipment appliance. Traditional two-dimentional image cannot vividly manifest the layers of intraoral tissues. On the contrary, 3D virtual imaging can fill the gap so as to make it easier for students to understevery step during the operation, thus increasing students’ comprehensive ability teachers’ teaching quality.
Innovation has been the longtime pursuit of College of Stomatology. In recent years, the teaching faculty of College of Stomatology led by vice president Zhou Nuo, have constantly innovated teaching model put forward a conception of “Seamless Connection”, innovative teaching model for undergraduates which means the integration of theory teaching, practical skill training. It was awarded the special award of provincial teaching achivement in 2012. In 2014, we applied for a provincial educational reform project named “Application of Web3D in Stomatological Education”. After six months’ research development, we have overcome a series of problems in regard to realtime transmission, full high definition 3D vedio synthesis, PPT making of 3D courseware intraoral 3D macro photography technique. We also built a vedio on demsystem which can broadcast online the on-going operations lectures to students in 3D classroom. This teaching practice with web3D technique takes the lead in the world. At present, the college plans to apply this 3D technique to dental teaching in an all around way compile 3D textbooks in stomatology so as to make positive contribution to deepening reform on undergraduate education.
