Dr. Robin Weltman (Dental) co-authored “Preclinical teaching of periodontal surgical concepts using common instructional models: A comparative assessment,” which published online ahead of print June 2 in the Journal of Dental Education. The study evaluated and compared the effectiveness of two preclinical instructional surgical models: typodents and pig jaws. The authors used test scores and student/faculty surveys as outcome measures, which showed preferences toward the pig jaw model for surgical management of the soft tissues.
