ActiveRU2865053C1DiseaseEndodontic therapy
FIELD: dentistry.SUBSTANCE: intended for practicing manual endodontic treatment skills in students to improve the effectiveness of treating diseases of the periapical tissues of teeth. A phantom simulation model of a tooth with external root resorption is used, which includes a 3D-printed model of a tooth with a root canal having a hemispherical expansion at the root apex. In this case, the phantom simulation model of the tooth is made of transparent or radiopaque photopolymer resin, has a length of 30 mm with a red-colored canal system of 15 mm in length. In this case, the transparent model of the affected tooth is intended for the initial level of manual skill, and the opaque radiopaque model of the affected tooth is intended for the process of training in endodontic root canal treatment, where quality control of treatment and filling of root canals is possible only by radiographic method. In this case, the root apex has a size of No. 80 according to ISO, and the hemispherical expansion at the root apex of the tooth model, simulating a chronic lesion of the periapical tissues of the tooth, has a diameter of 8 mm. In this case, using Blue Sky Bio software, a three-dimensional image of the affected tooth is extracted from the patient's cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scan in DICOM format, then, using artificial intelligence algorithms in Blender software, the model is corrected, virtually modeling a tooth with a root cyst and external resorption. After this, the model is imported into STL format, 1.9 ml of resin is collected for subsequent slicing and 3D printing, and the walls of the root canal system of the resulting model are painted red with Funtodo photopolymer resin.EFFECT: inventions, by simulating endodontic treatment training conditions that are as close as possible to real conditions, namely, an apical plug in the area of the wide apex of a tooth root during inflammatory external resorption or after apical resection, allow for the practice of existing variations of endodontic treatment, and also minimize the time costs for model production.3 cl, 14 dwg, 1 ex
