The research presented in Publication No 1 indicated widespread use of individualized 3D models in the students' pre\-clinical education, whereas the participants of the studies under review recommended the introduction of the 3D models in the hands\-on teaching courses. In Publication No 2, the 3D teeth models in the students’ opinion proved well capable of replicating adequately both the tissue hardness and the anatomical characteristics of the teeth, whereas the replication of the soft tissue characteristics was rated by far the weakest component. Replication of carious lesions and the pulp were also rated by most participants as adequately, or perfectly representative of their natural counterparts. When asked about overall usefulness of the 3D teeth models in teaching various procedures in restorative dentistry with endodontics, the highest rated components of the training proved the carious treatment, then rubber\-dam placement, and the preparation of endodontic access. On the other hand, the students indicated that the 3D teeth models were not particularly helpful in diagnosing caries. Out of all participants, 21 \(95.45%\) students recommended the introduction of the 3D teeth models into the teaching of conservative dentistry with endodontics at the pre\-clinical stage. In the open questions, they emphasized the value o"]
