Abstract

The methodology and style of teaching anatomy in the faculties of Health Sciences is evolving due to the changes being introduced as a result of the application of new technologies. This brings a more positive attitude in the students, enabling an active participation during the lessons. One of these new technologies is the creation of 3D models that reliably recreates the anatomical details of real bone pieces and allow access of anatomy students to bone pieces that are not damaged and possess easily identifiable anatomical details. In our work, we have presented previously created 3D models of skull and jaw to the students of anatomy in the Faculties of Health Sciences of the University of Salamanca, Spain. The faculties included were odontology, medicine, occupational therapy nursing, health sciences and physiotherapy. A survey was carried out to assess the usefulness of these 3D models in the practical study of anatomy. The total number of students included in the survey was 280.The analysis of the results presents a positive evaluation about the use of 3D models by the students studying anatomy in different Faculties of Health Sciences.
