Popis: Acquiring psychomotor competences for manipulating oral soft tissues in preclinical dentistry settings quickly and affordably is a big challenge. The dental soft tissue models that are now in use are costly, synthetic, and do not accurately simulate sophisticated soft tissue manipulation. Certain materials contribute to trash and pollution because they are not non-biodegradable. These models also require a significant amount of storage space and incur transit costs, which complicate logistics. The cost of maintaining the latest digital haptic simulators is extremely expensive. To overcome these obstacles, the novel Orange Peel (OP) Model has been developed those aids in the development of psychomotor abilities in preclinical dentistry. The research addresses the histologic investigation of OP, which provides interesting information about its lamina propria and compares the look of the gums to that of orange peel. Using an OP model, it shows several surgical incisions and suturing procedures that may be practiced. It can accurately mimic the input derived from human tissues, allowing novice practitioners to comfortably evaluate the effectiveness of their efforts. The use of orange peel as a model can help in developing psychomotor skills for soft tissue manipulation before attempting them in clinical practice on patients.
