Tooth carving practice is required for novice learners in dentistry to understand dental morphology and acquire clinically underlying skills. Tooth carving practice is more effective when sequential models can be observed. The purpose of this study is to suggest a tooth carving practice model and to develop a mobile practice supporting tool based on tutorial providing 3D modeling information about steps of tooth carving. As a result, tooth carving practice model consists of the class activity including tooth information lecture and practice and mobile seamless learning connecting learners' practice and regular learning with the mobile tutorial tool. The mobile tutorial tool is implemented with tooth morphology dictionary, tooth carving practice/training tutorial, and 3D tooth modeling. The experts' evaluation on the developed contents shows that the content and function are valid(content validity: 5.0, interface validity: 4.53). Therefore, the mobile tutorial tool is suitable for supporting mobile seamless learning for tooth carving practice. Further researches are expected to be conducted to develop instructional models utilizing ICT and mobile contents in dentistry.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of mobile task information presentation using 3D multimedia on tooth carving knowledge, performance and class satisfaction for dentistry. To accomplish this purpose, we divided 66 dental students into the two groups: The experimental group was presented with mobile task information using 3D modeling. and the control group was presented task information using textbook. As a result for the study, First, Mobile task information presentation using 3D multimedia in class has significant effect on the tooth carving performance and class satisfaction. Second, tooth morphology knowledge in control group presenting task information using the text book showed relatively higher than in experimental group which presenting mobile task information using the 3D modeling. The conclusion of this study is that the class presenting mobile task information using 3D modeling can be enhances class satisfaction and, teaching and learning strategy to improve tooth carving performance.
