Abstract: Objective To evaluate the application of plastination technique in orbital anatomy teaching. Methods Totally 216 students in 2015 grade of five-year clinical medicine who received a orbital anatomy in ophthalmology course from September 2018 to October 2018 and 52 trainees who received standardized training from September 2016 to September 2018 were divided into experimental group and control group randomly. The experimental group adopted plastination specimen,and the control group adopted ordinary specimen. Two groups of students and trainees were assessed at the end of the course. A self-cognition questionnaire was used to investigate the evaluation of the course. Results The score of the students in the experimental group were (79.68±8.84),higher than those in the control group (62.28±12.64).The score of the trainees in the experimental group were (81.25±4.27), higher than those in the control group (71.50±7.07), and the differences were statistically significant(all P<0.01).The course evaluation of the students in the experimental group were (89.19±5.60), higher than those in the control group (71.48±5.60).The course evaluation of the trainees in the experimental group were (94.82±2.95), higher than those in the control group (80.13±5.80), and the differences were statistically significant(all P<0.01). Conclusions Compared with conventional specimens, plastination sheets can show the anatomy intuitively, which propel the development of orbital anatomy teaching.
