(hereinafter referred to as the “University”, abbreviated as “DAUG”) is a subject with a 30-year history of the modern Georgian educational space, defending national and universal values, which is oriented to direct intellectual resources for the country’s integration into the European space and successful development. The establishment of the university is connected with the idea of restoring Georgia’s independence, the creation of the Society for the Social Protection of Those Who Left the Communist Party by its Rector, Professor Teimuraz Koridze in 1987, and the establishment of the Society “Support and Upliftment” on its basis, on July 11, 1991. The society aimed to free the country from communist ideas and worldviews, accelerate the transition from an administrative-command system to a free market economy, and involve youth in the pursuit of freedom and building an independent state. The “Support and Upliftment” society united the country’s distinguished scientists, who, under the leadership of Professor Teimuraz Koridze and with the blessing of His Holiness and Beatitude Ilia II, the Catholicos Patriarch of All Georgia, founded the first private higher education institution in Georgia, the “David Aghmashenebeli Tbilisi Engineering and Economic Institute”.

Handpiece is a preclinical dental simulator for iPad and Apple Pencil. PREPARATIONS Cut Class I and Class II amalgam, Class II composite, and full gold and all-ceramic crown preparations on 3D teeth with a virtual handpiece driven by Apple Pencil. Work on a bench segment, a full typodont or a phantom head with a mouth mirror and loupes. When you finish, the preparation is measured and graded criterion by criterion (outline form, pulpal and axial depth, wall convergence, marginal ridges, margins, adjacent tooth damage) against textbook targets, with the numbers behind every grade. RESTORATIONS Fill Class I and Class II amalgam and Class II composite preparations with a carrier, condenser, carver, matrix band and curing light, then see the restoration compared with the tooth's own anatomy. EXAM MODE Sit timed, board-style practicals in the phantom head, with no undo and results at the end. MIRROR PRACTICE Train indirect vision with a real dental mirror. Trace lines, shapes, numbers, letters and the occlusal outlines and grooves of real teeth, one tooth or a whole arch, then cut preparations with the iPad out of direct sight. TOOTH ANATOMY Study all 32 permanent and 20 primary teeth in 3D, with every landmark named and explained, cross-sections, and the pulp horns. Compare a primary tooth with its permanent look-alike or successor side by side at true size, and watch teeth erupt and shed from birth to 21 on the eruption timeline, and learn eruption ages block by block with the Block method. Practise with timed station practicals that ask about a structure, the eruption age or the pulp horns, guided identification that walks you through dentition, arch, class, type and side, landmark hunts, and a numbering drill for Universal, FDI, Palmer and Haderup notation. Each works on permanent, primary or mixed dentitions. BENCHMARKS See how your graded preparations compare with other students' anonymous attempts, practice and exam mode separately. No account and no personal data: everything works offline. HANDPIECE PRO Free: the Daily ID, ten teeth to identify each day, and the 3D viewer of the 32 permanent teeth. Handpiece Pro unlocks everything else, as a weekly or yearly subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase. The welcome tour lets you try a landmark question on a 3D molar and mirror drawing first. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and can be managed in your App Store account settings. Handpiece is a study aid for dental students. It does not replace supervised preclinical training.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SDASU at none against Handpiece's 3. SDASU also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.2) and iOS requirement (17.6 vs 26.0). Handpiece's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 3 months). On price, ratings volume, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
