Effect of self‐learning media based on 360° virtual reality for learning periodontal instrument skills

Abstract

As the public's attention towards preventive health care has increased, the interest for dental care has also grown. 1 Manipulation of periodontal instruments, known as hand scaling, is the most basic skill of preventive dental care and means performances to remove dental deposits physically, and makes the tooth surface smooth and shiny. 2 Whilst a scaling by a skilled person can be helpful for dental and periodontal disease prevention, the opposite might occur the irreversible damage to the periodontium of patients. Therefore, it is

A meta‐analysis and systematic review of the effect of virtual reality technology on users' learning outcomes

“…By combining VR with artificial intelligence and big data, virtual classroom, virtual teaching, and virtual teacher can be constructed to guide learning in the classroom anytime and anywhere. VR provides 360° panoramic experiential classes, providing immersive educational experiences and simulating real interactive situations [60]. In addition to language learning, many people believe that in the field of education, VR can break through the limitations of resources and space and time and be used in practical courses, for example, driving and simulated surgery, and so forth, or expose students to virtual scenes of history, astronomy, and other disciplines to enhance their intellectual skills, motor skills, cognitive strategies, attitudes, and overall skills.…”

Virtual reality as a learning tool for improving infection control procedures

“…When comparing the scores of the VR group and the lecture group, there was no difference between the pre-test total scores (7 [5][6][7][8][9] vs 6 [5-7.5], P=.352). However, the VR group had significantly higher post-test total scores than the lecture group (12 [9.5-12] vs 9 [8][9][10][11][12], P=.024), Table 2, Fig 2A . In the category-based sub-analysis, the post-test scores of aprons and gloves tended to be higher in the VR group, but the differences were not significant (P=.076 and P=.052, respectively; Table 2).…”

“…Contrastly, previous reports have shown the effectiveness of VR in educating on practical skills such as surgical and endoscopic techniques and emergency room triage. 8,9,11 We believe the strength of VR is that it is suitable for acquiring practical skills as well as knowledge through scenario-based immersive experiences. 6,7 However, the limitations of VR are that it requires considerable time, effort, and high cost.…”

“…6,7 VR has also been used in medical education to learn various procedures, such as surgery, endoscopy, and handling situations in the emergency room. [8][9][10][11] However, there are limited reports on the use of VR for teaching infection control. [12][13][14][15] VR-based education was conducted to provide proper management and infection prevention for coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) patients.…”

Kollaborativ læring i social 360VR

“…Tre af de inkluderede studier gør brug af en ekspert, der demonstrerer en bestemt procedure, der er dermed ikke tale om interaktion. Disse studier overføre alle videomaterialet direkte til VR (Hekele et al, 2022;Tak et al, 2022;Ulrich et al, 2021). To af de inkluderede studier beskrev ikke hvordan det anvendte 360°materiale blev udarbejdet (Sultan et al, 2019;Yoganathan et al, 2018).…”
