Perspectives on the implementation of haptic virtual reality simulator into dental curriculum

Haptic and Force Feedback Technology in Dental Education: A Bibliometric Analysis

“…In 2015, the United Nations announced the Sustainable Development Goals, which have become a common task for all dental schools over the years. Therefore, the virtual digital 3D simulator has become a new favorite because of its ability to provide high quality education, reduce inequality, and decrease waste [87].…”

Virtual 3D tooth creation for personized haptic simulation training in access cavity preparation

“…Patient-centered oral care is required for precise hand manipulation skills to minimize the malpractices and errors for patient safety. 2 Haptic 3D virtual reality simulator Simodont® (Nissin Dental Products Inc., Nieuw-Vennep, Netherlands) is one of the useful devices for pre-clinical skills learning including cavity preparation, crown preparation, and access cavity preparation. 3 Recently, the authors have reported the successful conduction of Simodont® learning and training in tooth preparation for the achievement of personized dentistry.…”

“…The advantages of Simodont® can provide repeated practice without any waste disposal and additional instruments. 2 Simodont® has been reported to customize real patients in the virtual reality environment for tooth and inlay preparation. 4 , 7 However, little is known about the clinical relevant haptic simulation in access cavity preparation.…”
