“…For example, intraoral scanner assembled digital models from patients were successfully imported into haptic 3D virtual reality simulator for the learning of teeth preparation before clinical managements [70,84]. Moreover, virtual 3D tooth creation form patients combined with haptic and force feedback technology were implemented in endodontic learning and training [94,95]. Recently, the haptic feedback technology was initiative in oral and maxillary surgery learning for lower impaction third molar extraction [96].…”

The haptic and force feedback technology has received an increasing attention in dental schools due to its effectiveness in psychomotor skill training. However, the bibliometric analysis on haptic and force feedback technology in dental education is still scarce. Therefore, the aim of this study was to perform a bibliometric analysis of the development of haptic and force feedback technology and its changing trends in dental education. From 1 January 2001 to 30 November 2022, all papers published on haptic and force feedback technology were searched from the Web of Science Core Collection database. These data were then entered into Apple Numbers for descriptive bibliometric analysis and visualized using VOSviewer software. A total of 85 articles were retrieved following the inclusive and exclusive criteria. The results demonstrated that USA and China exhibited the most publications. The combination of correspondence author and author co-citation analysis identified the more prominent authors in this research field. The top-cited and the average citation count per year ranking led to different views of popularity. A significant increase in the number of haptic and force feedback technology publications were found in the last two years. Virtual reality is the main keyword that indicates more new integrative applications currently underway. Taken together, this study provides a detailed bibliographic analysis of haptic and force feedback technology in dental education to indicate representative authors, literatures, keywords, and trends. These detailed data will help researchers, teachers, and dental students as a very useful information when trying to make haptic and force feedback technology more prevalent in dental education in the near further.

We aimed to evaluate the impact of Virtual Reality Dental Simulators (VRDS) on preclinical training in endodontics for undergraduate dental students. Purposive sampling technique was used to target undergraduate dental students at two dental schools: in Qatar and Turkey. After training on endodontic access cavity preparation on upper anterior teeth using acrylic teeth on dental mannequins and virtual reality haptic dental simulator, a questionnaire based on a combination of open- and closed-ended items was distributed to the participants. The sample included 60 dental undergraduate students. The participants reported positive experiences with VRDS and 76% considered it to be helpful in improving their fine motor skills. Endodontic access cavity preparation on VRDS was perceived to be similar to natural and acrylic teeth by 73.34% and 53% of participants, respectively. Overall, 85% of participants supported the use of VRDS training to supplement conventional training on dental mannequins but also recommended the need for improvements in VRDS training in endodontics. The findings of this study underscore the benefits of VRDS in endodontics. Future research involving larger samples from multiple institutions may help to optimize VRDS in undergraduate dental education.

“…One of the contemporary preclinical educational approaches, virtual reality, refers to a human-computer interface that provides three-dimensional visualization and control of applications by evoking a sensory experience similar to a real clinic setting [9]. The haptic virtual reality simulators (HVRS) facilitate students to perform applications realistically and interactively as many times as possible without the need for any material [10]. In order to increase realism, haptic devices which ensure tactile sensations to the users have been developed.…”

Objectives The transition period from theoretical education to the preclinical stage, which contains new educational models, poses challenges. Thus, this study aimed to assess the stress and anxiety levels of 3rd-year students in preclinical training along with their success rates under the background of Mozart's music using a haptic virtual reality simulator (HVRS). Materials and Methods Sixty 3rd-year dentistry students enrolled in preclinical endodontic training were selected based on the inclusion criteria. Participated students were randomly divided into two groups according to whether Mozart’s music was used as background music in the access cavity preparation of mandibular canine using HVRS. Stress and anxiety levels were evaluated with the Stress-VAS 1 and 2 scales and STAI S and T questionnaires, respectively. Manual dexterity was also measured based on the following parameters: target progress, accuracy, target volume, and outside volume. Data were analyzed with Fisher’s exact and Mann-Whitney U tests and the square of the Spearman linear coefficient. Results There was no statistically significant difference between genders regarding stress and anxiety levels (p > 0.05). Mozart’s music significantly reduced stress and anxiety levels and enhanced manual dexterity (p < 0.05). A significant negative association was observed between the target progress Stress-VAS 2 (p < 0.05), whereas correlation did not differ between accuracy and Stress-VAS 2 (p > 0.05). Conclusion The background Mozart's music positively affected stress and anxiety levels along with the manual dexterity of dentistry students in preclinical endodontic training using HVRS. Clinical Significance: Music therapy can be considered as a quality-improved element of preclinical endodontic training.
