“…VR has allowed an advance in the teachinglearning process, improving the population's quality of life (2,6,7). In recent decades, there has been a huge advance in technology aimed at VR (24) creating new immersive educational experiences, such as human anatomy (25) training in oral surgery (26,27) and even entertaining children during dental treatment (28).…”

“…Advances in technology influence different areas of society (2) and can be applied in different areas, such as health care (3). Standing out in health focused technologies, virtual reality (VR) immerses users in a three-dimensional, interactive, computer-generated environment that simulates the characteristics of the real world, spaces and imaginary objects (3)(4)(5)(6)(7). It originated in the 20th century with great advances in the 1980s (3).…”

Currently, oral health issues are increasingly been addressed and virtual reality (VR) is being used as an aid in health areas. However, there is little evidence of VR being used in preventing oral health problems. To evaluate the effectiveness of VR in oral hygiene education. Three hundred pupils, aged between 9 and 12 years, received instructions in oral hygiene by immersion VR and they gave their opinions about the performed activities. Chi-square and Fisher's exact tests were applied, with a significance level of 5%. Part perception of oral hygiene showed no statistically significant difference (P>0.550). There was an increase in the use of dental floss (P<0.001), tongue brushing (P<0.001), and tooth brushing (P<0.001). Both drawings and comments made by participants related to oral hygiene were positive regarding the project. Conclusions: The use of VR in oral hygiene instruction was effective. Most participants increased brushing and flossing frequency and produced drawings related to oral hygiene. VR is effective and should be used in dentistry for teaching and prevention , especially with children, as it presents an interactive instructional space that can be approached in a playful way. This study presents dentists with a promising alternative for changing oral hygiene habits.

ZUSAMMENFASSUNGDie virtuelle Realität (VR) hat in den letzten Jahren immer mehr Einzug in die Welt der Medizin gehalten. Projekte für den Fachbereich der Nephrologie sind noch rar. Wir stellen in diesem Beitrag unsere 3 Programme vor: Erstens haben wir ein VR-Trainingsprogramm für das Erlernen der Peritonealdialyse konzipiert und an Probanden getestet. Hiermit können Patienten alle dafür notwendigen Schritte virtuell erlernen. Die Vorbereitung am Simulator stellt den Schritt vor dem eigentlichen Training mit einer Fachkraft dar. Zweitens haben wir ein VR-Trainingsprogramm für den Aufbau eines Hämodialysegerätes erstellt, die hauptsächlich für das Dialysefachpersonal interessant sein wird. Drittens entwickeln wir derzeit ein Aufklärungsvideo über die unterschiedlichen Nierenersatztherapien, in dem eingestreute VR-Anteile die Methoden dem Nutzer reell nahebringen sollen. In einer virtuellen Kulisse eingebettet geht man durch den Vorgang der Hämodialyse, der Peritonealdialyse und der Nierentransplantation durch.

Virtual reality (VR) allows its application in different fields, such as healthcare. In dentistry, this technology has enormous potential, in the educational and clinical scope. Its applications are of increasing interest and importance in dentistry, especially in teaching, as it offers interactivity and high effectiveness in learning. In the treatment of phobia to dental treatments, this technology is also promising, since it shows satisfactory results and in the surgical area it has a high potential for complex treatments, allowing predictable and safe results. However, future studies should focus on establishing technological standards with high data quality and on the development of approved applications for the clinical routine. Thus, the objective of this literature review was to provide clarification on the knowledge and scientific development of VR in dentistry.
