Abstract
Standard oral and maxillofacial three-dimensional model was developed with patients’ medical data while virtual reality (VR)simulator was developed in conjunction with head mount display (HMD) and Haptic device. The objective of this study was to evaluatethe preclinical use of a VR training simulator in tooth preparation practice. Eighty-nine dental students were trained how to operatethe simulator. The participants were then given sufficient time on the simulator to practice dental preparation. The students experienceand opinion was then taken in through filling of questionnaires. On average content received 1.8 points, anatomy had 2.5 points, 2.6points for the applicability, and 2.0 for the usability. As for the detailed items scores, queries about the possible development of thesimulator and the interest of the learning process through the simulator were the highest at 3.1 and 3.0 points, respectively. Questionabout the benefit of the HMD and the haptic device during the practice had 1.5 and 1.6 points, respectively. The average total score was2.2 points. VR tooth preparation simulator in the field of clinical dental education has powerful potential in regard to realistic models,environments, vision, posture, and economical efficiency.
