Computer-assisted dental simulators like DentSim enhance dental education by improving cognitive motor skills. Managing simulation labs requires curriculum adjustments for optimal student learning and skill acquisition.

Area of Science:

Dental Education
Medical Simulation Technology
Computer-Assisted Learning

Background:

The use of computer-assisted dental simulators, such as DentSim, is increasing for skill acquisition.
Few studies address the efficient management of large-scale simulation labs with multiple units.
Dental students increasingly expect computer-assisted learning methods.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the current approach and optimization of a 40-unit DentSim laboratory at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center.
To assess student performance, learning, and acceptance of computer-assisted dental simulation.
To explore the integration challenges and requirements for DentSim in dental curricula.

Main Methods:

Evaluation based on theoretical and practical tests.

Student questionnaires utilizing a partial 5-point Likert scale.

Assessment of system-specific operation and information searching skills.

Main Results:

Most first-year dental students had prior computer-assisted learning experience and high expectations for its use.
A high percentage of students (87.3%) found the DentSim experience interesting.
Promising indirect knowledge retention was observed in areas like anatomy and cavity design.

Conclusions:

DentSim integration offers a promising avenue for enhancing dental education.
Successful implementation requires continuous reevaluation and optimization of curriculum and instructional goals.
Managing simulation labs presents challenges for both educators and students, necessitating adaptive strategies.
