Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Medical Simulation
  • Virtual Reality

Background:

  • Exquisite hand skills are crucial for dental procedures.
  • Dental students have limited opportunities for hands-on patient treatment during clinical training.
  • Difficult cases, like impacted wisdom tooth extraction, require advanced surgical proficiency.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a virtual reality (VR) haptic simulation process for training dental students.
  • To enhance the fine motor skills required for tooth extraction, particularly for complex cases.
  • To provide a safe and effective training environment for practicing difficult dental procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Construction of a process simulation using a virtual reality haptic device.
  • Utilizing the simulation to train hand skills for tooth extraction.
