Area of Science:

  • Dental education
  • Virtual reality in medicine
  • Skill acquisition

Background:

  • Haptic virtual reality (VR) offers objective kinematic data for skill assessment, surpassing conventional training.
  • This technology enables automatic recording of task performance, crucial for skill acquisition analysis.
  • Conventional training environments lack objective outcome and kinematic data recording.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess skill acquisition in endodontics using haptic VR.
  • To identify process and outcome variables for quantifying proficiency in dental procedures.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of haptic VR in endodontic skill development.

Main Methods:

  • Twenty novices practiced endodontic access opening tasks using a haptic VR system.

  • Process variables (speed, force, bimanual coordination) and outcome measures were recorded.
  • Performance was compared before and after VR training sessions.

    • Main Results:

    • Significant improvements were observed across all measured variables post-training.
    • Novices demonstrated faster task completion with improved outcomes within 2-3 sessions.
    • Unique force patterns and bimanual coordination emerged post-training, indicating refined skills.

    Conclusions:

    • Haptic VR training objectively enhances endodontic skill acquisition in novices.
    • Improved speed, consistency, bimanual dexterity, and force utilization were demonstrated.
    • The examined variables show potential as objective proficiency indicators in haptic VR training.
