Augmented reality (AR) teaching improved dental students' cavity preparation skills, though knowledge gains were similar to traditional methods. Students found AR a valuable tool, preferring computer-based applications.

Area of Science:

  • Dental Education
  • Medical Simulation
  • Augmented Reality Technology

Background:

  • Traditional dental education relies on conventional methods for teaching cavity preparation.
  • Evaluating novel technologies like augmented reality (AR) is crucial for enhancing dental curricula.
  • Student engagement and skill acquisition are key metrics in assessing educational interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the effectiveness of augmented reality (AR) in enhancing dental students' knowledge and skills in cavity preparation design.
  • To analyze student satisfaction with AR-based learning tools compared to traditional methods.
  • To evaluate the impact of AR on the quality of cavity preparation based on established standards.

Main Methods:

  • Forty-one dental students were allocated to either traditional teaching or AR-based learning groups.
Keywords:

  • Knowledge and skills were assessed using questionnaires, with satisfaction surveys for the AR group.
  • Statistical analysis included Mann-Whitney U-test, Wilcoxon test, and chi-square test (P<.05).

    • Main Results:

    • No significant differences in knowledge acquisition were found between the AR and traditional groups.
    • AR group showed significant improvements in specific skills: cavity depth/extent (Class I) and wall divergence (Class II).
    • 100% of AR users reported a favorable or very favorable experience, with a preference for computer-based AR.

    Conclusions:

    • Augmented reality techniques effectively support the acquisition of knowledge and skills in dental cavity preparation.
    • AR is recognized by students as a valuable and preferred tool for enhancing dental education.
    • Further integration of AR technology can optimize dental student training and clinical readiness.
