Background:

Computer simulations and augmented reality are gaining traction in dentistry.
Virtual reality (VR) and haptic technology offer immersive preclinical training environments.
Assessing surgical simulation validity remains a challenge in dental education.

Purpose of the Study:

To present a novel VR simulation for endodontic microsurgery.
To detail the digital workflow and haptic VR scenario development.
To evaluate student self-assessment and reflection capabilities.

Main Methods:

3D models were optimized for VR simulation using stereolithography.
Virteasy Editor created graphical and haptic solids based on material properties.
Participants performed simulated osteotomy and root-resection tasks.

Main Results:

The study demonstrates the feasibility of providing reliable, clinically relevant qualitative feedback using VR simulation.
Objective and qualitative assessment criteria were derived from existing literature.

Conclusions:

VR simulation presents an innovative method for endodontic microsurgery training, mirroring clinical experience benefits.
The system allows users to save progress and review assessments for continuous learning.
