Dental students highly prefer clinical simulation over traditional methods. Experiential learning tools in patient simulators offer an engaging and effective educational approach for dental training.

Area of Science:

  • Dental Education
  • Clinical Simulation
  • Medical Training

Background:

  • Growing interest in clinical simulation for dental education.
  • Increased availability of experiential learning tools mimicking real dental conditions.
  • Tools include patient simulators, standardized patients, and computer-based instruction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Review available clinical simulation equipment for dental procedures.
  • Assess undergraduate dental students' experiences with patient simulators versus traditional labs.
  • Compare case-based simulations in simulators with preclinical bench exercises.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current clinical simulation equipment.
  • Evaluation of 2nd, 3rd, and 4th-year dental students at The University of Melbourne.
