“…Another work in endodontics is described by Marras and colleagues [4] and looks to simulate access cavity with rotating instruments. Also on the access cavity procedure, Suebnukarn and colleagues [7] use two haptic devices in one simulator: one to manipulate the rotating tool and another for the odontological mirror, allowing for indirect visualisation of the tooth. This work features results to tests performed with odontology students, demonstrating an increase in the accuracy of their treatment after using the simulator.…”

The usage of haptic simulators in Odontology has been growing in recent years. With them, users can employ rotational instruments attached to force-feedback devices to achieve various manoeuvres atop a simulated tooth. There is, however, one speciality within Odontology, called Endodontics, for which no simulator exists. Endodontics is responsible for treating diseases affecting the roots of the teeth. This procedure demands of the surgeon fine motor skills and an accurate sense of touch. Aiming at improving these professionals' training, this work has developed and analysed the application of a haptic simulator designed for the practice of the RCP routine with manual files. As reported by tests carried out with specialists, the simulator is sufficiently realistic to mimic such a task.

“…With respect to the utilised devices, the Phantom haptic device, with 6 DOF for tracking and 3 DOF for force feedback, was found to be the prevailing choice to control rotating instruments for coronary opening [2] [3], to simulate both the usage of the odontological mirror [4] and periodontical procedures [5] [6] . In the specific area of endodontics, only work on file deformation and tooth pulp behaviour analysis was found.…”

This paper describes a virtual reality simulator for training endodontics operations using manual files. The simulator consists of a custom 4DOF haptic device for tracking and force feedback. The built device can simulate the kinematic behaviour of the files during endodontic surgery. During the simulation, the movements the user does with the manual files are tracked and at the end are displayed by a custom-made visualization tool. This tool shows the forces applied during the procedures, the direction and the amplitude of the movements and the final result of the tooth preparation. Preliminary tests showed that the level of realism of the simulator is satisfactory and the visualization tool allows for obtaining relevant data for a qualitative analysis of the procedures performed on the tooth.

“…Over the past decade, a variety of computer-based simulation systems have been developed as a way to address these limitations and dental schools have begun to incorporate simulators into their curricula. Among the various types of simulators, Virtual Reality (VR) simulators are becoming popular as they have the ability to record kinematic data on how a user performs each step of a task, with numerous dental VR systems developed academically and commercially [2,3,5,6,7,8,10,11,14,15,16,17]. However, the full promise of such systems has yet to be realized due to the lack of sufficient support for formative feedback.…”

Numerous VR simulators have been developed as a means of addressing limitations of the traditional apprenticeship approach to dental surgical skill training. Most existing simulators support intra-and extra-coronal procedures such as carries removal. In this paper we address the problem of automated outcome assessment for endodontic surgery. Outcome assessment is an essential component of any system that provides formative feedback, which requires assessing the outcome, relating it to the procedure, and communicating in a language natural to dental students. This paper takes a first step toward automated generation of such comprehensive feedback. Our system automatically computes reference templates based on tooth anatomy, which provides flexibility to adjust parameters such as tolerance and to create new templates on demand. Detailed scores are transformed into the standard scoring language used by dental schools. Preliminary evaluation of our system on fifteen outcome samples with three expert endodontists shows a high degree of agreement with expert scores.
