“…While it is recognised that expert performance is faster than novice performance [10,11], the converse is not necessarily true, i.e. faster performance does not necessarily confer better quality surgery [54,55]. The same applies to simulator-generated metrics; for example, while experts tend to have smoother movements, having smoother movements does not necessarily mean the operator is an expert.…”

Background: Recent evidence indicates that a preoperative warm-up is a potentially useful tool in facilitating performance. But what factors drive such improvements and how should a warm-up be implemented? Methods:In order to address these issues, we adopted a two-pronged approach: (i) we conducted a systematic review of the literature to identify existing studies utilizing preoperative simulation techniques; (ii) we performed task analysis to identify the constituent parts of effective warm-ups. We identified five randomised control trials, four randomised crossover trials and four case series. The majority of these studies reviewed surgical performance following preoperative simulation relative to performance without simulation.Results: Four studies reported outcome measures in real patients and the remainder reported simulated outcome measures. All but one of the studies found that preoperative simulation improves operative outcomes-but this improvement was not found across all measured parameters. Whilst the reviewed studies had a number of methodological issues, the global data indicate that preoperative simulation has substantial potential to improve surgical performance. Analysis of the task characteristics of successful interventions indicated that the majority of these studies employed warm-ups that focused on the visual motor elements of surgery. However, there was no theoretical or empirical basis to inform the design of the intervention in any of these studies. Conclusions:There is an urgent need for a more rigorous approach to the development of Ôwarm-upÕ routines if the potential value of preoperative simulation is to be understood and realised. We propose that such interventions need to be grounded in theory and empirical evidence on human motor performance.

“…Outro estudo com alunos da School of Dentistry at the University of Leeds (Mirghani et al, 2016) foi realizado entre estudantes do primeiro, terceiro, quarto e quinto anos de graduação, utilizando-se o Simodont para avaliar a capacidade do simulador de diferenciar estudantes com variados níveis de experiência no mundo real. Utilizando dados fornecidos pelo sistema, o desempenho dos alunos foi analisado enquanto realizavam um procedimento simples no simulador.…”

ResumoO treinamento de procedimentos médicos invasivos na etapa pré-clínica é um grande desafio educacional. A abordagem tradicional, com animais e cadáveres, apresenta problemas éticos e práticos. Uma solução promissora é a utilização de realidade virtual (RV), que permite simulações realistas de baixo custo, repetibilidade e feedback em tempo real. Tal constatação motivou o desenvolvimento do ambiente VIDA Odonto, o qual utiliza tecnologias avançadas de RV, modelagem realista do paciente e interação imersiva tridimensional. O protótipo desenvolvido, do módulo do ambiente virtual desse sistema, foi testado e avaliado por profissionais com experiência na prática clínica e principiantes, demonstrando a viabilidade de se tornar um recurso educacional relevante em cursos de odontologia. Palavras-chave: realidade virtual, odontologia, treinamento, imersão, interação 3D. AbstractTraining invasive medical procedures at the pre-clinical development is a considerable educational challenge. The traditional approach, with animals and corpses, presents both ethical and practical issues. So, the use of virtual reality (VR), which enables low-cost realistic simulations, repeatability and real time feedback, is a promising solution. Such ascertainment motivated the development of the virtual environment VIDA Odonto, which resorts to VR technologies, realistic modeling of patient and tridimensional immersive interaction. The developed prototype of the virtual environment of such system was tested and evaluated by professionals with clinical experience and beginners, demonstrating its viability to be a relevant educational resource in dentistry courses.

“…The simulator integrates tactile sense in practice in a manner different from that by other VRS techniques 13,14) . Earlier research has indicated that Simodont® is useful for practicing dental treatments and can be used as equipment for training and acquiring research data 15) .Studies on using Simodont® for dental education have been published, but no research on the relationship between Simodont® and manual dexterity has yet been reported [16][17][18] . This study is the first to discuss this subject.…”

Background: Manual dexterity is important for dentists. However, few studies have investigated the relation between dental skills and manual dexterity. The hypothesis of the present study is that an association exists between manual dexterity and the accuracy of cavity preparation.Methods: Fifty-two dental students (25 males, 27 females) participated in this study. All subjects completed manual dexterity tasks (i.e., grip strength, pinch force, and number of taps made by fingers of the right hand) and a preparation accuracy test using Virtual Reality Systems (VRS, Simodont®). For the preparation test, the cross-block body in Simodont's Manual Dexterity section was used. The associations between erroneous preparations (i.e., errors in the lateral and vertical directions) and the results of manual dexterity tasks were then analyzed and examined. Result:The results revealed that grip strength and number of taps made by the fingers correlated with lateral direction errors. In particular, the number of taps in the first 10 s from the start of tapping made by the third finger, which the participants used as a finger rest during preparation, demonstrated a significant correlation with lateral direction errors. Conclusion:In this work, tapping was revealed to be associated with manual dexterity by quantifying the accuracy of preparation. In addition, the agility of the third finger used as a finger rest appeared to affect accuracy in the lateral direction. VRS is useful not only indeveloping teaching strategybut also in research on cavity preparation.
