“…For example, an app can already be used to view simulation videos during the performance of local anesthesia, 8 and to virtually examine various simulated oral cavities, X-ray images 9 or cavity/crown preparations can be practiced, and technical simulators will provide haptic feedback. 4,6,[10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] Especially essential in dentistry, the spatial threedimensional (3D) perception and understanding of objects can be best presented in a VR teaching environment. Currently, dental education is mainly taught using 2D image material.…”

Objectives: Digital technology is already playing an increasingly important role in the education of students. The present investigation examined the acceptance of preclinical students for learning dental morphologies in virtual reality (VR). Methods: The creation of the VR dental teaching environment was divided into 3 sections: (a) generation of the digital data; (b) creation of the VR dental learning environment for tooth morphologies; and (c) evaluation by preclinical students through questionnaires combined with visual analogue scale and fixed-answer options. Students of the Department of Prosthetic Dentistry of the University Hospital Munich were able to stay/interact in the VR dental learning environment for 10 minutes with VR headsets and hand controllers. The data were analyzed using the Kolmogorov−Smirnov test and exploratory data analysis using the median value and interquartile range. Results: Of the students, 34.9% stated that they understand dental morphologies much better, 57.1% better, and 7.9% equally well compared to using the traditional textbook. The students would be willing to spend about 500 euros privately for the VR equipment. The haptic and auditive teaching elements were evaluated more positively than the purely visual ones of the integrated information boards. Conclusions: Learning in the VR dental learning environment showed a high level of acceptance among all students and should be integrated as a fixed element in the dental curriculum. A further development for use independent of time and place is desirable.

“…Um recente estudo randomizado realizado com 88 estudantes do primeiro ano de graduação na França trouxe resultados semelhantes na comparação de desempenho nos grupos que treinaram em dentes de plástico e em mecanismos de realidade virtual. Em suas conclusões apontaram para as vantagens do uso da realidade virtual uma vez que traz economia de tempo de supervisão e ensino e reduz a necessidade de utilização de materiais plásticos 17 .…”

O estudo teve por objetivo avaliar a percepção de docentes de Odontologia em relação à utilização de dentes humanos extraídos e dentes artificiais em atividades pré-clínicas. Utilizou-se um questionário com perguntas objetivas e subjetivas aplicado aos professores cirurgiões-dentistas do Curso de Odontologia Centro Universitário de Anápolis - UniEVANGÉLICA. Dos 50 professores que correspondiam aos critérios de elegibilidade, obteve-se taxa de resposta de 76%. A média do tempo de formado dos docentes é de 20±9,7 anos e a média do tempo de docência de 17±10,5 anos. Quando questionados se dentes humanos deveriam ser utilizados como recursos educativos, a maioria (89,4%) respondeu que sim e em relação à aquisição de habilidades psicomotoras dos estudantes 68,4% acreditam que os dentes humanos são mais vantajosos. Citaram como desvantagem do uso aspectos relacionados à biossegurança (36,8%), dificuldade para obtenção dos dentes (21%), riscos de comercialização (15,7%) e aspectos éticos (15,7%). A maioria dos docentes de Odontologia do curso avaliado entendem que o uso de dentes humanos em atividades pré-clínicas tem maior potencial pedagógico, além de favorecer o desenvolvimento de habilidades motoras em comparação ao uso de dentes artificiais.

“…Using 3‐dimensional virtual models has shown to increase student's spatial visualization 19 and results in a more positive students’ perception of dental education 20 . Significant advancement in haptic and virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) space gave rise to AR/VR‐based simulation devices (examples: eHuman, Simodont, Dentsim, or Periosim) exclusively used as adjunct instruction tools during the pre‐clinical training period 21‐23 . Although they are in the early stages, when adequately enhanced and made portable, this technology has the potential to mimic patient encounters and aid in virtual continuity of clinical education and assessment during crises, when used in personal devices, such as tablets or phones.…”

Global disruptions caused by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) affects all walks of life, and dentistry and dental education are no exceptions. Dental education uniquely blends didactic courses and hands-on clinical training seamlessly to prepare oral healthcare providers of the future. Apart from economical and access to care implications, closure of all the dental institutions in the United States affects their educational mission greatly, equally disturbing pre-doctoral and graduate training. Efforts are ongoing to continue the educational mission in dental institutions by delivering scheduled course content remotely using multiple online tools. In spite of those efforts, since clinical experiences cannot be completely replaced by any available alternative method of instruction that is 1270
