“…In addition, 3D glasses change the image quality to a certain extent, reducing the resolution of the image. The display of oral tissue needs to be precise since the dental operation needs to identify subtle differences between different kinds of tissues, so a lower resolution may result in inaccuracy in the operation [59]. Image display can also affect the VR immersiveness, so it is necessary for researchers to find a higher resolution of 3D display to replace 3D glasses.…”

“…To date, many pilot tests have been conducted to evaluate the validity of dental simulators in endodontics [3,83], periodontics [12,42,43,84,85], oral and maxillofacial surgery [65,[86][87][88], dental radiography [41], prosthodontics [37,59,85], implantology [89,90], and orthodontics [90]; the specific applications of dental simulators in dental education are summarized in Table 2. Many researchers are positive about the roles that dental simulators play in skills training.…”

The application of virtual reality has become increasingly extensive as this technology has developed. In dental education, virtual reality is mainly used to assist or replace traditional methods of teaching clinical skills in preclinical training for several subjects, such as endodontics, prosthodontics, periodontics, implantology, and dental surgery. The application of dental simulators in teaching can make up for the deficiency of traditional teaching methods and reduce the teaching burden, improving convenience for both teachers and students. However, because of the technology limitations of virtual reality and force feedback, dental simulators still have many hardware and software disadvantages that have prevented them from being an alternative to traditional dental simulators as a primary skill training method. In the future, when combined with big data, cloud computing, 5G, and deep learning technology, dental simulators will be able to give students individualized learning assistance, and their functions will be more diverse and suitable for preclinical training. The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of current dental simulators on related technologies, advantages and disadvantages, methods of evaluating effectiveness, and future directions for development.

“…Metal posts provide a high strength-to-weight ratio and a high retention rate. The disadvantages of these posts include compromised tooth profile (where prefabricated posts exceed available tooth structure), increased corrosive potential, poor aesthetics, and roots that are more prone to fracture due to metal posts' higher modulus of elasticity than dentin [9,12,14,15].…”

Aim: To assess stress, and strain dissemination characteristics in root canal treated maxillary central incisors restored with two distinct dowel and core materials. Methodology: Five three-dimensional simulations of the central incisor in the maxilla were created with ANSYS (Canonsburg, PA) version 10. MODEL 1 represented a normal morphologic simulation of the incisor. MODEL 2 depicted the incisor with a pre-fabricated fiber-reinforced dowel with a glass ionomer core. The incisor of MODEL 3 consisted of the same pre-fabricated fiber post and composite core. MODEL 4 and MODEL 5 had pre-fabricated light-transmitting posts with a glass ionomer and a composite core, respectively. Each of these simulations was loaded in horizontal, vertical, and oblique directions with a load of 10N, 100N, and 50N, respectively. The resulting Von Mises stress and strain were determined. Results: Maximum stresses and strains were focused at the apex of the glass fiber reinforced post and were minimal in the middle section of the post, whereas maximum stresses and strains were mainly concentrated in the coronal region and were minimal in the middle portion of light-transmitting post. Conclusion: Pre-fabricated optical-transmitting dowel and composite core enhanced dentin stress and strain dispersion throughout various loading parameters.

Technological progress leads to new advances in dental education. One of the applications involves the use of virtual and augmented reality as educational aids. The emerging question is to establish if and how these enhancements may prove beneficial to the overall student learning process. A review of recent literature was conducted with the aim of providing evidence for the development of relevant clinical guidelines. The proposed topic attempted to provide answers to the questions of (a) how participants perform when using haptic devices compared to traditional tooth preparation methods on typodonts, (b) how the use of simulators is perceived by both students and educators, and (c) what added value simulators may have in prosthetic dentistry training. The main findings of this study showed that participants expressed satisfaction with the educational experience, finding it both stimulating and very similar to the actual clinical environment. However, differences between haptic and conventional methods were also apparent. Haptics was a significant predictor of clinical crown performance. Significantly better results and shorter preparation times tended to increase with experience. In conclusion, self‐directed learning appears to be beneficial in the clinical education that follows data‐driven approach. At the pre‐laboratory level, simulators may act as an initial familiarization instrument. At the preclinical level, they may aid in detecting students who require extra assistance, or to provide extra training hours for students lacking adequate competency to enter the clinical training phase.
