Description
Summary:Key Points Discusses distinct lack of robust empirical evidence to ascertain the relationship (if any) between stereopsis and dentistry. Stresses the need for further work utilising robust experimental methodologies to build an evidence base that allows for stronger conclusions. Stereopsis and its role in dental practice has been a topic of debate in recent editions of this Journal. These discussions are particularly timely as they come at a point when virtual reality simulators are becoming increasingly popular in the education of tomorrow's dentists. The aim of this article is to discuss the lack of robust empirical evidence to ascertain the relationship (if any) between stereopsis and dentistry and to build a case for the need for further research to build a strong evidence base on the topic.
