Description
Summary:Clinical dentistry is a complex activity which the procedure of most dental treatment are almost irreversible changes. Patient safety is a major challenge in clinical dental care. This is the reason why simulation-based learning and training is emphasized in dental education. In this article, the authors presented the clinical relevant haptic simulation learning and training in tooth preparation. The practical framework to set up the simulation environment from real patients in haptic 3D virtual reality dental training simulator Simodont® (Nissin Dental Products Inc., Nieuw-Vennep, Netherlands). Then, the trainee can repeatedly practice in Simodont® before performing the clinical procedure on real patient. Taken together, the implementation of this model in dental education may not only enhance trainees’ self-confidence and performance, but also facilitate patient safety during clinical dental care.
