Liu Liu; Yue Chen; Yubin Cao; Lei Yang; Yiyan Yang; Yantong Li; Dingming Huang; Ling Ye; Qinghua Zheng – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2025
Anatomy forms the foundation for the training and execution of routine surgical procedures. However, a gap persists in effectively bridging anatomical knowledge with the confident performance of procedures. Virtual simulation (VS) techniques, based on experiential and situated learning theory, hold promise in addressing this challenge.…

Grad, Piotr; Przeklasa-Bierowiec, Anna M.; Malinowski, Krzysztof P.; Witowski, Jan; Proniewska, Klaudia; Taton, Grzegorz – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2023
Tooth anatomy is fundamental knowledge used in everyday dental practice to reconstruct the occlusal surface during cavity fillings. The main objective of this project was to evaluate the suitability of two types of anatomical tooth reference models used to support reconstruction of the occlusal anatomy of the teeth: (1) a three-dimensional…

Sukotjo, Cortino; Schreiber, Stephanie; Li, Jingyao; Zhang, Menghan; Chia-Chun Yuan, Judy; Santoso, Markus – Education Sciences, 2021
(1) Introduction: New and innovative approaches to dental education have continued to improve with time. The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic forced dental education to change as social distancing implementations were enforced. Virtual reality was used as a resource before the COVID-19 pandemic, and it has become more essential due to…

Sabalic, Maja; Schoener, Jason D. – Technology, Knowledge and Learning, 2017
Virtual reality-based technologies have been used in dentistry for almost two decades. Dental simulators, planning software and CAD/CAM (computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing) systems have significantly developed over the years and changed both dental education and clinical practice. This study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitudes…
