Virtual Reality Program of Dental Implant Surgery: Student Perception 

Part of Topic

Virtual Reality (VR) Program of Dental Implant Surgery: Student Perception

  • COVID-19 pandemic has changed dental education due to social distancing implementation.

  • Virtual reality (VR) can be used as a medium to allow students to be fully immersed in clinical environment.

OBJECTIVES
To investigate the Advanced Predoctoral Implant Program Student (APIP) student perception regarding the use of VR on Dental Implant Surgery.

METHODS

1) Students given instructions and demonstration

2) Pre-survey completed

3) VR program explored by student

4) Post- survey completed with additional 8 questions about VR program

5) Focus group discussion completed with all students

 

RESULTS

A. Figures

B. Focus Group Discussion

  • Supplemental learning aid 

  • Good for chair positioning

  • Accessible anywhere if headset and WiFi present

  • Able to learn sequence of procedures 

  • Haptic feedback beneficial and more can be added

  • Can be used to standardize pre-clinical station exams

  • Better suited for visualizing endodontic procedures 

  • Applicable for learning BLS, CPR, and emergency situations

CONCLUSION

Students have a positive outlook for using virtual reality as a resource in dental education. They are hopeful to use it in the future for particular topics and subjects such as endodontics, station exams, and emergency clinical situations.
