Background: As a dental simulator, the Simodont Dental Trainer (SDT) is widely used in preclinical dental training in many dental schools. This study aimed to compare and evaluate the effectiveness of SDT training versus the traditional operation training based on head-simulator (HS) in enhancing undergraduate students’ dental operative skills. Furthermore, the study intends to investigate the optimal sequence for integrating SDT training with the traditional training curriculum in order to optimize the overall course design..
Methods: Eighty-two undergraduate dental students were recruited and randomized into two groups. Group A initially practiced on the SDT and group B practiced on the KaVo head-simulator (HS) first. Subsequently, both groups practiced again on the HS system. The two groups then exchanged training systems for practice, and underwent test on the HS system. A questionnaire was administered to all the students when the training sequences were completed.
Results: Both the short-term teaching effectiveness of virtual training and the impact of training sequence on students’ long-term performance varied depending on the specific dental operation. Students encountered varying levels of technical difficulty across the two training systems, even when practicing the same procedure. Virtual training is generally acknowledged by students, yet more than half of them perceived real-world head-simulator-based practice more beneficial for improving operational proficiency.
Conclusion: The SDT serves as a useful supplement to traditional preclinical dental training, providing students with a platform to refine their technical skills efficiently. However, obvious difference in the sensory experiences is notable between the virtual reality and real-world training systems. SDT may be particularly beneficial for procedures requiring distinct tactile feedback. The widespread acceptance of virtual training by undergraduate dental students highlights virtual reality’s promise in dental education, though systematic integration and training curriculum design still require continuous exploration and refinement.
