Abstract

Abstract: Virtual simulation technology is becoming an important part of modern education. Because of the advantages of intuition, operability, security, and unlimited time and space, virtual simulation is regarded as an advanced auxiliary means of dental education nowadays. In the preclinical education, it helps dental students improve their fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination, endows them theoretical knowledge and skills under a safe environment. At present, there have been many studies demonstrating the effectiveness of virtual simulation technology in dental education. This paper focuses on and summarizes the research progress and advantages of virtual simulation technology in dental education, and provides useful information for future dental education direction.

Key words: virtual simulation, dentistry, education
