Enhancing Psychomotor Skills and Educational Engagement in Endodontic Microsurgery Through Virtual Reality with Haptic Feedback: A Comparative Study.

Key Points

This research investigates how virtual reality can enhance psychomotor skills in endodontic microsurgery education.
Comparative analysis of VR training and traditional methods
Assessment of skill acquisition and confidence levels
Surveys to evaluate student preferences
VR training significantly improves psychomotor skills compared to traditional methods
Students report higher confidence after using VR simulations
Preference for VR suggests its effective integration into dental curricula

Abstract

The study demonstrates that VR is a viable tool for improving psychomotor skills, offering a high degree of realism and immersive learning. Students particularly valued the ability to safely practice procedures in a virtual setting, which supported both skill acquisition and confidence. The preference for VR-based training highlights its potential role in modern curricula as a complement to traditional preclinical methods. VR simulations integration into dental curricula represents a promising approach to augment traditional preclinical training.
