当前牙科教育的趋势之一是使用先进技术在全球平台上为牙科学生提供支持。触觉虚拟现实仿真（HVRS）是口腔手术学教学领域的一项较新技术。本研究旨在评估触觉虚拟现实模拟（HVRS）对牙科学生在临床前牙科手术中获得心理技能的影响。I类洞准备（CP）进行基线由21名新手牙科学生塑料牙齿。记录CP的持续时间，并对腔特征进行评价和评分。然后，学生们接受了关于CP的HVRS培训。在HVRS培训后，每个学生对塑料牙进行另一次I级CP，然后进行评估，并记录持续时间。HVRS训练后CP执行时间有统计学显著性减少（p < 0.001），HVRS训练后CP平均总分增加（p < 0.001）。在HVRS训练后，学生在CP中的表现在牙髓底的光滑度方面有统计学显著的改善（p = 0.047），髓底方向（p = 0.029）颊、舌和近中壁方向（p = 0.004，p = 0.025，p = 0.002）、近中壁和远侧壁平滑度（p = 0.01，p = 0.001）、内部线角（p = 0.024）和内部顶角（p = 0.029）。HVRS培训后，心理技能的整体表现有所改善。将HVRS培训早期纳入临床前牙科手术课程可能是有益的，作为传统体模头部培训的辅助手段。
One of the current trends in dental education is to empower dental students on a global platform using advanced technology. Haptic virtual reality simulation (HVRS) is a relatively new technology in the field of teaching and learning operative dentistry. This study aims to assess the impact of haptic virtual reality simulation (HVRS) on dental students’ psychomotor skills acquisition in preclinical operative dentistry. Class I cavity preparations (CP) were performed at baseline by 21 novice dental students on plastic teeth. Duration of CP was recorded and cavity features were evaluated and scored. Then, students were exposed to HVRS training on CP. Another Class I CP was performed by each student on plastic teeth after HVRS training, then evaluated, and the duration was recorded. There was a statistically significant decrease in CP performance time after HVRS training (p < 0.001) and an increase in the mean total marks of CP after HVRS training (p < 0.001). The change in the students’ performance in the CP displayed a statistically significant improvement after HVRS training in smoothness of the pulpal floor (p = 0.047), pulpal floor direction (p = 0.029), buccal, lingual, and mesial wall direction (p = 0.004, p = 0.025, p = 0.002), mesial and distal wall smoothness (p = 0.01, p = 0.001), internal line angle (p = 0.024), and internal point angle (p = 0.029). Overall improved performance in psychomotor skills was found after HVRS training. It could be beneficial to incorporate HVRS training early in pre-clinical operative dentistry courses as an adjunct to conventional phantom head training.
