The goal of this study was to explore whether the ability of precise mirror-inverted movements can be learned and improved with the device Mirroprep and whether practice success can be transferred to the clinical situation. Three groups of students at different levels of dental study and different achievement levels were asked to perform a drawing exercise with indirect vision using Mirroprep. Further, the group of most senior students were asked whether the motor skills learned with this device were helpful in clinical tooth preparations by use of the dental mirror. According to the test results, we were able to show that mirror-inverted motor functions can be learned and improved by practice and that it is also helpful for performing tooth preparations. Because of this, it is deemed reasonable for students to start practicing with the training device during their preclinical studies and to have their skills tested.
本研究旨在探索使用 Mirroprep 设备是否可以学习和提高精确镜像运动的能力，以及练习的成功是否可以转移到临床情况。我们邀请了三组不同牙科学习水平和不同成就水平的学生使用 Mirroprep 进行间接视觉的绘图练习。此外，我们还询问了最高年级的学生群体，他们是否认为通过使用牙科镜学习到的这个设备的运动技能有助于临床牙齿预备。根据测试结果，我们能够表明镜像运动功能可以通过练习来学习和提高，并且对于进行牙齿预备也很有帮助。因此，我们认为学生在临床前学习期间开始使用训练设备进行练习并测试他们的技能是合理的。
