Preclinical training in phantom heads has until now been considered the 'gold standard' for restorative dental education, but the transition from preclinic to the treatment of real patients has remained a challenge. With the introduction of the latest generation of virtual reality simulators, students and dental practitioners can make digital impressions of their patients in virtual reality models and practice procedures in virtual reality before clinically performing them. In this way, clinical decisions can be investigated and practiced prior to actual treatment, enhancing the safety of the treatment and the self-confidence to perform it. With the 3M™ True Definition Scanner and the Moog Simodont Dental Trainer, 3 masters students and a general dental practitioner practiced their procedures in virtual reality prior to performing them on real patients. They were very satisfied with this preparation and the result of the treatment.
迄今为止，在模拟人头模型上进行临床前培训一直被视为口腔修复学教育的“黄金标准”，但从临床前过渡到治疗真实患者仍然是一项挑战。随着最新一代虚拟现实模拟器的推出，学生和牙科从业者可以在虚拟现实模型中为患者进行数字印模，并在临床实施之前在虚拟现实中练习操作程序。通过这种方式，可以在实际治疗之前对临床决策进行研究和实践，提高治疗的安全性以及实施治疗的自信心。3名硕士生和1名普通牙科从业者使用3M™ True Definition扫描仪和穆格Simodont牙科训练器，在对真实患者进行治疗之前，先在虚拟现实中练习操作程序。他们对这种准备工作和治疗结果非常满意。
