The economic forces in the dental education industry yield a high cost for a dental degree, yet the financial return for this education yields a small margin above the costs for this degree. Industries with unfavorable return to investment ratios tend to be vulnerable to changes. Productive technologies are emerging that may be useful in improving the return to investment ratios in dental education. Virtual reality and online learning provide productive value that could be useful to the dental education industry. A description and use cases of virtual reality in dental implantology education are provided.
