Virtual reality training for tooth root canal procedures
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests whether dental students learn root canal access preparation better with a virtual reality (VR) simulator or a mobile app. If you are a dental student with some computer skills and no prior VR training, this trial may help you practice without using real patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a dental student in your 2nd or 3rd year of preclinical training.
- You have not used a virtual reality (VR) simulator or the Dental EndoMaster app before.
- You have not done real root canal procedures on patients yet.
- You are not taking medication for anxiety, depression, or any long-term illness that affects your mind or body.
- You are comfortable using computers (at least a moderate level).
- You have some basic knowledge about tooth cavity preparation, which will be checked with a short quiz.
- The study uses your teeth: specifically, front teeth (upper incisors) with an infection at the tip of the root and only a small cavity on the biting surface.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you have no other dental issues like extra canals or severe decay.
