Mirror training device improves dental students' performance on virtual simulation dental training system.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Clinical practice of dentistry entails the use of indirect vision using a dental mirror. The Mirrosistant is a device that helps dental students become proficient with use of indirect vision mirror operation. This study aimed to explore the role of the Mirrosistant on students' performance with the virtual simulation dental training system.

Materials and methods

A total of 72 dental students were equally assigned to the Control group and the Experimental group. Subsequently, Mirrosistant was used to conduct a series of mirror training exercises in the Experimental group. The training consisted of tracing the edge and filling in the blank of the prescribed shape, as well as preparing the specified figure on raw eggs using indirect vision via Mirrosistant. Next, b
