Immersive Reality-Based Training Simulator for Dental Extraction: Protocol for a Randomized Pilot Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Dental students' competencies are shaped by their training, yet traditional methods with mannequins often lack the depth necessary for comprehensive understanding, potentially impacting clinical proficiency. Immersive reality (IR) innovatively offers interactive and scenario-based environments that may enhance skill acquisition.

Objective

This study evaluates the effectiveness of IR-based training implementation in comparison with conventional training methods for dental extractions.

Methods

A prospective multicenter randomized clinical trial was conducted. Students were randomized to either IR-based training on open and closed extractions or conventional hands-on tutorials by oral surgeons. Post training, participants' satisfaction and understanding were a
