Description
Katarina Bevizova, Hisham El Falougy, Andrej Thurzo and Stefan Harsanyi wrote a 2024 review on virtual reality in dental anatomy teaching. Classic teaching leans on cadavers and lectures, which are costly and raise ethical issues. Complex 3D tooth shapes are also hard to convey flat. Virtual reality offers a hands-on, 3D setting instead.
The team searched three databases for studies that compared VR with other methods. A small set fed the pooled analysis. The pooled result showed a moderate gain for VR over lectures and flat models. VR fell short in some checks, the authors note. Personal ratings from more studies added context to the numbers.
