Virtual simulation system for prosthodontics. Part I
Current computerized technologies introduced into dental prosthetics use 3D imaging, simulation systems, virtual reality. The virtual reality system, based on haptic technology, is a new instrument in the teaching process, still developing. The necessity to implement virtual reality technology has emerged from the fact that medical practice has been restricted to patients in recent years. Virtual reality systems have been introduced in order to practice certain clinical maneuvers and to acquire specific skills. Actual, virtual technology is at the stage where offers advanced simulations to users by combining visual and tactile response. The efficiency of e-learning platforms is increased when including virtual reality technologies. Thus, a new, interactive concept is introduced.
