Achieving new excellence in an augmented reality dental education system

Le résumé fourni par la source

Background/purpose: SimEx-Plus (EPED. Inc) was already a mature augmented reality (AR) dental training simulator that allowed students to have a high quality dental education practice. Now the EPCAD software has been further developed into a comprehensive computer-aided design software. It helps relevant professionals learn how to create digital fixed prosthesis in a virtual environment. This study used the newly developed EPCAD software that was integrated within the SimEx-Plus to design dental restorations then digital output milling restorations. We hope that the SimEx-Plus AR dental training simulator can achieve the multi-purpose function in one machine. Materials and methods: A right maxillary central incisor was prepared in the standard dental model. The restorations were designed by EPCAD software integrated with the SimEx-Plus and milled by a 4-axis dental milling machine (N4+, vhf camfacture AG). The internal gap of the restoration was evaluated. Results: < 0.05, One-Way ANOVA). Conclusion: The new software EPCAD that was integrated within the SimEx-Plus AR dental training simulator could design restorations, and the designed restorations had good internal gap for clinical use. The professionals can learn tooth preparation and digital restoration fabrication by the SimEx-Plus AR dental training system.
