Detailed Information/Report on Activities
Virtual reality (VR) and haptic simulators are increasingly being integrated into preclinical dental education to enhance psychomotor skills, procedural accuracy, and learner engagement. Although numerous systematic reviews have examined their effectiveness, the evidence base remains fragmented, limiting curricular implementation. The purpose of this study is to synthesize and critically appraise systematic reviews that evaluate the impact of VR and haptic simulators on preclinical training and dental education outcomes.
