The Application and Effect of a Novel Oral Mirror Training Device Combined With <scp>BOPPPS</scp> Teaching Mode in Enhancing Hand‐Eye Coordination Skills of Dental Students

The integration of oral mirror training technology with the BOPPPS model establishes an effective paradigm for clinically authentic skill acquisition in dental education. This study demonstrates significant improvements in students' mirror-involved operational competencies (e.g., posterior tooth preparations and indirect vision techniques) through structured simulation training. Future developments should prioritise: (1) technical refinement of the training apparatus to incorporate real-time digital assessment capabilities, enabling adaptive learning pathways; (2) longitudinal tracking of clinical performance outcomes to validate the transferability of the use of oral glasses. This dual focus on technological enhancement and outcome validation will further bridge the gap between simulated training and clinical practice in operative dentistry.
