Enhancing Psychomotor Skills and Educational Engagement in Endodontic Microsurgery Through Virtual Reality with Haptic Feedback: A Comparative Study

The study demonstrates that VR is a viable tool for improving psychomotor skills, offering a high degree of realism and immersive learning. Students particularly valued the ability to safely practice procedures in a virtual setting, which supported both skill acquisition and confidence. The preference for VR-based training highlights its potential role in modern curricula as a complement to traditional preclinical methods. VR simulations integration into dental curricula represents a promising approach to augment traditional preclinical training.
