Abstract: We aimed to evaluate the impact of Virtual Reality Dental Simulators (VRDS) on preclinical
training in endodontics for undergraduate dental students. Purposive sampling technique was
used to target undergraduate dental students at two dental schools: in Qatar and Turkey. After
training on endodontic access cavity preparation on upper anterior teeth using acrylic teeth on dental
mannequins and virtual reality haptic dental simulator, a questionnaire based on a combination of
open- and closed-ended items was distributed to the participants. The sample included 60 dental
undergraduate students. The participants reported positive experiences with VRDS and 76% considered it to be helpful in improving their fine motor skills. Endodontic access cavity preparation
on VRDS was perceived to be similar to natural and acrylic teeth by 73.34% and 53% of participants,
respectively. Overall, 85% of participants supported the use of VRDS training to supplement conventional training on dental mannequins but also recommended the need for improvements in VRDS
training in endodontics. The findings of this study underscore the benefits of VRDS in endodontics.
Future research involving larger samples from multiple institutions may help to optimize VRDS in
undergraduate dental education.
