Endodontic Simulator for Training the Access to the Pulp Chamber and Root Canal Preparation Tasks

摘要

This paper describes a Virtual Reality simulator to perform dentist training in tasks such as the access to the pulp chamber and the preparation of root canal. The simulator consists of a haptic device adapted to simulate the instruments used in dental procedures, a virtual environment simulating the interactions between the haptic device and the tooth being treated and a visualization tool of the simulation.
