Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i? Students using HVRS with SIMtoCARE dente for pulpotomy completed procedures faster (23.7 ± 1 min) than students using conventional simulators (25.9 ± 8.9 min). → Ruslin Muhammad 2026

In the review's synthesis of procedural-time outcomes, Philip et al.'s pilot study is reported as showing "lower procedural time (23.7 ± 1 min) versus conventional simulators (25.9 ± 8.9 min)" in pediatric dentistry pulpotomy training. No effect size or test statistic is printed.
"Philip et al. found students using HVRS with SIMtoCARE dente® for pulpotomy had lower procedural time (23.7 ± 1 min) versus conventional simulators (25.9 ± 8.9 min) [35]."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Immersive reality training produced higher knowledge and skill scores than conventional training in dental studies — related
- Several included studies found haptic VR training equivalent rather than superior to conventional dental training — related
- Virtual haptic drilling training achieved outcomes similar to conventional practice in less time in restorative dentistry — related
- Virtual reality was particularly effective for procedural skill development and knowledge retention in paediatric undergraduate training — a broader claim this one bears on
- Qualitative analysis found radiation became perceptible in VR for all participants, while all reported operability differences favoring conventional training — related
- AR/VR training shows equal or superior outcomes versus conventional training in dental and OMFS education — a broader claim this one bears on
- Haptic simulator trials more frequently show superior accuracy outcomes when force-feedback and structured guidance are included — related
