q2 i? Orthodontic residents showed no significant difference in overall treatment-planning performance across 2D, 3D, and VR simulations, and interview evidence indicated readiness to adopt VR simulation. → SIPIYARUK Kawin 2023

SIPIYARUK Kawin, KAEWSIRIRAT Prachworrakit, SANTIWONG Peerapong. (2023). Technology-enhanced simulation-based learning in orthodontic education: A scoping review. Dental Press Journal of Orthodontics. https://doi.org/10.1590/2177-6709.28.3.e2321354.oar

q2 · i? · review · r3

The review reports, from Sytek et al.'s mixed-methods study assessing orthodontic residents' performance and attitudes in orthognathic surgery treatment planning, a null performance comparison plus qualitative interview findings on adoption attitudes; equivalence was not tested.

"The mixed-methods research reported no significant difference in overall performance of residents among 2D, 3D, and VR simulations. In addition, the evidence from semi-structured interview demonstrated that the residents also tended to be ready to adopt VR simulation"
