Diş hekimliği preklinik eğitimi için sanal gerçeklik ortamında diş modellerinin oluşturulması: Pilot çalışma

Amaç: Hızla artan teknolojik gelişmeler diş hekimliği eğitimini ister istemez etkilemektedir. Çalışmamızın amacı, çevreleyici sanal gerçeklik ortamında gözlemlenebilecek 3 boyutlu dijital diş modelleri oluşturmak ve bu modellerin diş hekimliği eğitiminde kullanmaya uygunluğunu incelemektir.Çalışmamızın amacı, çevreleyici sanal gerçeklik ortamında gözlemlenebilecek 3 boyutlu dijital diş modelleri oluşturmak ve bu modellerin diş hekimliği eğitiminde kullanmaya uygunluğunu incelemektir.Gereç ve Yöntemler: Diş hekimliği pre-klinik eğitiminde kullanılmak üzere pembe mumdan yapılan diş anatomisine uygun diş modelleri model tarayıcısı ile taranarak üç boyutlu dijital diş modelleri oluşturuldu. Bu modeller sanal gerçeklik ortamına aktarıldı. Modeller iki uzman tarafından sanal gerçeklik ortamında incelendi ve 7 seçenekli Likert skalası uygulandı. İstatistiksel yöntem Mann Whitney U ve Bağımsız T testi analizleri yapıldı.Bulgular: Likert anketi cevaplarında; hiç bir soru için gözlemciler arasında istatiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark görülmedi (p>0,05). Bağımsız T testi sonuçlarına göre; sanal gerçeklik ortamındaki modellerin pembe mumdan yapılan modellere benzediği (p<0,05) fakat anatomik yapı karmaşıklaştıkça kron ve kök şekillerinin daha zor anlaşıldığı görüldü.Sonuç: Bu çalışmada sanal gerçeklik ortamındaki dijital modellerin pembe mumdan hazırlanan modelleri yansıttığı görülmüştür.

Creating tooth models in virtual reality environment for dentistry preclinical education: Pilot study

Aim: Rapid technological developments inevitably effects dentistry education. The aim of this study is to create three dimensional (3D) digital models of teeth which can be observed in immersive virtual reality environment and further to investigate their validity in terms of dentistry education.Material and Methods: Anatomically appropriate pink wax tooth models which are used in dentistry preclinical education are scanned and three dimensional digital tooth models are created. These models are imported into virtual reality environment. Digital models are examined by two specialists in virtual reality environment with 7-choice Likert scale was applied. Statistical method Mann Whitney U and Independent T test analyzes were performed.Results: Likert survey answers; There was no statistically significant difference between the observers for any questions (p> 0.05). According to independent T test results; observed that models in virtual reality environment reflect pink wax models (p <0.05) but it is harder to comprehend crown and root shapes in virtual environment for more complex anatomical structures.Conclusion: It is observed that digital models in virtual reality environments reflect pink wax models.
