The Use of Augmented Reality in Dental Education

Thesis Abstract

This research project aims to explore the use of augmented reality (AR) technology in dental education and training. AR has emerged as a promising tool for enhancing learning experiences and skill development in various fields, including healthcare. In the context of dental education, AR applications offer interactive and immersive learning environments that can simulate clinical scenarios, anatomical structures, and procedural guidance. This study will investigate the potential benefits and challenges of integrating AR technology into dental curricula, as well as its impact on student engagement, knowledge retention, and clinical competency. By evaluating the effectiveness of AR-based educational interventions, the project seeks to provide insights into the future integration of AR in dental education and its implications for professional training and practice.
