Simulation Laboratory
It is essential for dental students to learn how to transit theory to practice before entering patient clinics. The lab provides opportunity for students to practice and enhance their manual skills. From BDS 1 to 6 students, they are introduced to all aspects of dentistry and they can perform dental treatment procedures on simulators. It is an interactive learning environment for instructors and students.
To enhance the training of undergraduate students’ manual dexterity and hand-eye coordination for surgical procedures, the unit has six bimanual “haptics” (touch-feedback) systems, which use two joysticks to simulate the 3D feel of dental instruments as well as different layers of healthy and diseased teeth. The sight and sound of dental procedures are also closely simulated. The Faculty is the first dental school in Asia to use these 3D simulators for training dental operative skills.
