In VOXEL-MAN Dental, teeth and instruments are modeled inside a computer and visualized on a 3D screen. The high resolution tooth models were derived from real teeth by microtomography. The dental handpiece is represented by a haptic device which can be moved in three dimensions and provides a very life-like sense of touch. With VOXEL-MAN Dental, you can actually feel the subtle differences between enamel, dentin, pulp, or carious tissue.
VOXEL-MAN Dental is fully integrated with a dental curriculum. The dental models include carious lesions at various locations, such as mesial, occlusal, and distal tooth decay. Students thus work on realistic cases, including development of a treatment plan and removal of caries, long before they see their first real patient. This approach provides a major step ahead from prescribed standard preparations to problem-based training, bridging the gap between theory and practice. All procedures can be practiced as often as needed, with no costs for disposable parts. As all students undergo standardized training procedures, results are comparable.
As a step further, VOXEL-MAN Dental also includes an automatic skills assessment. Both process and result of a student preparation undergo an objective evaluation, based on predefined standards such as a reference preparation of a cavity or a crown. Hence, students get immediate feedback on their work, progress over time can be monitored, and instructors have more time available for real teaching.| 3B 科技 产品型号 | Voxel-Man |
