Overview

Simulation improved proficiency in local anesthesia for dental students, suggesting a hybrid approach is beneficial.

Key Points

  • Post-rotation examination scores showed significant improvement in local anesthesia skills among students.
  • Students preferred a hybrid learning model that combines anesthesia manikins with traditional training methods.
  • Incorporating simulation into the curriculum emphasizes hands-on practice, enhancing comprehension of local anesthesia.
  • Feedback indicates that more manikin sessions and virtual reality tools may further prepare students for clinical practice.
