AR and VR in Dentistry:

How are VR and AR being used in dentistry?

 Application of Immersive Technologies 
As an Element of Interactive Learning
You can recreate any situation in a virtual environment. It, in turn, allows you to interact with equipment and patients, learn and sharpen your working methods and skills. And you only need a VR headset and a software. 

Educational facilities can use AR/VR to instruct and train dental students or improve medical staff’s skills. Using high-quality dentition and dental structure 3D models, students can study different tooth layers, structures, and functions, as well as comprehend how they work together to create a healthy oral environment. 

Opportunity to Study Remotely
One of the main advantages of using VR and AR for training is the ability to practice anywhere, even at home. Besides, you can conduct joint training with people who are in different places. It helps to share experiences and set up the most effective communication between specialists.


Patient Education 
Augmented and virtual reality techs can assist dentists in explaining various dental procedures to their patients, using interactive methods. With 3D models showing patients’ teeth, gums, and oral cavities, dentists can make out a diagnosis, set a treatment plan, and visually present expected results in an understandable way. Patients can also study several treatment options to make an informed decision about their oral health. 

Augmented and Virtual Reality in Implant Dentistry 
Having 3D models of patients’ jawbones and teeth, dentists can determine the best place and angle for implants, choose the appropriate prosthesis size and shape, and avoid damage to neighboring teeth or proximal nerves. 

This approach allows specialists to reduce implant rejection risks or complications and provide patients with better aesthetic and

Modern digital dentistry practices
Dental Treatment Simulation 
Using augmented and virtual reality, dentists can simulate dental treatment before starting it. This method can be especially useful for complex procedures requiring careful planning and high precision, like oral surgery or implant installation. 

Carrying out treatment pre-simulation in a virtual environment, dentists can reveal potential problems or complications, optimize the operation process, and make sure that patients will get the expected results. 

Anesthesia and Phobia Treatment 
A good dental clinic always tries to make the patient’s visit as pleasant as possible. However, quite often the treatment of the oral cavity causes discomfort to the patient. 

When patients put on a VR headset and immerse themselves in a relaxing and enjoyable virtual environment, they can focus on something other than the treatment. The technology will help people relax and experience positive emotions from visiting a dental office. 

Consequently, AR/VR techs can become an excellent dental phobia therapy that engulfs patients in virtual dental environments and procedures using a controlled and safe method. 
To Achieve the Effect of Real-Time Surgery
Students can watch lessons on prosthetics and oral treatment as direct participant in the procedure. Also, they can not only watch the prepared scenario of the operation, but also try to reproduce it individually, in pairs, or under the guidance of a professional.

Virtual reality allows you to connect to the training an unlimited number of trainees. So students can train in complex operations as a whole. Moreover, virtual reality training applications allow you to record the progress of each trainee, check the correctness of their tasks, and so on.

The Last Page Of Memories!!

Image
The corridors of ADCH echoed with laughter,  but that day, it wasn’t just any laughter. It was the sound of friendships woven over years, of Department memories, canteen memories, and of the final chapter of an unforgettable. They stood arm in arm, their white coats covered in scribbled messages, signatures, and farewell notes. Their hearts were heavy, but their faces beamed with joy. It was their last day as students. They were diffrent people but... Over time, they became inseparable—helping each other survive with dept.chaos, celebrating small victories like diagnosing a rare condition in class, and the most unforgotable memories in the garden,canteen & what not. The Picture That Said It All The next morning, as they stood in their white coats one last time, someone suggested a picture. But as the camera clicked, none of them could hold back their emotions. Laughter bubbled up, memories flooded their hearts, and for a brief moment, time stood still. This w...

Whispers of Eternity!!

Part 1: The First Glimpse The clock struck 2:45 p.m., and Vishva sprinted down the bustling street with Janki, her best friend. They were running late for their chemistry class at the tuition center, laughter echoing as they dodged through the crowded corridors. Panting, Janki pulled Vishva’s arm, “Hurry up! We’re already ten minutes late!” As they reached the classroom door, Janki pushed it open, but they stopped dead in their tracks. It wasn’t their chemistry class—it was the math lecture, packed with students scribbling furiously on their notebooks. A sudden hush fell over the room as heads turned to look at the two uninvited guests. Embarrassed, Vishva’s eyes darted around, her cheeks flushing pink. But then, her gaze froze. There he was. Sitting on the first bench, leaning forward with intense focus, was Ved. He wore a grey hoodie, black spectacles that framed his sharp eyes, and black shoes neatly tucked under his seat. His fingers twirled a pen while his other hand scribbled equ...

The girl who found her voice

Aarushi had always been the quiet one. As a child, she was the kind who would rather stay in her room, curled up with a book or scribbling in her journal, than engage in the noisy bustle of family gatherings or school events. She was an introvert, comfortable with her solitude, content with the world she created in her head. But there was one thing that always tugged at her—she had dreams, big dreams, but no voice to share them. Her dream was simple: to inspire people with her words. But the problem was, she didn’t believe her words were worth hearing. When she entered college, she thought things would change. She’d always loved to write, but here, among so many people, the pressure to be seen and heard was overwhelming. No one noticed the shy girl who sat at the back of the class, her head always buried in her notebook. But Aarushi didn’t mind. She wrote quietly, just as she always had, never daring to share her work. One day, while scrolling through social media, Aarushi came across ...
