Penerapan Virtual Reality pada Simulasi Operasi Gigi Bungsu

Abstract

Today, the learning media provided in academia are increasingly diverse, followed by technological developments, making the delivery of learning materials more interactive and innovative. One of them is in the field of dentistry education, where in general students have to provide their own tools which are usually disposable, so repeated purchases can occur, and also reduce the mobility of the learning itself. This research aims to create interesting and interactive alternative learning media for students, so that it can help and deepen their understanding of what is conveyed in traditional learning. This research focuses on the application of virtual reality technology to simulate wisdom tooth surgery. 30 students were also included as respondents to test the effectiveness and feasibility of this research. The test results showed that 90.67% agreed that this application displays interesting and interactive things, followed by 89.3% who felt that this application could be a useful tool in learning at the Faculty of Dentistry.
