In the sector of dental education, AR is able to provide students with immersive and interactive visuals. AR applications are projecting 3D dental models thus offering a better understanding of dental anatomy and procedures. Visual aid this this helps in effective learning and information retention. To give an example, a company that provides Augmented Reality(AR) technologies for dental education is DentSim. It is a well-known provider of AR-based dental simulation systems. Their technology combines real-time Augmented Reality with advanced software to create immersive and interactive training environments for dental students."Augmented Reality (AR) is a technology in which the user's interaction with the real world becomes enhanced through computer-generated information and graphics. The result is a virtual world in which the viewer sees a combination of reality and digital data with the potential to affect all the senses: sight, touch, hearing, and even smell and taste", mentioned Steven Tuggle, DMD. Integration of digital technologies in the dental education sector has helped transform the nature of courses and enhanced the learning capability of students as well. Apart from the above, the usage of haptic technology and cloud computing programs are also helping boost the dental education market as whole. The industry is poised to integrate more digital innovations into dentistry course structures in the years to come.
