- Surgical simulation in dentistry: a scoping reviewPublication . Le Divenach, Thierry Yves Marie; Pereira, JorgeIntroduction: Since the origins of surgery, simulation has played an important role in surgical training, especially in the medical field. However, in dentistry, simulation has predominantly focused on conservative care, neglecting aspects of oral surgery despite extractions and other endodontic or periodontal surgeries are part of the daily routine. Given this lack of attention, this study seeks to address this gap by examining the scope of simulation systems dedicated to oral surgery. Objective: This scoping review aims to explore the literature related to simulation in dentistry for surgical training purposes. Methods: Following PRISMA guidelines, this scoping review utilized the JBI methodology in a two-step iterative process. Initial searches identified application models (e.g. animal, cadaver, 3D printing, Virtual Reality) using PubMed & Google scholar for their broad coverage and grey literature databases. A second round of research was conducted for each simulation model identified using these databases plus Science Direct and B-On to make it more thorough. Publications were managed using Mendeley Reference Manager, and data are presented in a comprehensive narrative summary. Results: Among 534 publications initially identified, 148 were included in this review. Topics covered simulation models, associated technologies, surgical procedures, and relevant surgical skills. A trend toward synthetically-based simulators was observed, despite their lower realism, due to greater prospects for technical development. Conclusion: This review outlines the literature to existing surgical simulation models in dentistry, scoping the different alternatives proposed for both soft and psychomotor skills. The abundance and diversity of simulators, along with the benefits described by most authors, strongly suggest to enhance the use of simulation in the surgical curriculum. Perfused cadavers emerged as the most realistic simulators albeit the most expensive and difficult to implement while animal model remains the standard for many procedures. 3D-printing shows great potential for evolution and pedagogical advantages and virtual solutions require further advancement even if promising avenues for future development.
