Application and challenges of virtual simulation technology in oral implant nursing teaching

doi:10.19438/j.cjoms.2025.02.013

Abstract

Abstract: Virtual simulation technology combines computer technology, 3D graphics, multimedia, and more to provide a multi-sensory immersive experience, and it is widely applied in various fields. This paper analyzed the application of virtual simulation technology in basic nursing and oral implantology care education, summarizing its effectiveness and the challenges it faces. Traditional teaching methods have limitations in fostering students' self-directed learning and practical skills. In contrast, virtual simulation technology, with its immersive and interactive nature, enhances students' interest in learning and operational skills, effectively addressing some shortcomings of traditional education. The paper discussed technical, cost and design challenges encountered in the application of virtual simulation technology in nursing education and proposes corresponding solutions.

Key words: Virtual simulation technology, Oral implantology, Nursing teaching, Teaching method
