However, despite the growing body of literature, there is no comprehensive bibliometric analysis mapping influential studies, research trends, and emerging topics in this field. This study aims to analyze the structure, hotspots, and evolution of digital technology research in dental education through bibliometric methods.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>The bibliometric analysis was conducted using data from the Web of Science Core Collection database. Relevant publications were retrieved using predefined keywords related to AI, VR, AR, simulation, and digital learning in dental education. Annual publication, collaboration networks, highly-cited articles, citation analysis, and keyword citation bursts were examined. The study identified research clusters, high-impact articles, and evolving trends over time.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The analysis revealed a steady increase in publications. Collaboration networks highlighted key research hubs in North America and Europe. The most prominent keywords include \"dental education,\" \"virtual reality,\" \"e-learning,\" \"augmented reality,\" \"artificial intelligence,\" and \"COVID-19.\" Strong citation bursts were observed for keywords such as educational technology, online learning, and learning environments, indicating a shift towards technology-driven teaching methods. However, gaps in faculty training, accessibility, and AI validation remain challenges in fully integrating these technologies into curricula.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Despite challenges, digital technologies continue to reshape dental education, with VR, AR, AI, and online learning playing increasingly important roles. Future research should focus on standardized implementation guidelines and technology refinement to maximize their effectiveness in dental training.</p>","PeriodicalId":50216,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Dental Education","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144977189","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Traditional instruction typically involves lectures and peer-based practice. However, concerns over ethical and medical complications have spurred the development of alternative training methods. Various dental anesthesia manikins and virtual reality simulators now assist educators in teaching fine motor skills and providing students with practical experience in a safe, repeatable environment.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>A new simulation rotation was integrated into the second-year local anesthesia curriculum, involving 147 students divided into groups of three, guided by one faculty member. Students practiced dental injections on anesthesia manikins during a 1-h session. Pre- and post-rotation examinations assessed knowledge of techniques and clinical application, while student feedback was gathered through post-rotation survey.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Post-rotation examination scores revealed statistically significant improvement, highlighting the educational benefits of integrating manikin-based simulations. Nevertheless, student feedback indicated a preference for a hybrid learning model that incorporates both manikin-based and traditional clinical training.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Anesthesia manikins significantly improve students' comprehension and proficiency in local dental anesthesia. Despite these benefits, students prefer a blended approach that integrates manikin practice with conventional peer-based clinical training.

The relationship between patients and their healthcare professionals can be complex and challenging, especially for undergraduate dental students. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the perceptions, feelings, and difficulties of dental students triggered when caring for patients during their undergraduate course.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Eighty-six undergraduate dental students responded to a semi-structured questionnaire about their experiences with patient care in the oral medicine clinic.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Forty-two students (48.8%) felt uncomfortable with the patients' anamnesis questions. Among these, the inquiries about sexually transmitted infections (STIs) were the most discomforting topic to address with the patient (65%), followed by drug abuse (35%) and sexual behavior (15%). According to the students, the most difficult topic to discuss with the patient was a negative diagnosis (40%), followed by STIs and sexual behavior (25.3%), and physical and sexual violence (20%). During patient care, the main challenging issue was dealing with uncooperative patients, reported by 29 students (36.7%). About the challenges faced during patient interviews, the majority of the students reported feeling bad when the patient shared a negative life story (90.7%) or when they described a traumatic life event (83.7%). A portion of the students (26.7%) reported that this discomfort in hearing a patient's negative life story can negatively impact the care they provide to the patient.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Dental students experience evident difficulties in clinical practice with patients in the oral medicine clinic, especially in relation to some themes addressed during the anamnesis.

Interviews were recorded, transcribed verbatim, and coded. Thematic analysis was used to organize data from transcripts and develop themes.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Interviews were conducted with 25 patients (18 females, 7 males; age range 22-68 years). Four themes were developed: (1) Patients' perception of dentists' technical skills and reputation was important to building trust. Dentists perceived by patients to provide high-quality work, minimize pain, use current technology, and have positive endorsements led to trust. (2) Patients' perception of dentists' communication skills and empathy was important to building trust. Patients reported having trust in dentists who communicated treatment details, remained transparent, engaged them in decision-making, and prioritized their well-being. (3) Patients varied in how they associated trust with cost and their previous dental experience. (4) Trust influenced patient decisions to proceed with dental treatment.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Trust is a dynamic component of the dentist-patient relationship that patients assess throughout their treatment-seeking process. Empathy and communication skills are modifiable attributes that dentists can develop to build their patients' trust. Dentists have less control over how patients perceive their competence. Patient trust in dentists fosters active engagement in treatment, while distrust can lead to switching dentists or avoiding treatment.</p>","PeriodicalId":50216,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Dental Education","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144977187","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
