Student Repetition Boosting

Another training approach, provided only by the Simodont is Repetition Boosting.  The pandemic created a gap in the ability to teach dental students due to clinic closure.  This produced D4s that for the first time had less than 10 reps on procedures, prior to graduating.  The Simodont is a virtual reality and haptic dental training simulator.  The Simodont allows students to perform patient-like procedures with high dental fidelity.  This unique offering can only be provided by the Simodont, allowing students to rapidly perform repetitions by simulating patient procedures over and over to boost  repetitions and lower clinical failure.  Repetitions can be completed in less than half the time and easily reset and completed again, just like a video game, helping students get more reps in before graduating.

Idea Generation and Product Innovation

The Simodont Dental Trainer has been evaluated by many dental educators and examiners since it was released to the market. However, previous evaluations could have been very different from the Simodont Dental Trainer of today. Nissin, Kilgore, and Promethean Dental Systems are collaborating every day on new innovations for the Simodont Dental Trainer, including new case procedures, new instruments, improved haptics, new assessments, and performance analytics.
