Sanal gerçeklik, teknoloji yardımıyla oluşturulan simülasyonlar ve görsel/işitsel deneyimlerle gerçeklik ve hayal dünyasının birleştirilmesidir. İlk olarak, sanal gerçeklik teknolojisi eğlence sektöründe yaygın olarak kullanılmıştır. Zamanla sanal gerçeklik teknolojisi eğitim, sağlık, endüstri, üretim gibi farklı sektörlerde de kullanım alanı bulmuştur. Sanal gerçeklik teknolojisinin diş hekimliği alanında kullanımı önemli bir gelişmedir. Diş hekimliğinde sanal gerçeklik uygulamaları hem eğitim ve simülasyonda hem de hastaların tedavi sürecindeki deneyimlerinin iyileştirilmesi açısından değerli bir araç olmuştur. Eğitim ve simülasyon alanında sanal gerçeklik, diş hekimliği öğrencilerine ve profesyonellerine gerçekçi bir ortamda pratik yapma imkânı sunar. Öğrenciler, sanal ortamlarda diş tedavilerini uygulayarak pratik becerilerini geliştirebilir ve karmaşık prosedürleri tekrarlayarak deneyim kazanabilirler. Ayrıca sanal gerçeklik simülasyonları, yeni tekniklerin öğrenilmesi ve mevcut becerilerin güncellenmesi için etkili bir araçtır. Hastaların tedavi sürecinde endişe ve korku gibi duygusal faktörleri hafifletmeye yardımcı olur. Özellikle dental fobisi olan hastalar için sanal gerçeklik kullanılarak rahatlatıcı bir ortam yaratılabilir ve tedaviye uyumlarını arttırabilir. Sanal gerçeklik, görsel ve işitsel simülasyonlarla ağrıyı azaltabilir ve tedavi sürecini daha hoş bir deneyim haline getirebilir. Diş hekimliğindeki diğer bir kullanım alanı ise tedavi planlaması ve tasarımında sanal gerçeklik kullanımıdır. Bu sayede kişiye özgü tedavi planları oluşturulabilir.

Virtual Reality Applications in Dentistry

Öz

Virtual reality is the combination of reality and imagination through the creation of simulations and audio/visual experiences using technology. Initially, virtual reality technology was widely used in the entertainment industry. Over time it has found applications in various sectors such as education, healthcare, industry, and manufacturing. The utilization of virtual reality technology in the field of dentistry is a significant advancement. Virtual reality applications in dentistry have been valuable tools for both education and improving the patient experience during treatment. In the area of education and simulation, virtual reality provides dental students and professionals with the opportunity to practice in a realistic environment. Students can enhance their practical skills by performing dental procedures in virtual settings and gain experience by repeating complex procedures. Additionally, virtual reality simulations are effective tools for learning new techniques and updating existing skills. Virtual reality helps alleviate emotional factors such as anxiety and fear during the patient's treatment process. It can create a soothing environment using virtual reality, particularly for patients with dental phobia, and enhance their compliance with the treatment. Virtual reality can reduce pain through visual and auditory simulations, making the treatment process a more pleasant experience. Another application of virtual reality in dentistry is its use in treatment planning and design. This enables the creation of personalized treatment plans for individuals.
