Simodont Courseware Student Application Students work on the Simodont and:
- Practice in their own time
- Login using manual login, swipe ID card or RFID card
- Select cases from planned courses
- Choose their own positioning: left or right handed
- Learn about the virtual patient
- Write a treatment plan and make treatment plan drawings
- Select the required instruments for the planned treatment
- Easily switch between different virtual instruments for the preparation of the tooth
- Can actually feel the difference between the different tissues in the tooth.
- Save 3D snapshots at different stages of the preparation
- Repeat exercises from a certain moment in the preparation using reloading of snapshots
- Inspect and review their preparation using virtual inspection tools not available in real practice
- Assess their own work using self assessment rubrics
- Compare their preparation against self made the treatment plan drawings
