To answer drawbacks associated with preclinical training on plastic teeth and extracted human teeth ACTA embarked on a quest towards a virtual clinical lab. In collaboration with Moog Inc. an innovative haptic dental training simulator, the Simodont, was developed to improve the methodology of dental education. The simulator utilizes a virtual reality setting allowing students to practice manual dexterity skills. The operation of Simodont is conducted with courseware, providing the educational context of the training. Simodont offers several significant advantages for learning dental procedures. To integrate theory and practice and to place the exercises within a clinical context, virtual patients are presented to the students. Using a virtual patient authoring system teachers are able to easily distribute virtual patients. Further research on the benefits and feasibility of compliance with the MedBiquitous Virtual Patient specification will be done. To conclude, some success factors in educational virtual reality projects are identified.
