| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The technical skills required for the dentist involve a certain difficult factor that cannot explain with words or figures. Generally, the dentists apply a suitable force to the patient or affected teeth during procedure. The control of force acceleration concerning dental practices or diagnosis (the dental force) are important for the dentists to get the successful results. However, there are no effective teaching methods for the dental force although it is essential for reliable dental treatments. The purpose of this study was to investigate the differences of the dental force between experienced dentists and dental trainees or students. The individual dental force were measured by the developed devices during they practiced to the dental simulator. As the result, the dental forces applied by dentists were significantly differ from dental trainees and students. It was suggested that the device might be a useful teaching tool to learn the suitable dental forces.
