Virtual reality(VR) technology has been developing rapidly in recent years. VR has been widely applied in the medical field. A VR dental training system(VRDT) establishes a virtual simulation environment by integrating mechanical and visual display, and reproduces the feeling and information of dental operation on real teeth. The application of VRDT in dental operation training will improve training on the haptic perception and operating skills. VRDT is a highly promising dental educational tool for future applications.
