Abstract Objective: To give full play to students’ initiative and deepen their understanding of orthodontic knowledge by breaking the time and space constraints of traditional orthodontic classroom teaching in combination of virtual simulation diagnosis and treatment experiment with orthodontic teaching, and to explore its teaching effect. Methods: The convex virtual simulation diagnosis and treatment experiment with real case was developed,and the virtual simulation experiment teaching platform of orthodontics was constructed. Students of Year 2017 majoring in stomatology of Wenzhou Medical University were selected as subjects, of whom the students of
Class 1, the experimental group, were combined with the virtual simulation diagnosis and treatment experiment,while the students of Class 2, the control group, were not given the virtual simulation diagnosis and treatment experiment. Then the teaching effect was evaluated from the application feedback and students’ knowledge and
ability. Results: After the application of virtual simulation diagnosis and treatment experiment in the teaching of Orthodontics, the average score of students’ final examination score (88.87±4.58) was higher than that of the control group (85.46±4.37), and the difference was statistically significant (P=0.002). The teaching feedback
showed that the experimental group felt they understood what they’ve learned more thoroughly, with higher recognition of virtual simulation diagnosis and treatment experiment, and thus started to establish a correctorthodontic conception. Conclusion: A combination of virtual simulation diagnosis and treatment experiment with the teaching of Orthodontics makes the teaching process more intuitive and visual, which can deepen students’ understanding of orthodontic theoretical knowledge and improve students’ clinical thinking and skills in diagnosis and treatment. Through the network feedback platform and network homework evaluation, teachers can keep informed of students’ progress and problems, which in turn help teachers to better solve their problems and improve the teaching level of orthodontics more effectively.
