ABSTRACT

Advances in technology have a profound impact on the fields of medicine and dentistry as in all sectors. virtual Reality (vR) and Augmented Reality (AR) are emerging technologies that are having a signifi cant impact on the field of dentistry. vR provides an immersive, computersimulated reality that allows dental professionals and students to interact with a virtual clinical environment, while AR enriches the realworld environment with additional digital information and visuals. These technologies assist dental professionals and dental students in dental education, training, and treatment. In this section, the potential applications, challenges, and limitations of vR and AR in dentistry are examined in detail.
