Learning Experience

The Dental Suite supports dental assistant students with a variety of 3D experiences for lifelike dental training.

The Leopoly Dental Suite is a hardware and software training platform with multiple tailor-made educational modules for both high school students and dental assisting programs.

The zSpace experience will support high school and dental assistant students’ learning and interests with a variety of 3D experiences. The training solution will invite students to examine relevant virtual body structures, learn about dental terminologies, oral diseases, dental procedures and more.

Modules

Leopoly Dental Module 2 - Permanent teeth (Types, codes and surfaces)

In this module, we will take the permanent (adult) dentition and demonstrate the most important classifications, terminologies and the most commonly used numbering systems on them. Specifically, students will learn about the following:

• Permanent mandibular and maxillary teeth
• Permanent teeth classification: Incisors, canines, premolars, molars

Leopoly Dental Module 3 - Deciduous teeth (Types, codes and eruption pattern)

We have covered the permanent dentition stage in Module 2. Now let’s explore the primary and the mixed dentition stages. Specifically, students will learn about the following:

• Deciduous mandibular and maxillary teeth
• Similarities and differences between the permanent and deciduous teeth
• Eruption patterns
  • Eruption times (deciduous teeth)
  • Shedding times (both permanent and deciduous teeth)
• Recognizing certain teeth types on a panoramic dental x-ray image (mixed dentition)
• Notion systems (for the deciduous teeth)

Leopoly Dental Module 4 - Dental restoration (Oral hygiene, dental filling procedure)

In this module, we will learn about dental caries, oral hygiene and perform a typical direct tooth restoration procedure together. Specifically, students will learn about the following:

• Tooth decay
• Causes and prevention of tooth decay
• Dental fillings (composite vs amalgam, direct vs indirect restoration technique)
• Step by step procedure of a typical direct tooth restoration procedure
