The Institute of Odontology and the Swedish Dental Service organisation Region Västra Götalands have made an effort on simulators in dental training, which is highlighted by Tandläkartidningen (article in Swedish; locked plus-material). The simulators, or Simodont as they are called, allows examination of different types of caries using excavation probes and drills, which gives a tactile representation of the feeling in the hands of the student. For example, the simodonts provides the opportunity to create cases at the right level of difficulty, and allows the difficulty to be increase over time. The purpose is to facilitate the clinical training.
