One of the main factors on which a modern higher medical educational institution should be guided into is a significant strengthening of the practical aspect of the educational process of future dentists, while maintaining the proper level of theoretical knowledge.
The work of a dental student using an indirect view is the use of a dental mirror to inspect the surfaces of the tooth, which are difficult to access and visually examine. The urgency of working out the practical skills with the help of the proposed dental simulator and supplied with proposed corresponding tasks in mirror image is indisputable. The simulator allows dental students to improve their manual skills working in the dental mirror, which is further undoubtedly important, when working with a dental instruments and a dental microscope. The female students can more accurately and qualitatively perform tasks than boys, which is probably due to more frequent contact with the mirror at home conditions.
