Resumo
INTRODUÇÃO: o desenvolvimento de ferramentas tecnológicas como o Metaverso, que utiliza como base os conceitos de Realidade Estendida, Realidade Aumentada e Realidade Virtual, tem mostrado um grande potencial no aprimoramento da educação na área da saúde e Odontologia. Por se tratar de um ambiente virtual onde os usuários são capazes de interagir e criar experiências imersivas, os estudantes têm acesso a práticas que, antes, só eram capazes em laboratório ou clínica. OBJETIVO: o objetivo deste Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso é abordar e analisar os benefícios e desafios do uso do Metaverso na educação e ensino da Odontologia e, além disso, apresentar ferramentas já desenvolvidas que colaboram tanto com o ensino de novos alunos, quanto com o dia a dia de profissionais da área. METODOLOGIA: para abordar o tema, diversos artigos relacionados ao Metaverso foram revisados e alguns exemplos de plataformas já utilizadas foram apresentadas, sendo uma delas desenvolvida por alunos do Centro Universitário Ritter dos Reis (UniRitter). REVISÃO DE LITERATURA: antes de entender o que é o Metaverso e quais suas aplicações na área da Odontologia, precisa-se compreender três conceitos básicos: Realidade Estendida, Realidade Virtual e Realidade Aumentada. A aplicação dessas tecnologias possibilita o desenvolvimento de um ambiente virtual baseado em Metaverso, que se tratando de Odontologia, pode trazer inúmeros acréscimos, tanto em sala de aula, quanto no atendimento aos pacientes. Alguns exemplos de plataformas que se baseiam em tais tecnologias são o Pulp Cavity – um filtro que escaneia as imagens tomográficas de canais radiculares em 2D, converte para 3D e possibilita com que os usuários visualizem todas as estruturas com todos os detalhes e por todos os ângulos; o Voxel-Man Dental – um simulador que utiliza Realidade Virtual e possibilita aos usuários praticar alguns casos simulados; o Projeto Vida Odonto, da USP, que atualmente possibilita aos alunos de Odontologia praticar, em específico, a técnica de anestesia do nervo alveolar inferior; e o ambiente virtual baseado em Metaverso desenvolvido em conjunto entre professores e alunos dos cursos de Tecnologia da Informação e Odontologia, da UniRitter – que possibilita que o estudante analise e interaja com diversos instrumentais odontológicos, diversos dentes com diferentes graus de desenvolvimento de cárie e, ainda, realize um procedimento de remoção de cárie e restauração com resina composta. CONSIDERAÇÕES FINAIS: entende-se que novas tecnologias digitais transformam a Odontologia no ensino e na prática clínica, embora a maioria ainda esteja em fase experimental. As pesquisas futuras devem aprimorar tais ferramentas a fim de aperfeiçoar o ensino e o cuidado com os pacientes.
INTRODUCTION: the development of technological tools such as the Metaverse, which is based on the concepts of Extended Reality, Augmented Reality, and Virtual Reality, has shown great potential in enhancing education in the field of healthcare and Dentistry. By creating a virtual environment where users can interact and experience immersive scenarios, students now have access to practices that were previously only possible in laboratories or clinics. OBJECTIVE: the objective of this Final Course Project is to address and analyze the benefits and challenges of using the Metaverse in dental education and teaching, as well as to present already developed tools that contribute to both the education of new students and the daily work of professionals in the field. METHODOLOGY: to address the topic, several articles related to the Metaverse were reviewed, and examples of already used platforms were presented, including one developed by students from the University Center Ritter dos Reis (UniRitter). REVIEW: before understanding what the Metaverse is and its applications in Dentistry, it is necessary to comprehend three basic concepts: Extended Reality, Virtual Reality, and Augmented Reality. The application of these technologies enables the development of a virtual environment based on the Metaverse, which, in the context of Dentistry, can bring numerous advantages both in the classroom and in patient care. Some examples of platforms based on these technologies include Pulp Cavity, a filter that scans 2D tomographic images of root canals, converts them into 3D, and allows users to visualize all structures in detail and from various angles. Another example is Voxel-Man Dental, a simulator that utilizes Virtual Reality and enables users to practice simulated cases. The Vida Odonto Project at USP allows dentistry students to practice the technique of inferior alveolar nerve anesthesia. Additionally, the virtual environment based on the Metaverse, developed collaboratively by IT and Dentistry professors and students at UniRitter, enables students to analyze and interact with various dental instruments, different teeth with varying degrees of dental caries, and even perform a cavity removal and composite restoration procedure. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: it is understood that new digital technologies are transforming dental education and clinical practice, although most of them are still in the experimental phase. Future research should aim to improve such tools to enhance teaching and patient care.
