Abstract

Dental education is undergoing a digital transformation, yet the adoption of immersive technologies suchas haptic virtual reality (HVR) remains limited. This study aimed to map global adoption trends, barriers, and opportunities forequitable integration of HVR in dental curricula. Immersive technologies remain underutilized in dental education, particularly at the postgraduate level, creatingpotential gaps in clinical preparedness. Strategic integration, collaboration, and sustainability-focused adoption may enhanceequity and clinical readiness, informing accreditation and policy reforms.
