DenTeach™

DenTeach™ is an advanced teaching-learning platform that complements traditional methods by utilizing Industry 4.0 technology, seamlessly integrating and synchronizing VAF and patient's posture between the instructor and the student in real-time by using our DT-Rightway™ Dental Articulator technology. DT-PrepScanner™ allows students and instructors to automatically measure required dimensions of a dental prep.

Workstation

The DenTeach™ student workstation comes with our own specially designed drill that synchronizes with the forces and vibrations of the instructor's drill, allowing for students to experience exactly what the instructor was doing through visual, audio, feel, and posture cues.

360° View

DenTeach™ will allow students to get a 360-degree view of the instructor's actions using 4 separate integrated cameras letting students always see the actions of the instructor.

The Compact Design

Allows students to take their DenTeach™ workstations home with them and increasing the convenience of finding time to practice different real-world scenarios.

DT-PrepScanner™


High-Accuracy Prep Measurement

Giving students access a high-accurate and high-quality prep grader by means of a robotic platform.

VR-Based Rendering

Automatic measurement of the dimension and angles of a dental prep and visualizing the 3D and 2D models using an interactive graphical user interface (GUI).

Quantitative Feedback

Receiving immediate feedback on a dental prep, 24/7 with an accuracy of 20 microns.

24/7 Access To Course Sessions

Enabling dental instructors to have all students in a virtual classroom or pre-clinical laboratory and take attendance.

AR-Based Video Integration

Switching between the 4 video feeds to better understand the tool handling and the way a task should be done, while an augmented reality feature helps to correct their posture.

Self-Grading

Allowing each student to automatically scan their dental prep and visualize their work in a VR environment.

DT-Instructor™


Accurate Grading

The DenTeach™ instructor workstation can take the information gathered by students actions and translate it into quantifiable data that is easily gradable.

Pre-Record Lessons

Instructors can pre-record their lessons so that students can practice on their workstations at home.

Make Corrections

Real-time quantitative data will allow you to better understand how to correct inefficient movements.
