Leonardo simulator

One of the GEOTAR software products is a hybrid dental simulator Leonardo. This simulator is designed for training and accreditation in the field of dentistry, as well as for the automation of the educational process. The device allows to conduct trainings on dental practice, reproducing real conditions of patients' treatment and exactly imitating the work on dental unit. Leonardo" simulator makes it possible to conduct training sessions on application of local anesthesia, caries treatment of all types, teeth trimming in orthodontics (inlays, veneers, crowns, bridges), as well as free preparation.

The machine also includes "X-ray", a tool that allows you to take a picture of the teeth of the working jaw. The computer control of all operations allows an objective assessment of the work and makes it possible to view the entire preparation process in computer graphics and synchronous video recording from the camera installed. It is also possible to practice tooth extraction techniques on the device (without computer control).

Microsensors monitor the performance of interventions with real-time visualisation on the virtual model. Mobile dental unit allows you to practice manipulations on a real jaw model.

Unique software shows real instrument positions on a 3D model of the jaw and tracks accuracy using electromagnetic tracking technology. The software includes a function for downloading clinical cases, allowing you to study real cases from medical practice and conduct training on them. The interface is in English and Russian and can be easily localised into other languages.

Training simulators "Leonardo" installed in one educational institution can be connected to the local network which allows to broadcast the lesson and the video stream of the manipulations performed from the teacher's workplace to the students' workplaces and back.
