This research article advocates for the use of mixed reality (MR) technology, specifically HoloLens, in dental education. The authors highlight MR's ability to create immersive learning experiences by combining virtual and real-world elements, surpassing traditional teaching methods. A key example is the "Jaws-in-Motion" project, an interactive AR program visualizing complex head and neck anatomy and jaw movements. The study suggests that MR significantly enhances students' understanding of anatomical structures and their functional relationships, improving learning outcomes in dental education. The authors conclude that MR technology bridges the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application.
