ABSTRACT Background While preclinical (PC) training has historically been delivered through traditional methods, haptic virtual reality simulation (HVRS) has emerged as an increasingly popular alternative. Aim This study aimed to evaluate the differences in the performance of third‐year dental students between traditional PC and HVRS in pulpotomy, pulpectomy, and stainless steel crown (SSC) placement. Furthermore, the study purposed to identify the more convenient educational approach for improving student performance in dental procedures, based on evaluations conducted by a pediatric dentist (PD). Design The study consisted of a total of 28 questions. Students' experiences, responses, and performances across both environments were analyzed. The relationship between these performances was evaluated by a PD. A p ‐value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
