About
Ayumi Kurihara is a researcher in orthodontic education and simulation-based training, with a focus on integrating robotics into clinical skill development. Her most notable contribution is the pioneering study "The utility of a patient robot in orthodontic practice" (2016), which investigated the use of a patient robot for orthodontic bonding practice. This work demonstrated the potential of simulation education to enhance clinical skills and risk management in orthodontics, bridging the gap between theoretical learning and real-world practice. Although her citation count is modest (2 citations for this paper), her research represents an early exploration of robotic simulation in dental education, a field that has since gained traction. Kurihara’s work underscores the importance of innovative teaching tools in orthodontics, offering a foundation for future studies on patient robots in clinical training. Her contributions are particularly valuable for educators and researchers seeking to improve hands-on learning outcomes in dental medicine.
