About
Dr. Susumu Abe is a pioneering researcher in dental education and simulation technology, with a primary focus on enhancing clinical training through innovative patient simulation systems. His most cited work, "Educational effects using a robot patient simulation system for development of clinical attitude" (2017, 43 citations), demonstrates his major contribution: evaluating the effectiveness of the full-body robot patient simulation system SIMROID against traditional mannequins like CLINSIM. This research has significantly advanced dental pedagogy by providing evidence that high-fidelity robotic simulators can improve students' clinical attitudes and preparedness. Dr. Abe’s work bridges engineering and dentistry, offering a more realistic, interactive learning environment that better prepares students for real patient interactions. His findings have influenced curriculum design in dental schools, emphasizing the value of immersive simulation. With 43 citations, this study remains a key reference for educators seeking to integrate advanced technology into clinical training. Dr. Abe’s research continues to shape how future dental professionals develop essential hands-on skills and patient-centered attitudes.
