About
Yoshizo Matsuka is a leading researcher in dental education and clinical simulation, whose work has significantly advanced the training of dental professionals. His primary research areas include the development and evaluation of high-fidelity patient simulation systems, particularly the SIMROID full-body robot patient, and their impact on clinical attitude formation in dental students. His most-cited study (43 citations) demonstrated the superior effectiveness of SIMROID over traditional mannequins in improving students’ clinical attitudes, marking a pivotal contribution to simulation-based pedagogy. This work has helped establish a new standard for immersive, realistic training environments that bridge the gap between preclinical learning and real patient care. Beyond this landmark paper, Matsuka’s research portfolio encompasses haptic feedback systems, patient communication skills, and the integration of robotics into dental curricula. His achievements include pioneering the use of lifelike robotic patients that can simulate physiological responses, thereby enhancing diagnostic and interpersonal skill development. With a growing citation impact, Matsuka’s innovations continue to shape how dental students worldwide prepare for clinical practice, making him a key figure in modern dental education.
