Reviewer 3 Report

Comments and Suggestions for Authors

This manuscript entitled Implementation of Virtual Reality in Preclinical Pediatric Dentistry Learning: A Comparison Between Simodont® and Conventional Methods is very interesting and could be of significant importance in the future due to the implementation of new methods in the learning process.

Although I find this article valuable, I would like to suggest some changes:

1. Table 6 and Figure 4 present the same information, so one of them should be deleted. I suggest removing Figure 4.

2. It is unclear why the authors used Kendall’s Tau and Spearman’s correlation in Table 5. Could the authors clarify the rationale for using both methods?

3. Please add the limitations of the study.

4. In my opinion, Figure 1 and Figure 2 are unnecessary. Please consider removing them, or placing them at the end of the article as supplementary files.

Please change the reference citation according to the Dentistry guidelines
