The study reflects the current trends in the digital format of educational technology in dentistry, which is a new paradigm in the training of medical personnel. The new-generation dental simulator is presented as an innovation in the educational process. The authors propose technically combining the accumulated positive solutions in this area using a single hardware and software environment, i.e., an anthropomorphic robot, whose hardware platform is expanded with additional specialized sensors and actuators. To increase the practical competencies of dental students and dentists when honing practical skills, the use of a dental simulator based on a robotic complex in the educational process is the most optimal way by creating a fully functional anthropomorphic dental robot, especially with integrated modules Smart-Jaw and Smart Teeth and supporting the communicative function through artificial intelligence. Currently, a fully functional prototype of the anthropomorphic robot simulator Promobot-Ct with a set of educational cases has been utilized, which is used to train dentists at Perm State Medical University, which was named after Academician E.A. Vagner.
