Abstract: Objective: This paper introduces a training assessment and scoring system that uses SIMROID robot’s human-computer interaction function to model the reception process, and completes the preliminary evaluation by means of questionnaire. Methods: Based on the extraction of retained incisors under local infiltration anesthesia in a 6-year-old child, a human-computer interaction doctor-patient communication and behavior management script was compiled, and the robot’s response and corresponding head and hand movements were introduced into the SIMROID robot. After traditional teaching in the classroom to explain the doctor-patient communication and behavior management of pediatric stomatology, 82 fourth-year medical students of the Stomatology of Peking University were randomly divided into robot group (experimental group) and peer practice group (control group), and then the two groups were exchanged. At the end of the internship, students fill out a questionnaire to evaluate the two teaching modes. Results: Students believed that there was still a certain gap between the appearance of the robot and the real person (P<0.001), but the robot performed better when simulating clinical emergencies (P=0.001), and the use of peer communication was more able to take into account the patient’s pain perception (P=0.001). Conclusion: This project uses SIMROID robot to complete the establishment of ‘standard patient’ during local anesthesia of oral infiltration in children, tries a new way of situational clinical thinking training, doctor-patient communication and behavior management teaching, evaluates the acceptance of students in the new teaching mode and the traditional teaching mode, and lays a foundation for further development and promotion of robot simulation clinical teaching.
