The objective of this study was to investigate, through a literature review, the use of virtual reality in the teaching-learning process of undergraduate Dentistry. This is an integrative literature review study, with high sensitivity searches, carried out in the Medline (PubMed), EMBASE (Elsevier), Cochrane Library and Virtual Health Library databases, using descriptors related to virtual reality, teaching in Dentistry and education, with related terms retrieved from MeSH, DeCS and Emtree. The search was carried out in May 2022 for clinical trials in Portuguese, English or Spanish. After evaluation using the established inclusion and exclusion criteria, 14 clinical trials, published between 2004 and 2021 in English, were included. The most tested purposes of virtual reality technologies were for cavity preparations for caries removal (n=7) and in theoretical teaching (n=2). Regarding participant assessment instruments, the practical assessment of manual dexterity was the most used (n=9). The most recurrent limitations (n=6) were deficiencies in the evaluation or evaluation methods of the studies. Thus, it is concluded that the use of virtual reality in the area of Dentistry has the potential to improve technical skills and complement the teaching of theoretical subjects in undergraduate courses. Considering this potential, it is suggested that more studies be carried out to improve the effectiveness and applicability of virtual reality in undergraduate studies.
