A Virtual Reality Tooth Drilling Simulator
نویسندگان
چکیده
A virtual teeth drilling system whose basic aim is to be used for the training of dental students in the handling of drilling instruments is presented in this paper. A 3D model of the face and the oral cavity is utilized by the application. This model can be adapted to the characteristics of a specific person and animated. Drilling is performed within the oral cavity, on realistic teeth models constructed from real data. A haptic device can be used to control the drilling operation. Results as well as intermediate steps of the drilling procedure can be saved for future use.

Six Degree-of Freedom Haptic Rendering for Dental Implantology Simulation
Training systems for dental implantology that are based on virtual reality need a precise haptic feedback with six Degrees of Freedom (6DoF) This is particularly challenging when using real patient data for the jawbone and during the interactive simulation of drilling. In this paper, we present our simulator and two complementary contributions: The first one is a method for 6DoF haptic renderin...
متن کاملRecognizing Clinical Styles in a Dental Surgery Simulator
Recognizing clinical style is essential for generating intelligent guidance in virtual reality simulators for dental skill acquisition. The aim of this study was to determine the potential of Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) in matching novices' tooth cutting sequences with those of experts. Forty dental students and four expert dentists were enrolled to perform access opening to the root canals with...

This report concludes that there is great scope for expansion of the simulation facilities so far developed. In particular, it is recognised that training and competency testing of teams of personnel such as the banksman and supply ship's master could be integrated into crane simulator training scenarios and that this approach offers great potential for reducing the number of crane related acci...
متن کاملA virtual reality simulator for teaching and evaluating dental procedures.
OBJECTIVES We present a dental training system with a haptic interface that allows dental students or experts to practice dental procedures in a virtual environment. The simulator is able to monitor and classify the performance of an operator into novice or expert categories. The intelligent training module allows a student to simultaneously and proactively follow the correct dental procedures ...
متن کاملAccess cavity preparation training using haptic virtual reality and microcomputed tomography tooth models.
AIM To evaluate the effectiveness of haptic virtual reality (VR) simulator training using microcomputed tomography (micro-CT) tooth models on minimizing procedural errors in endodontic access preparation. METHODOLOGY Fourth year dental students underwent a pre-training assessment of access cavity preparation on an extracted maxillary molar tooth mounted on a phantom head. Students were then r...
