Computer-based surgical simulation promises to provide a broader scope of clinical training through the introduction of anatomic variation, simulation of untoward events, and collection of performance data. We present a haptically-enabled surgical simulator for the most common techniques in diagnostic and operative hysteroscopycervical dilation, endometrial resection and ablation, and lesion ex...

dental abscess is a frequently occurring infectious process known to the health practice. the fate of the infection depends on the virulence of the bacteria, host resistance factors, and regional anatomy. serious consequences arising from the spread of a dental abscess lead to significant morbidity and mortality. acute dental abscess is polymicrobial, comprising of strict anaerobes, such as ana...
