A First Hand Evaluation of Virtual Reality and Haptics in Dental Surgery

Abstract

Nicholas Theodore

The last 20 years have seen a rise in the use of virtual reality and haptics, two unique human-machine interface technologies, across a variety of industries including healthcare, entertainment, manufacturing, and education. They offer a fresh and inexpensive method, especially for dental surgery simulation and training, allowing dentists to perform procedures as much as they'd like without incurring additional costs. Training can also take place anywhere. The use of virtual reality and haptics for teaching and simulation in dental surgery is thoroughly covered in this study. The investigation of a few novel concepts and current research developments is followed by an introduction to the main research initiatives and their typical systems, a summary of the key research questions that were involved, and a discussion of potential future directions and findings.
