“…We identified 101 articles related the broad application of virtual reality in dentistry and oral & maxillofacial surgery. These were subdivided as follows; Eight systematic reviews [7][8][9][10][11][12][13], (Table 1), 4 expert reviews, 9 case reports, 5 retrospective surveys, 2 historical perspectives, 13 manuscripts on virtual education and training, 5 on haptic technology, 4 on augmented reality, 10 on image fusion, 41 articles on the prediction planning for orthognathic surgery and maxillofacial reconstruction. The results will be presented under two main categories, clinical applications and surgical training.…”

Background: Virtual reality is the science of creating a virtual environment for the assessment of various anatomical regions of the body for the diagnosis, planning and surgical training. Augmented reality is the superimposition of a 3D real environment specific to individual patient onto the surgical filed using semi-transparent glasses to augment the virtual scene.. The aim of this study is to provide an over view of the literature on the application of virtual and augmented reality in oral & maxillofacial surgery. Methods: We reviewed the literature and the existing database using Ovid MEDLINE search, Cochran Library and PubMed. All the studies in the English literature in the last 10 years, from 2009 to 2019 were included. Results: We identified 101 articles related the broad application of virtual reality in oral & maxillofacial surgery. These included the following: Eight systematic reviews, 4 expert reviews, 9 case reports, 5 retrospective surveys, 2 historical perspectives, 13 manuscripts on virtual education and training, 5 on haptic technology, 4 on augmented reality, 10 on image fusion, 41 articles on the prediction planning for orthognathic surgery and maxillofacial reconstruction. Dental implantology and orthognathic surgery are the most frequent applications of virtual reality and augmented reality. Virtual planning improved the accuracy of inserting dental implants using either a statistic guidance or dynamic navigation. In orthognathic surgery, prediction planning and intraoperative navigation are the main applications of virtual reality. Virtual reality has been utilised to improve the delivery of education and the quality of training in oral & maxillofacial surgery by creating a virtual environment of the surgical procedure. Haptic feedback provided an additional immersive reality to improve manual dexterity and improve clinical training. Conclusion: Virtual and augmented reality have contributed to the planning of maxillofacial procedures and surgery training. Few articles highlighted the importance of this technology in improving the quality of patients' care. There are limited prospective randomized studies comparing the impact of virtual reality with the standard methods in delivering oral surgery education.

“…The interaction between the virtual object and reality could accurately be expressed via the haptic system, which was an essential step in enhancing the sense of presence and immersion in VR applications . Therefore, future investigations will involve an updated Virtual Educational System for Dentistry with a haptic‐enhanced VRS system (Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai, China) …”

Objectives The aim was to evaluate the effectiveness of a pre‐clinical training of ceramic crown preparation using the Virtual Educational System for Dentistry. Material and Methods Fifty‐seven dental students were recruited to prepare a ceramic crown under the guidance of the Real‐time Dental Training and Evaluation System (RDTES) in order to collect pre‐learning data. They participated in the online virtual learning course independently on the Virtual Learning Network Platform (VLNP). One week later, the students were invited to complete their post‐learning crown preparation with the RDTES. A questionnaire survey explored students' perceived benefits or drawbacks of the virtual educational system. Students were allocated into Group A (n = 15), B (n = 24) and C (n = 18) based on their pre‐learning performance. Differences of assessment results amongst different groups were evaluated by ANOVA and Kruskal‐Wallis tests. The pre‐ and post‐learning assessment results in all groups were compared using paired t tests or Wilcoxon signed rank tests. Results The error scores for four assessment items (instrument selection, preparation section, preparation reduction, preparation surface and profile) and total score of outcome assessment after the virtual learning were significantly different with those before the virtual learning (P < 0.05). There were significant interactions between time and student group in the mean scores of process and outcome assessments (P < 0.001), except for the assessment item “damage of adjacent teeth.” Conclusion The application of a Virtual Educational System for Dentistry with the VLNP and RDTES in pre‐clinical operative training helps students improve their clinical skills.

“…Thus, they substantially rely on the tactile sensing [ 30 ] as well as tactile feedback (e.g., using actuators in tactile displays) to explore and manipulate objects around them [ 6 , 7 , 31 ]. Similarly, combination of tactile sensing [ 32 ] and tactile feedback is needed in areas such as minimal invasive surgery [ 2 , 5 ] and virtual reality [ 33 , 34 ] to improve the user’s haptic interaction experience. Therefore, a tactile display with an inherent ability to provide touch feeling as well as the vibrotactile feedback within these limits would be advantageous.…”

This paper presents a dual-function wearable device (Tacsac) with capacitive tactile sensing and integrated tactile feedback capability to enable communication among deafblind people. Tacsac has a skin contactor which enhances localized vibrotactile stimulation of the skin as a means of feedback to the user. It comprises two main modules—the touch-sensing module and the vibrotactile module; both stacked and integrated as a single device. The vibrotactile module is an electromagnetic actuator that employs a flexible coil and a permanent magnet assembled in soft poly (dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS), while the touch-sensing module is a planar capacitive metal-insulator-metal (MIM) structure. The flexible coil was fabricated on a 50 µm polyimide (PI) sheet using Lithographie Galvanoformung Abformung (LIGA) micromoulding technique. The Tacsac device has been tested for independent sensing and actuation as well as dual sensing-actuation mode. The measured vibration profiles of the actuator showed a synchronous response to external stimulus for a wide range of frequencies (10 Hz to 200 Hz) within the perceivable tactile frequency thresholds of the human hand. The resonance vibration frequency of the actuator is in the range of 60–70 Hz with an observed maximum off-plane displacement of 0.377 mm at coil current of 180 mA. The capacitive touch-sensitive layer was able to respond to touch with minimal noise both when actuator vibration is ON and OFF. A mobile application was also developed to demonstrate the application of Tacsac for communication between deafblind person wearing the device and a mobile phone user who is not deafblind. This advances existing tactile displays by providing efficient two-way communication through the use of a single device for both localized haptic feedback and touch-sensing.
