Haptic Simulation System development for Dental Implanation
There are half million dentists in the world and 20,000 dentists in Korea. One of the typical operation among dentist is implantation. The 10% of the dentist in U.S.A. and 70% of dentist in Korea conduct implantation. However many problems are occurred in Korea because many dentists in Korea learn this operation skill from private research center rather than authorized institute like U.S.A. This research develops system of implantation education for dentist using Haptic simulation system to solve such a problem. This system improves education effectiveness through experiencing overall operation procedure and eyes, which expect to lead us 4D virtual reality and provide safe method for patient.
