The aim of this study was to clarify the hard-soft tissue relationships of the lower 1/3 of the face in skeletal Class II-hyperdivergent patients compared with those in Class I-normodivergent patients using network analysis.

Development of a maxillofacial virtual surgical system based on biomechanical parameters of facial soft tissue. M Cheng, Y Zhuang, H Zhao et al.

3dMD Customer Research, Multimodal (CT/CBCT), Oral and Maxillofacial, 3dMDhead System

In this study, a physical model of facial soft tissue based on real biomechanical parameters was constructed, and a haptics-enabled virtual surgical system was developed to simulate incision-making process on facial soft tissue and to help maxillofacial surgery training.
