Abstract:
Owing to complex surgical planning and procedures, orthognathic surgery requires surgeons to possess a high level of clinical expertise. However, traditional teaching methods are difficult to meet the requirements for complex training on orthognathic surgical planning and operation. Virtual reality (VR) technology provides a new solution, but it is limited by problems like imprecise modeling, complex surgical design, single-simulated surgical contents, inability to integrate real time and simulation, and a lack of automatic evaluation function. Artificial intelligence (AI) is potent in data mining and image processing, which can address the limitations of traditional VR teaching, bringing multiple potential for clinical and educational application in orthognathic surgery. With research in personalized model construction, intelligent diagnostics, post-operative prediction, virtual surgical simulation, and personalized feedback and guidance, the fusion of "VR plus AI" holds promise for advancing orthognathic surgical teaching in a more precise and efficient direction, promoting the integration of medicine and technology, and speeding up the transformation of clinical applications.
