Abstract:
The maxillofacial orthopedics surgery is aimed to help patients reconstruct three-dimensional structure and restore original function. The anatomical structures involved in this surgery are complicated, which requires higher technical requirements for surgeon. Mixed reality (MR) technology realizes in-depth interaction and feedback between the real world, the virtual world and the users by presenting virtual scene information in the real scene, which has the advantages of virtual-reality fusion, real-time interactivity, three-dimensional registration, rapid alignment, etc. It can be used for pre-operative planning and intra-operative navigation, which can improve the accuracy and safety of surgery, reduce the occurrence of postoperative complications.At the same time, MR technology can reduce the requirements for the surgeon’s surgical experience and skills. As a result, the MR technology has a broader application prospect in the field of maxillofacial orthopedics. The manuscript summarized the characteristics of MR technology, introduced the application of MR technology in the field of maxillofacial orthopedics. It also put forward the urgent problems and future development direction of MR technology in clinical application.
