Abstract

Augmented Reality (AR) and Mixed Reality (MR) are cutting-edge technologies that are substantially impacting digital dentistry. These innovations not only propel dentistry into the digital age, but also introduce novel, non-invasive, and immersive treatment methodologies. This review collates and summarizes the latest developments and applications of AR and MR in digital dentistry. In contemporary practice, digital information, such as CT scans, is predominantly used for presurgical verification. However, integrating patients digital 3D information into real-world environments through AR and MR allows dental professionals to visualize diagnostic and therapeutic data using a Head-Mounted Display (HMD). This integration enhances not only efficiency and safety, but also elevates surgical training. Despite these benefits, further enhancements are required for these technologies to achieve broader acceptance in clinical dentistry. In this review, we have dedicated a separate section discussing the prospective applications and future directions of AR and MR, including optimizing HMD technology, developing intraoperative feedback navigation technology, advancing human-machine interaction (HMI) technology, and improving soft-tissue visualization technology. The literature suggests that AR and MR applications are particularly advantageous in dentistry, despite some limitations. With ongoing developments in areas such as haptics and robotics, it is expected that AR and MR will become increasingly integral to dental practices in the near future.
牙科中的 AR 和 MR:发展、应用和前景
增强现实(AR)和混合现实(MR)是对数字牙科产生重大影响的尖端技术。这些创新不仅推动牙科进入数字时代,而且还引入了新颖、无创和沉浸式的治疗方法。本文整理和总结了AR和MR在数字牙科中的最新发展和应用。在当代实践中,数字信息,如CT扫描,主要用于术前验证。然而,通过AR和MR将患者的数字3D信息整合到现实环境中,牙科专业人员可以使用头戴式显示器(HMD)可视化诊断和治疗数据。这种整合不仅提高了效率和安全性,而且提高了外科培训水平。尽管有这些好处,但这些技术要在临床牙科中得到更广泛的接受,还需要进一步的改进。在这篇综述中,我们专门用一个单独的章节讨论了AR和MR的应用前景和未来方向,包括优化HMD技术,开发术中反馈导航技术,推进人机交互(HMI)技术,改进软组织可视化技术。文献表明,尽管存在一些局限性,但AR和MR应用在牙科领域尤其有利。随着触觉和机器人技术等领域的不断发展,预计在不久的将来,AR和MR将越来越成为牙科实践的一部分。
