Motion Primitive Recognition in Tooth Removal Surgery

Whilst the extraction of teeth (exodontia) remains one of the oldest and most performed surgeries on earth, very little is understood about the procedure itself. Especially in the area of the required movements, torques and forces to remove specific teeth and how these interact with existing tissue. This knowledge gap has been hypothesized to...

Understanding Tooth Removal Procedures using Feature Engineering and Classification Models

Tooth removal is one of the most performed surgical procedures worldwide. Despite the high amount of tooth removal procedures carried out each year, scientific understanding of these procedures is not present. Knowledge of force and torque behaviour is limited and knowledge about movements has never been subject to scientific research before....

Validation of 3D-printed guidance systems for genioplasties in orthognathic surgery: A retrospective validation study & preparation for a multicenter intervention study

A chin deformity does not rarely accompany dentofacial deformities. A correction of the chin (genioplasty) is sometimes indicated in addition to orthognathic surgery. Computer-assisted surgery allows virtual planning in...
