    Virtual surgery systems enhance surgical training by providing realistic environments with haptic feedback for improved skill acquisition.

  • 2

    Mechanical properties of maxillofacial tissues are crucial for developing accurate deformation models in virtual surgical simulations.

  • 3

    Soft tissues exhibit complex characteristics, making it challenging to create precise mathematical models for surgical simulations.

  • 4

    The study measured biomechanical properties of hard tissues and recorded insertion and cutting forces for soft tissues to improve haptic feedback.
