Preliminary study on mechanical characteristics of maxillofacial soft and hard tissues for virtual surgery

ConclusionMechanical properties of hard tissues are relatively stable, which can be applied in virtual surgery system for physical model construction. Insertion model and cutting force for soft tissues are meaningful and applicable and can be utilized to promote the accuracy of response for haptic feedback sensations.
