METHODS FOR CONDUCTING GUIDED ORAL AND MAXILLOFACIAL PROCEDURES, AND ASSOCIATED SYSTEM

摘要

Methods and associated systems for performing object-related surgeries involve a secure and physical interaction established between a fiducial device and a site having an associated object to form a fiducial marker. A virtual plan is created, detailing the operation on the subject at the site, and registered with respect to the fiducial marker as the fiducial marker. Movement of the surgical performance device is physically regulated by the guide device in response to the controller device relative to the fiducial marker. The guide device physically adjusts the movement of the surgery performing device in response to the physical manipulation of the surgery performing device by the user according to the virtual plan and the movement of the surgery performing device to perform the surgery. Tactile feedback is provided to the user through the surgical performing device when the physical manipulation by the user causes the surgical performing device to deviate from the virtual plan.
