Dental treatment training apparatus and dental treatment training system
A dental treatment training apparatus allows practice of complex treatments involving high accuracy and skill levels. A dental treatment training apparatus for providing a simulated treatment in which a treatment instrument is applied onto a tooth model includes a display unit that displays, in a superimposed manner, 3D image information based on predefined 3D information about the tooth model and the treatment instrument on a 3D view image, a position detector that detects 3D positional information about the tooth model, the treatment instrument, and the display unit, and a control unit that causes the display unit to display, in a superimposed manner, 3D image information corresponding to an item selected on a superimposed selection operation display for allowing selection of an item associated with the simulated treatment based on the 3D positional information detected by the position detector.
1. A dental treatment training apparatus for providing a simulated treatment in which a treatment instrument is applied onto a dental model, the apparatus comprising:
a display unit configured to display, in a superimposed manner in a field of view of a trainee, image information based on predefined 3D information about the dental model and the treatment instrument;
a 3D position detector configured to detect 3D positional information about the dental model, the treatment instrument, and the display unit;
a selection unit configured to receive selection of an item associated with the simulated treatment; and
a display control unit configured to cause the display unit to display, in a superimposed manner, image information about at least an invisible portion of the dental model and the treatment instrument corresponding to the item selected with the selection unit based on the 3D positional information detected by the 3D position detector,
wherein:
the selection unit includes an instrument selection unit for selecting the medical instrument to be used is provided;
the display control unit causes the display unit to display, in a superimposed manner, an application state of the treatment instrument onto the dental model during the simulated treatment;
the treatment instrument is a cutting instrument to cut the dental model, and
the display unit displays, in a superimposed manner, a state indication image indicating the application state of the treatment instrument to indicate a relative position of a tip of the cutting instrument relative to a preset cutting end point in the dental model to be cut with the cutting instrument; and
the state indication image is a circular indicator in which reference lines in a first direction and a second direction when a center of a hole provided in the dental model is viewed from a vertical direction are provided in a cross shape and centered at an intersection point of the cross shape which is the center of the hole, the circular indicator includes a cutting instrument point indicating a planar position near a proximal end of the cutting instrument, displaying a tip of the cutting instrument concentrically disposed with the circular indicator and a circular tip position indicating ring indicative of a residual distance in a depth direction from the tip of the hole.
2. The dental treatment training apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein
the predefined 3D information about the dental model includes 3D information about an inside of the dental model.
3. The dental treatment training apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein
the selection unit includes
a treatment selection unit configured to receive selection of a simulated treatment to be performed, and
the display control unit displays, in a superimposed manner, predefined 3D information about the dental model corresponding to the simulated treatment selected with the treatment selection unit and predefined 3D information about the treatment instrument selected with the instrument selection unit.
4. The dental treatment training apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein
the selection unit includes
a patient selection unit configured to receive selection of an item from a plurality of simulated patient information items each including preset treatment information items about a simulated patient, and
a preset treatment information selection unit configured to receive selection of a preset treatment information item associated with the simulated treatment from the preset treatment information items included in the simulated patient information item selected with the patient selection unit, and
the display control unit displays, in a superimposed manner, the preset treatment information item selected with the preset treatment information selection unit.
5. A dental treatment training system, comprising:
the dental treatment training apparatus according to claim 1 ; and
a manikin patient body including at least a head having an oral cavity in which the dental model is mounted in a replaceable manner.
