As an integral part of dental practice, oral implant therapy has been accepted worldwide and become increasing important over the past few years. However, the placement of implants is not without risk due to anatomically complex operation sites in the cranio-maxillofacial region. Currently, there is a trend towards computer-aided implant surgery. In this study, a comprehensive preoperative planning and virtual training system is developed on the basis of the force feedback haptic device (Omega.6), immersive workbench (Display 300), and the software toolkit of CHAI3D. With the use of this system, the resulting data of the preoperative planning can be transferred, and surgical simulation of the plan can be vividly realized. In this way, the surgeon can grasp the feeling of osteotomy procedure, gain experience and therefore improve his skills during the actual dental implant surgery. This pilot study proves helpful for the inexperienced surgeons; however, more clinical cases will be conducted to demonstrate its feasibility and reliability.
