Outline of Final Research Achievements

In dental implant surgery, surgeons are required advanced techniques and extensive experiences to correctly handle the cutting device. The lack of techniques and experiences may bring on an over cut and damages to the surrounding tissue. As a result, this situation has risks of causing the subsequent complications or life-threatening accidents by heavy bleeding and nerve damage during surgery. The supporting technology for the surgeon is required to prevent these accidents.
To solve these problems, surgical navigation systems have been developed.The surgeon can get the position information during surgery from navigation monitor installed outside.However, it is an inefficient method because that surgeon must look the monitor many times and it lets the surgeon tired.
In this study, we utilized a smart watch as an efficient information transfer method.
