    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Medical Simulation
    • Origami Engineering

    Background:

    • Haptic feedback and virtual reality (VR) are crucial in medical simulators, but haptics often present cost and size challenges.
    • Acquiring proficiency in the inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) procedure in dentistry is a difficult motor skill due to complex tactile feedback requirements.
    • Existing training solutions for IANB are often impractical due to oversimplification or overcomplication.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a low-cost, compact, and accurate haptic interface for inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) local anesthesia training.
    • To leverage origami principles for creating a versatile and tunable haptic feedback system.
    • To evaluate the performance and usability of the developed haptic syringe.

    Main Methods:

    • Designed and developed an origami-based haptic syringe interface utilizing the Kresling origami pattern.
    • Characterized the mechanical properties and force feedback of the developed interface.
    • Conducted a preliminary usability study comparing the haptic syringe to traditional methods for IANB training.

    Main Results:

    • The origami-based haptic syringe successfully simulated the tactile experience of anesthetic injection.
    • The force profile generated by the haptic syringe was perceptually similar to that of a standard Carpule syringe.
    • The usability study indicated significant improvements in IANB training simulation effectiveness.

    Conclusions:

    • The origami-based haptic syringe offers a promising solution for cost-effective and accurate medical simulation, particularly for dental anesthesia training.
    • The developed interface demonstrates potential for broader applications in various medical training and simulation scenarios.
    • This innovative approach addresses the limitations of current haptic technologies in creating accessible and effective training tools.
