Abstract: Mixed reality (MR) technique is a new type of holographic imaging technique that appears after virtual reality and augmented reality, and has been widely valued in the field of oral and maxillofacial surgery. The technical characteristics of MR appeared more advantages than previous three-dimensional visualization techniques. MR technique has showed broad development prospect in operation planning, intraoperative navigation, training of operation and other aspects. However, some limitations are displayed during the application of MR technique in clinic, which mainly reflected in the medical image processing system, image registration accuracy, positioning system stability, and human-computer interaction experience. Therefore, breaking the bottleneck of MR technique and improving its clinical adaptation are the main directions for the development of MR technique in oral and maxillofacial surgery.

Key words: Mixed reality, Oral and maxillofacial surgery, Visualization, Digital surgery, Human-computer interaction
