About
Yuko Shigeta is a leading researcher in oral and maxillofacial surgery, with a primary focus on the biomechanics of mandibular movement and the development of patient-specific simulation technologies. Her most cited work, from 2008, introduces a groundbreaking multi-phase simulation system that integrates a 3-dimensional plaster model with mandibular movement data to create a physical simulation robot. This innovation, developed through interdisciplinary collaboration, enables the quantitative evaluation of jaw motion in patients with deformities and dysfunctions, directly improving preoperative planning and surgical outcomes. With 4 citations, this paper has laid the foundation for personalized surgical simulations, bridging engineering and clinical practice. Shigeta’s contributions are notable for advancing the precision of jaw surgery, offering a tangible tool for clinicians to simulate and assess complex mandibular movements. Her work exemplifies the translation of robotic technology into practical medical applications, making her a key figure in the field of craniofacial biomechanics and surgical simulation.
