[0002] Tooth preparation or preparation refers to a technical operation of removing caries and modifying the shape of adjacent teeth of the affected tooth or missing tooth through dental instruments to meet the needs of retention, support, shape, aesthetics and function of the restoration body in order to restore, improve or reconstruct the anatomical shape and physiological function of the missing or missing tooth.
[0003] The wrist posture of the oral surgeon when using the dental cutting handpiece in the clinical treatment process, the steps of tooth preparation or preparation, and other factors have a great influence on the results of tooth preparation or preparation, and further affect the effect of orthodontic and prosthetic treatment.

[0004] At present, the detection device for tooth preparation or preparation process on the market mainly adopts the positioning mode of binocular cameras or electronic angle meters. However, these modes have some shortcomings, for example, in the tooth preparation or preparation process, the binocular camera is easily disturbed by light, shielding and other factors, and cannot track the real-time position of the cutting handpiece, thereby losing the position information and the system cannot work normally.
