METHODS: The relations between the cutting variables and output parameters are studied to achieve the recommended design and cutting conditions. The interesting variables are the tooth point angle, cutting speed, and contact force. Other variables are maintained constant within the range of commercial shavers. The interesting cutting parameters are stresses on shaver tooth, resection rate, and damage experienced by the teeth. The cut quality is assessed based on the expertise medical opinion. Special setup is designed and prepared to test re-sectioning of soft tissues under different operating conditions.
