Abstract: With the development of digital surgical technology, virtual modeling technology plays an increasingly important role in the research and clinical treatment of oral and maxillofacial surgeries. On the basis of static bone tissue modeling, masticatory muscle model has been gradually applied to realize the simulation of masticatory muscle dynamics and mandibular functional movement. This paper reviews the advances in masticatory muscle virtual modeling technology and its application, introduces the application scenario of virtual modeling in the study of masticatory muscle morphology, motion and function, and analyzes the problems existing in the current application and the future development direction.

Key words: virtual reality, patient-specific modeling, masticatory muscles
