Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study is to develop a tooth excursion simulator for dental CAD. First, we developed a tooth-excursion simulator for dental CAD by numerical simulating a dental articulator. Then, this study proposed an advanced 3D-registration-based method for automatically adjusting the simulator in accordance with patient's functional occlusal impressions. Through the experiments, the proposed method was verified to be able to simulate tooth-excursions with the accuracy required for its clinical application.
