Abstract:
Objective To discuss the foreground of application of reverse engineering reconstruction of dental models and to establish the foundation of developing a system for complete denture CAD/CAM. Methods The models of an edentulous jaw were measured with reverse engineering, and the 3D models were reconstructed with a computer. Results 3D models of the edentulous jaw were achieved. The characteristics of these 3D images were clear and accurate. Conclusion CAD models are reconstructed with reverse engineering accurately and technical problems in 3D model of complete denture CAD/CAM are resolved.
