Abstract:
In recent years, with the rapid development of digital technology, the application of oral virtual patients in prosthodontics, orthodontics, oral and maxillofacial surgery, and other disciplines has gradually increased. Although the focus on oral virtual patients varies in different disciplines, the application of oral virtual patients in assisting the prediction of treatment effects and the formulation of treatment plans will have good prospects. The construction accuracy and presentation effects of oral virtual patients can be influenced by the source of three-dimensional (3D) image, and methods of registration. Based on the studies and clinical experiences of our team, researches of other teams, the source of 3D images, the construction methods, and the clinical applications of virtual patients in prosthodontics will be presented, so as to provide a reference for normalized application and development of oral virtual patients and to offer a future development direction of oral virtual patients.
