Acquisition of diagnostic data in orthodontics must describe and reproduce the “Anatomical Truth” of the patient, and for this, precise facial skeleton and dentition as well as face soft tissue data are required. Since most of the 3D imaging techniques only display one of the three structures with optimal quality, it is evident that these imaging techniques are more powerful when they are used together. In this presentation, I will introduce how to create a virtual patient “Dental Avatar” by precisely integrating three digital images. In addition, the image created through digital technology is not only used for diagnosis, but an appliance can also be made based on it. Through this presentation, I would like to talk about the use of “Dental Avatar”.
Learning Objectives:
After this lecture, attendees will be able to:
Evaluate the advantages and limitations of CBCT, intra-oral scanner, and face scanner data used for diagnosis.
Easily and accurately integrate CBCT, intra-oral scanner, and face scanner image with different data formats such as DICOM, STL, and OBJ.
Know that not only is digital image data used for diagnosis, but also identify the various applications made using it.
