Integration and Presentation of Dental Image Information

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

We integrated 3D dental images and presented the dental information on a visual and haptic display. The integration enables to reconstruct pseudo 3D dental images from a X-ray panoramic radiograph and a tooth surface shape which can be obtained with 3D shape measurement of a dental impression. The proposed method gives clear impression of patient's dental condition. The presentation enables to navigate the dental milling training by using the electrotactile display which is a quite small device and provides unconstrained manipulation. The navigation system demonstrates the desired milling operation.
