DIGITAL DENTAL MODELING

摘要

Embodiments are provided for digital dental modeling. One method embodiment includes receiving a three-dimensional data set including a first jaw and a second jaw of a three-dimensional digital dental model and receiving a two-dimensional data set corresponding to at least a portion of the first jaw and the second jaw. The method includes mapping two-dimensional data of the two-dimensional data set to the three-dimensional digital dental model by transforming a coordinate system of the two-dimensional data to a coordinate system of the three-dimensional data set. The method includes positioning the first jaw with respect to the second jaw based on the two-dimensional data mapped to the three-dimensional data set. The method includes using at least a portion of the two-dimensional data mapped to the three-dimensional data set as a target of movement of the first jaw with respect to the second jaw in the three-dimensional digital dental model.

1. A method for digital dental modeling, comprising:
receiving a three-dimensional data set including an upper jaw and a lower jaw of a three-dimensional digital dental model; receiving a plurality of two-dimensional data sets each corresponding to at least a portion of the upper jaw and the lower jaw; mapping two-dimensional data of the plurality of two-dimensional data sets to the three-dimensional digital dental model by transforming a coordinate system of the two-dimensional data to a coordinate system of the three-dimensional data set; and simulating anatomical movement of the lower jaw with respect to the upper jaw based on the two-dimensional data mapped to the three-dimensional data set in the three-dimensional digital dental model.
