Method for creating a virtual, three-dimensional whole jaw model characteristic for the mouth of a patient and marker body for use in the method

摘要

The method involves detecting the data subsets that reflects the mouth situation in each portion. A complete jaw model (30) is composed by superimposing. The superimposition of the data subsets is carried out based on number of comprehensive marking bodies (10) with a circular peripheral edge reference body (16) inserted in the mouth of a patient. The data subsets are detected by using an imaging process, preferably a laser scanning or a charged coupled device.
