LASER DIGITIZER SYSTEM FOR DENTAL APPLICATIONS

摘要

A intra-oral laser digitizer system provides a three-dimensional visual imag e of a real-world object such as a dental item through a laser digitization. T he laser digitizer captures an image of the object by scanning multiple portion s of the object in an exposure period. The infra-oral digitizer may be inserte d into an oral cavity (in vivo) to capture an image of a dental item such as a tooth, multiple teeth or dentition. The captured image is processed to generate the three-dimension visual image.
