Method and system for imaging and modeling dental structures

摘要

A system optically images a dental structure within an oral cavity. The system includes an intra-oral track adapted to be inserted inside the oral cavity; an image aperture movably coupled to the intra-oral track and adapted to capture one or more images of the dental structure; and an image processor coupled to the image aperture to generate a three-dimensional (3D) model of the dental structure based on the images captured by the image aperture.
