Three-dimensional digital dental model based on micro-CT / 中华口腔医学杂志

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To establish a three-dimensional digital dental model through scanning dental impression directly with micro-CT.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The polyvinyl siloxane (PVS) impression of the plaster model was taken and scanned with micro-CT. VGStudio MAX and Imageware softwares were used to obtain the digital dental model.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The three-dimensional digital model was established successfully. The scanning layer was 90 µm.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>A new way of establishing the digital dental models could be achieved with micro-CT.</p>
