Perspectives of the Tooth Restoration Technology Based on the Computed Tomography Data
Abstract
The aim of the study is to create an image processing system, which allows dentists to create tooth surface automatically. X-rays images of jaws from the cone beam tomography or the spiral computed tomography and images from the micro-computed tomography are the initial data for processing. Example of using the combination of optical and x-ray images in the dentistry is described. Also, it was shown how to use the microcomputed tomography method to plan the placement of orthopedic structures on the lost teeth sites.
