The virtual craniofacial patient: 3D jaw modeling and animation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we present new developments in the area of 3D human jaw modeling and animation. CT (Computed Tomography) scans have traditionally been used to evaluate patients with dental implants, assess tumors, cysts, fractures and surgical procedures. More recently this data has been utilized to generate models. Researchers have reported semi-automatic techniques to segment and model the human jaw from CT images and manually segment the jaw from MRI images. Recently opto-electronic and ultrasonic-based systems (JMA from Zebris) have been developed to record mandibular position and movement. In this research project we introduce: (1) automatic patient-specific three-dimensional jaw modeling from CT data and (2) three-dimensional jaw motion simulation using jaw tracking data from the JMA system (Zebris).

The three-dimensional (3D) temporomandibular joint (TMJ) model derives from a study of the cranium by 3D virtual reality and mandibular function animation. The starting point of the project is high-fidelity digital acquisition of a human dry skull. The cooperation between the maxillofacial surgeon and the cartoonist enables the reconstruction of the fibroconnective components of the TMJ that ar...
متن کاملSimulated Patient for Orthognathic Surgery
Orthognathic surgery corrects a wide range of minor and major facial and jaw irregularities. This surgery will improve the patients’ ability to chew, speak and breathe. In many cases, a better appearance will also result. With the recent advances in virtual reality (VR) and three-dimensional (3D) medical imaging technology, orthognathic surgery simulations typically requires costly volumetric d...
