A Computer System for the Analysis of Dental Casts
Abstract
Photographs of Dental casts provide the basis for digitization of major dental landmarks, enabling computerization of such descriptive parameters of occlusion as symmetry, mesiodistal relationships, overbite, overjet, curve of Spee, tooth/arch discrepancies, Bolton ratios, and rotations.
Computing services used in this research were provided by the Computer Center, University of Illinois Chicago Circle Campus.
