Abstract:
The "AACHEN 3D Finger" is a three-dimensional measuring system for use in all fields of dentistry. The system can equally as well be installed on a plane table, as fixed to the head of a patient. The measuring device is computer-assisted, and is able to localize, register and calculate any combination of points in the oral and maxillofacial area. The reference system can be changed at any time. The "AACHEN 3D Finger" can be used as a computer-a ded system in dentistry as well as in implantology or dental and maxillofacial surgery.
