[Moiré-topography--a method of stereoscopic registration of dentofacial surfaces]

The basic principle consists in effects of superimposed optical grates. With the help of Shadow-Moiré-method a three-dimensional registration of dentofacial surfaces is possible. In Orthodonty diagnostical measuring and documentation of jaw patterns could be a special use of Moiré-Topography. The comparatively small technical expense is an advantage compared to other methods.
