Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Biomechanics
  • Dental Research

Background:

  • Conventional mandibular movement measurement is costly and cumbersome, hindering normal chewing assessment.
  • Existing methods often require headgear and markers on incisors, limiting practicality.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To validate a novel markerless 3D system for tracking masticatory movements.
  • To compare the markerless system's accuracy against a conventional incisal marker method.

Main Methods:

  • A 3D jaw tracking system with a depth and RGB camera was used.
  • 100 chewing cycles from 10 participants were analyzed using markerless 3D facial tracking and an incisal marker.
  • Chin and incisal points were tracked simultaneously during gum mastication.

Main Results:

  • Excellent intramethod correlation (>0.9) was found for normalized horizontal displacement.
  • Minimal proportional bias was observed between the markerless and conventional methods.
  • High correlation suggests the feasibility of markerless tracking for masticatory movements.

Conclusions:

  • The markerless 3D system demonstrates validity for tracking masticatory movement.
  • This technology presents a more accessible and less intrusive alternative for chewing analysis.
  • Further research can explore its clinical applications in dentistry and biomechanics.
