Area of Science:

  • Dental Technology
  • Digital Dentistry
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Digital conversion of patient data is crucial for dental CAD-CAM.
  • Accurate 3D facial and dental registration is essential for virtual articulator transfer.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a modified facebow for radiation-free registration of maxillary teeth to 3D facial images.
  • To enable efficient transfer of dental data to a virtual articulator for CAD-CAM.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of a novel, easily adjustable, and low-material facebow.
  • Registration of maxillary teeth to a 3D facial scan using the modified facebow.
  • Evaluation of the facebow's tooth registration accuracy.

Main Results:

  • The modified facebow allows for radiation-free registration of teeth.
  • The device is simple to fabricate and adjustable for various patients.
  • Demonstrated tooth registration error was less than 1 mm.

Conclusions:

  • The modified facebow is an effective tool for accurate, radiation-free dental data acquisition.
  • This method facilitates seamless integration into digital dental workflows, including CAD-CAM.
  • The device offers a practical and precise solution for virtual dental articulator setup.
