Area of Science:

Dental Technology
Biomedical Imaging
Prosthodontics

Background:

Traditional facebow transfers are essential for mounting maxillary casts in mechanical articulators.
However, the procedure can be complex and cause patient discomfort.

Purpose of the Study:

To present a novel technique for mounting dental casts using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) data.
To overcome the limitations of traditional facebow transfers, enhancing accuracy and patient experience.

Main Methods:

Utilizing patient's CBCT data to digitally reconstruct the occlusal plane.
Aligning digital articulator scan data with the reconstructed occlusal plane.
Integrating patient's gypsum or intraoral scan data onto the digital model.
Transferring the aligned digital data to a mechanical articulator.

Main Results:

The proposed technique offers a digital alternative to the conventional facebow transfer.
CBCT data allows for precise reproduction of the occlusal plane.
This method facilitates accurate alignment of dental casts or scans for articulator mounting.

Conclusions:

This CBCT-based method provides a more accurate and comfortable alternative for dental cast mounting.
It streamlines the process of transferring occlusal information to mechanical articulators.
The technique holds potential for improving digital dentistry workflows.
