Abstract:
An innovative method for aligning face scans with intraoral scans is introduced, leveraging a novel 3D printed device. This technique addresses the longstanding challenge of accurately merging these two types of dental scans by incorporating a physical reference point-the nose-into both scans for precise alignment. This advancement promises to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of digital dental diagnostics and treatments.
