Area of Science:

Biomedical Engineering
Dental Technology
Computational Dentistry

Background:

Assessing dental preparation proficiency traditionally relies on subjective evaluations.
Objective, quantitative methods are needed to standardize skill assessment in prosthetic and conservative dentistry.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce a novel methodology for aligning and comparing 3D digital dental models.
To enable precise, quantitative evaluation of dental preparation skills using 3D scanning technology.

Main Methods:

Developed a three-stage process: reference-based alignment, parametric deformable model for mesh generation, and quantitative pairwise analysis.
Validated the methodology using 3D scans of Duroplastic® dental specimens acquired with an Aidite® A-IS Pro scanner.

Main Results:

Achieved high precision in alignment and modeling, with mean discrepancies from 0.0008 mm to 0.0165 mm.
Maximum surface errors were below 0.1416 mm, demonstrating robust accuracy.
The method is suitable for comparing 3D point clouds from dental scans.

Conclusions:

The proposed methodology offers sufficient accuracy for objective assessment of dental preparations.
Enables automated comparison of student and instructor dental carvings for performance evaluation.
Potential applications include the AIDDA® system, dental education, and clinical/forensic dentistry.
