Generation of 3D Tooth Models Based on Three-dimensional Scanning to Study the Morphology of Permanent Teeth

The dental student should have thorough knowledge of the dental morphology and develop adequate manual skill to reproduce any part of the tooth, thus maintaining the perfect correlation with associated structures. Computers are becoming an integral part of dental education and dental practice, espec...

Generation of 3D Tooth Models Based on Three-dimensional Scanning to Study the Morphology of Permanent Teeth
description The dental student should have thorough knowledge of the dental morphology and develop adequate manual skill to reproduce any part of the tooth, thus maintaining the perfect correlation with associated structures. Computers are becoming an integral part of dental education and dental practice, especially for the acquisition of information in three dimensions and the production of solid objects from computer models. The aim was to present educational material that would allow the dental student to learn to easily identify the morphologic characteristics of permanent teeth, using new technological tools. In order to do this, healthy permanent teeth were scanning by NextEngine 3D Scanner HD using the MultiDrive. A 360° scan in macro range was chosen in each case. The number of scans for this family was 16, due to surface irregularities that require readings from a greater number of angles.
