Abstract

Dental panoramic tomography represents a standard imaging modality in dentistry since it provides a convenient and inexpensive method to visualize anatomic structures and pathologic conditions with low radiation doses. However, this technique does not provide comprehensive 3D geometries of dental shapes which are conventionally demanded to computerised tomography (CT) techniques. In this paper, a tooth reconstruction process is presented by integrating patient-specific information with general dental templates. A 2D panoramic radiograph and the digitised patient plaster cast are used to customise both shape and orientation of teeth templates thus allowing a consistent 3D tooth reconstruction with minimally invasive imaging modalities. The proposed methodology does not make any assumption about the tomographic device used to collect the panoramic radiograph.
