Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to introduce a detailed approach for constructing a complete model of the human jaw. Our previous work developed an accurate model of the human jaw surface. Unfortunately this surface is not enough for the analysis purpose which requires a detailed model of the teeth and their roots. A database of volumetric 3D models of teeth is constructed from the CT scans. The crown the tooth coming from the shape modeling algorithm provided in our previous work is matched with one of the database teeth. A registration technique is used to deform the matched tooth with our previous derived surface model. Combining this information with the jaw details and X-ray information of the roots, we can now derive a complete volumetric 3D model of the human jaw. This model is suitable for the analysis process which will include finite element work to analyze the stress and strain for different simulations. The simulations processes will include, among others, tooth-implanting and alignment. © 2005.
