Computer-Aided Dental Implant Technology

Abstract:

Dental Implant is a sophisticated dental surgery. Dentists must suffer fine oral surgery training so that the development of a professional dentist is quite time-consuming. We combine the medical image processing reconstruction and optical tracking techniques to provide a realistic teaching environment. The system can help dentists learning all steps during the surgery. We hope this system can increase the success ratio of surgery and lower the surgery risks. Our medical image reconstruction is reached by the toolkits named VTK. The stereo vision algorithm is introduced into this study to construct the optical tracking system. This system will provide a good study experience for dentists and to assist them during the implant surgery. After several dental medical materials show, most responses are positive. Most dentists are very interested in our system and recognize our system can greatly shorten the dental training time. During the surgery, the difficulty will also be drop down with the assistance of our system.
