A General Approach for Automatically Constructing CAD Models of Human Teeth

Abstract:

This paper presents a general approach for automating the process of constructing 2D CAD models of human teeth. The generated CAD models are parametric models taking tooth type, cross sectional directions and measurements as parameters. The outline of the tooth models are composed of smooth cubic spline curves. Before generating 2D surfaces for tooth parts, the information of the generated spline curves is retrieved for correctness checking. The approach is implemented into C language and Pro/toolkit for automatically generating CAD tooth models.
