3D Skull Virtual Model, Based on CT or MRI Images, Used for Dentistry Simulations

Article Preview

Abstract:

In order, to understand the problems, which occur during the dentistry simulations, it was highly important to be acquainted with the anatomy of the human skull skeleton, the way these bone components are working together to achieve a normal functionality. In this respect CAD parametric software has been used as it allows to define models with a high degree of difficulty. First, the main bone components were defined by using CT images. These images were then transferred to a CAD software using different methods and techniques. These models were completed in SolidWorks where, step by step, the virtual model of the studied bone system has been defined. Using the direct measurement method on some skull components the virtual bone base elements were generated. Then, the virtual models were exported to a software for FEA simulation and prepared for every dentistry simulations. These models were tested and was generated the finite elements structure. In the end of the paper, were extracted interesting conclusions.
