Research abstract
THIS PROPOSAL WILL DEMONSTRATE THE APPLICABILITY OF COMPUTERSOLIDS MODELING TO THE FIELDS OF RESTORATIVE DENTISTRY AND ORTHODONTICS. THE LONG-TERM OBJECTIVE OF THIS WORK IS TO DEVELOP A DEVICE THAT WILL CAPTURE THE THREE-DIMENSIONAL GEOMETRY OF THE ORAL CAVITY IN DIGITAL FORM. THE DEVELOP- MENT OF THIS DEVICE WILL CREATE NEW COMMERCIAL TECHNOLOGIES FOR ELECTRONIC CASTING, TEACHING METHODS, STRUCTURAL DESIGN,AND FORENSIC DENTISTRY. PHASE I OF THIS WORK WILL DIGITIZE THE GEOMETRY ON A SINGLE TOOTH, DEVELOP A TRUE COMPUTER SOLIDS MODEL OF THAT TOOTH, AND PRODUCE THE N.C. TAPES THAT WILL ALLOW A REPLICA OF THAT TOOTH TO BE AUTOMATICALLY MACHINED.
