Dental models

Our detailed dental models are created using the standard marching cubes algorithm from 1987 by William E. Lorensen en Harvey E. Cline. For solidifying (voxalising) patient specific intra oral scans, we use a standard ray casting method (Scott Roth, 1980) in combination with the standard marching cubes algorithm. The resolution of vozalisation is adjusted depending on the needs for accuracy. For more detailed preparations and the realistic simulation of endo orifices we use a resolution of 0.1 mm3. These algorithms allow for quick voxalisation in our simulator using our voxaliser tool. This way students can work with patient scans without needing assistance for model generation.
