Abstract

This paper presents a method for effectively modeling the outer surfaces of inlay/onlay prostheses restoring teeth that are partially destroyed. We exploit 3D mesh deformation techniques: direct manipulation free-form deformation (DMFFD) [9] and multiple wires deformation (MWD) [10] with three kinds of information: standard teeth models, scanned mesh data from the plaster cast of a patient's tooth, functionally guided plane (FGP) measuring the occlusion of the patients' teeth. Our implementation can design inlay/onlay prostheses by setting up various parameters required in dentistry during visualizing the generated mesh models.
