Reliability of cusp angulation using three-dimensional (3D) digital models :A Preliminary In Vitro Study
Conclusionss Cusp angulation using 3D digital models was a clinical option and appeared to improve the reliability of cusp angulation compared with measuring plaster casts using a goniometer. Intra-rater variability was still evident in measuring small cusp angles using the digital model.PMID:35668665 | DOI:10.1055/a-1868-6555 (Source: Methods of Information in Medicine)

Sensors, Vol. 22, Pages 2443: ARACAM: A RGB-D Multi-View Photogrammetry System for Lower Limb 3D Reconstruction Applications
Huegel In the world, there is a growing need for lower limb prostheses due to a rising number of amputations caused primarily, by diabetic foot. Researchers enable functional and comfortable prostheses through prosthetic design by integrating new technologies applied to the traditional handcrafted method for prosthesis fabrication that is still current. That is why computer vision shows to be a promising tool for the integration of 3D reconstruction that may be useful for prosthetic design. This work has the objective to design, prototype, and test a functional system to scan plaster cast molds, which may serve as a p...

IJERPH, Vol. 19, Pages 3581: Reliability of Tooth Width Measurements Delivered by the Clin-Check Pro 6.0 Software on Digital Casts: A Cross-Sectional Study
arcovich The purpose of this study was to assess the accuracy and reliability of tooth width measurements and Bolton Indices delivered by the Clin-Check Pro 6.0 software (Align Technology, San José, CA, USA). Fifty-four plaster casts were selected and measured with a manual calliper by a trained and calibrated observer. The data gathered were compared with those delivered by the software on the corresponding fifty-four virtual casts. The method reliability of the software was assessed by comparing the measurements performed by the software on 201 pairs of clin-checks corresponding to two consecutive trea...
