“…Using prosthesis virtual models, SPSS systems yield the optimal implant size and positioning according to the computed CL, the visualization of the virtual bone resections and the overall simulation of the intervention prior to surgery. 7,9,12,17,22,23,26,27,29,32,33,36 However, the virtual palpation of CL and the manual arrangement of the virtual templates in the SPSS, were found to be highly dependent upon the examiners' expertise, frequently time consuming and affected by considerable inter-observer variability. 31,33,34,39 Different computational approaches to automatic CL detection and bone shape analysis have been recently proposed.…”
