“…Many different techniques were proposed to superimpose the intraoral scan into a facial scan to create a 3-dimensional virtual patient, using aligner systems or scan abutment [8][9][10] or simply collecting additional facial scans and perioral scans to collect some skin and dental references merging in superimposition [11,12]. This article presents a novel technique for superimposing facial and intraoral scans, eliminating the need for aligners, scan bodies, or extraoral landmarks.…”

A reliable novel technique for superimposing intraoral and face digital scan without using any aligner or scan abutment is presented. This technique involves scanning the perioral area by incorporating parts of the upper dental arch into the perioral tissue scan. Unlike other proposed methods, including the upper dental arch scan in the perioral tissues scan, ensure accurate spatial positioning of intraoral dental arches scans within the facial scan.

ObjectivesThe purposes of this study were to classify the described digital facebow techniques for transferring the maxillary cast into the semi‐adjustable virtual articulator based on the digital data acquisition technology used and to review the reported accuracy values of the different digital facebow methods described.OverviewDigital data acquisition technologies, including digital photographs, facial scanners, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging, and jaw tracking systems, can be used to transfer the maxillary cast into the virtual articulator. The reported techniques are reviewed, as well as the reported accuracy values of the different digital facebow methods.ConclusionsDigital photographs can be used to transfer the maxillary cast into the virtual articulator using the true horizontal reference plane, but limited studies have assessed the accuracy of this method. Facial scanning and CBCT techniques can be used to transfer the maxillary cast into the virtual articulator, in which the most frequently selected references planes are the Frankfort horizontal, axis orbital, and true horizontal planes. Studies analyzing the accuracy of the maxillary cast transfer by using facial scanning and CBCT techniques are restricted. Lastly, optical jaw trackers can be selected for transferring the maxillary cast into the virtual articulator by using the axis orbital or true horizontal planes, yet the accuracy of these systems is unknown.Clinical ImplicationsDigital data acquisition technologies, including digital photographs, facial scanning methods, CBCTs, and optical jaw tracking systems, can be used to transfer the maxillary cast into the virtual articulator. Studies are needed to assess the accuracy of these digital data acquisition technologies for transferring the maxillary cast into the virtual articulator.
