Abstract:This study explored a method for quantitative evaluation of tooth preparation for crown based on the threedimensional (3D) scanning and reverse engineering (RE) technique. The maxillary left first molar in the standard gypsum model was prepared for all-ceramic crown. The threedimensional data of relative objects were acquired by D700 Scanner, which contained prepared tooth, neighbor teeth, antagonist and the intact tooth. Then the 3D data were imported into the RE software. The undercut-detecting surface was c… Show more
