This clinical report describes a digital workflow using extraoral digital photographs and volumetric datasets from cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging to create a 3-dimensional (3D), virtual patient with photorealistic appearance. In a patient with microstomia, hinge axis approximation, diagnostic casts simulating postextraction alveolar ridge profile, and facial simulation of prosthetic treatment outcome were completed in a 3D, virtual environment. The approach facilitated the diagnosis, communication, and patient acceptance of the treatment of maxillary and mandibular computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) of immediate dentures at increased occlusal vertical dimension.
本临床报告描述了一种使用口外数字照片和锥形束计算机断层扫描 (CBCT) 成像的体数据集创建具有逼真外观的三维 (3D) 虚拟患者的数字化工作流程。在患有小口畸形的患者中，通过 3D 虚拟环境完成了铰链轴近似、模拟拔牙后牙槽嵴形态的诊断模型以及义齿修复治疗效果的面部模拟。该方法有助于诊断、沟通和患者接受上颌和下颌计算机辅助设计和计算机辅助制造 (CAD-CAM) 即刻义齿治疗，增加了咬合垂直距离。
