A fully digital workflow for generating a virtual patient for completely edentulous computer-aided implant surgery is described. Existing dentures are temporarily relined with a radiopaque dental silicone material, and a cone beam computed tomography scan is made with the relined denture inserted. Then, scans of the relined denture are made with an intraoral scanner. The radiopaque silicone material increases the stability of the dentures and allows the a cone beam computed tomography images and the scans of the dentures to be superimposed to create a virtual patient. This technique may reduce laboratory work steps, clinical chairside time, and treatment costs.
描述了一种用于生成完全无牙的计算机辅助种植手术的虚拟患者的全数字化工作流程。将现有的义齿用不透射线的牙科硅橡胶材料临时衬垫,并将衬垫后的义齿插入进行锥形束 CT 扫描。然后,使用口腔内扫描仪对衬垫后的义齿进行扫描。不透射线的硅橡胶材料增加了义齿的稳定性,并允许将锥形束 CT 图像和义齿的扫描进行叠加,从而创建一个虚拟患者。该技术可能减少实验室工作步骤、临床椅旁时间和治疗成本。
