A system was proposed to scan dental models to record three-dimensional features seen in the anterior teeth to create a database of dental profiles. Dental casts were randomly selected to create indentations in cowhide leather. Reid Bite Reader was used to measure the bite forces generated by Reynolds Controlled Bite Force Generator to make the teeth impressions. Using the Immersion MicroScribe® 3D, information from the 53 bitemark depressions and 62 sets of dental casts were transferred to an Excel Spreadsheet. Software was developed to perform the 3D comparison using metric and pattern analysis. Statistic analysis showed 100% success when comparing both arches together of the dental casts with the bitemarks or other dental casts.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
