Abstract
PURPOSE: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the accuracy of our newly developed approach to digital dental model articulation.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twelve sets of stone dental models from patients with craniomaxillofacial deformities were used for validation. All the models had stable occlusion and no evidence of early contact. The stone models were hand articulated to the maximal intercuspation (MI) position and scanned using a 3-dimensional surface laser scanner. These digital dental models at the MI position served as the control group. To establish an experimental group, each mandibular dental model was disarticulated from its original MI position to 80 initial positions. Using a regular office personal computer, they were digitally articulated to the MI position using our newly developed approach. These rearticulated mandibular models served as the experimental group. Finally, the translational, rotational, and surface deviations in the mandibular position were calculated between the experimental and control groups, and statistical analyses were performed.
RESULTS: All the digital dental models were successfully articulated. Between the control and experimental groups, the largest translational difference in mandibular position was within 0.2 mm ± 0.6 mm. The largest rotational difference was within 0.1° ± 1.1°. The averaged surface deviation was 0.08 ± 0.07. The results of the Bland and Altman method of assessing measurement agreement showed tight limits for the translational, rotational, and surface deviations. In addition, the final positions of the mandibular articulated from the 80 initial positions were absolutely agreed on.
CONCLUSION: The results of our study have demonstrated that using our approach, the digital dental models can be accurately and effectively articulated to the MI position. In addition, the 3-dimensional surface geometry of the mandibular teeth played a more important role in digital dental articulation than the initial position of the mandibular teeth.

3Shape Trios intraoral dental scanner wins best in market award
Kastle Mills is the driving force of digital dentistry in Canada - Technology you want with the support you need.
3Shape products sweep the award table at Pragodent Expo 2011
3Shape’s two major products, Dental System™ and the TRIOS® impression-taking solution, were selected as “Best in the Market” in their respective categories at Pragodent Expo in Prague, Czech Republic.
Copenhagen, November 8. 2011 - 3Shape has once again been honored with prestigious awards for its innovation and user-acclaimed products. During award ceremonies at the Pragodent Expo 2011 in Prague, Czech Republic, 3Shape’s DentalSystemTM was officially proclaimed ”the Czech Market’s Best Dental 3D CAD/CAM system.” Only moments later, 3Shape representatives were called back to the stage to accept yet another honor, this time on behalf of 3Shape’s TRIOS® digital impression-taking solution that was elected “the Czech Market’s Best Intra-Oral Scanner.”
About Pragodent Awards
Each year Pragodent Expo’s highly qualified selection process presents winners of Best Dental Product in the Czech Market in various technology and product categories. A judgment panel composed of 5 dental professionals from the Czech Dental Association studies and tests a wide range of existing products before deciding on award winners. Both awards were presented before all members of the Czech Dental Association and all the exhibitors attending the Congress Dinner held on the second Expo day.
About the Pragodent Expo
The Pragodent Expo in Prague, Czech Republic, is among the most significant dental trade shows in Central Europe. This year’s Pragodent Expo was held from the 13th to the 15th of October 2011, and all the major brands and newest technologies were on display. 3Shape’s distributors displayed 3Shape’s latest solutions, and the dual new awards proudly showcased at the booth attracted large numbers of exhibition visitors representing dentists, clinics and lab professionals.
“All the key dental technology companies were at Pragodent, and they were all competing for these awards,” says Morten Nordsted Jacobsen, 3Shape International Account Manager. “Winning not just one, but two, of Pragodent’s awards is consistent with our strong presence in the Czech region. 3Shape’s dominance is not only evident in the fact that we have the largest install-base, but also by the market’s apparent recognition of our products as being the best,” concludes Morten Nordsted Jacobsen.
This is the second year in a row that 3Shape has been honored with a First rating at Pragodent. At last year’s Pragodent 2010, 3Shape’s Dental SystemTM was named “the market’s most innovative and powerful dental 3D CAD/CAM system.”
TRIOS® is currently undergoing the final stages for commercialization and will be available in certain regions in the beginning of 2012. Dental System 2012 will be released later this year.
