An in-silico approach to modeling orthodontic tooth movement using stimulus-induced external bone adaptation

Application Research of Tooth Arrangement Based on Rotation Matrix Calculation and Resistance Detection in Oral

The goal of this research was to provide a new approach for analyzing orthodontic teeth arrangement inside oral depending on the rotation matrix computation and resistance detection. The present method includes the following operations within a certain therapy period: first three-dimensional positions of the tooth were evaluated with a pierced laser beam and a three-dimensional system of surface-scanning. Second, the three-dimensional shape data was automatically registered at maxillary 1^st molars, and methods of coordinate had been normalized. Third, a translation vector and rotation matrix had been evaluated from automatic registration of two position data of a particular tooth. Fourth, the limited spiral axes of teeth had been measured as the zero rotational dislocation locus; and impressions for a model of the dental cast had been taken at five different points: shortly before and after device was fitted, and ten days, one month, and two months after the treatment started. The results showed that existing analysis approach could more quickly classify a specific tooth's movement by spinning all over and translating along a finite helical axis. It can provide statistical visual three-dimensional data on complex tooth arrangement throughout orthodontic therapy.
