PRINCIPLES OF DIGITAL IMAGING Normal X-ray

Digital X-ray

Silver halide grains in x-ray films perceived as different shades of gray by the human eye due to varying densities

Silver halide grains are replaced by small lightsensitive electronic sensors which produce an electric signal depending on the voltage recorded by the sensor

(this analog electronic signal is converted into a digital signal by a capture card [frame grabber] and represented by shades of gray ranging from values 0 to 255) www.indiandentalacademy.com

There are five basic techniques for producing digital models: 1) 2) 3) 4) 5)

Stereophotogrammetry Laser scanning Destructive imaging White light scanning CT scanning

www.indiandentalacademy.com


Stereo pairs of images are captured from two converging cameras and three dimensional reconstruction occurs in only those areas that are visible to both cameras www.indiandentalacademy.com


A new Laser scan based approach called e-models was developed to improve the accuracy and efficiency of orthodontic diagnosis, treatment planning, and bracket placement. www.indiandentalacademy.com


DIGITAL MODELS The orthodontist sends the impression and bite registration to GeoDigm/OrthoCAD. E-models are constructed through proprietary laser scanning process USES Using the e-model software, the clinician can move, rotate, or zoom in on the model and make measurements in any plane or orientation.

ďƒ˜ Pointing and clicking with the mouse can easily measure Bolton discrepancies and arch length tooth size discrepancies. www.indiandentalacademy.com


In addition, the software has an articulation feature that enables the clinician to identify centric occlusion and point of initial contact.

One of the latest innovations in 3D digital treatment planning called E-plan, which simulates multiple treatment options.

COMPUTERIZED SURGICAL PREDICTION IMAGING

“A useful indicator of potential treatment outcomes with different techniques & the orthodontist’s ability to achieve them” www.indiandentalacademy.com


VIDEO IMAGING & PREDICTION The software superimposes the patients lateral photograph onto the lateral cephalogram to a proportionate scale. When the computerized predictions are made, the patient can now have an idea of his / her probable facial appearance after the planned treatment.

Essentially it is the- imaging of the water in the tissue. Images are generated from protons of the hydrogen nuclei of water. www.indiandentalacademy.com


 Indications of MRI  MRI imaging of TMJ  Cleft lip and palate  Tonsillitis and adenoiditis, optimum assessment of upper airway  Cysts, infections and tumors

 Contraindications  Patients with cardiac pacemakers.  Patients with cerebral metallic aneurysm clips.- Slight movement of the clip could produce bleeding  Stainless steel and other metals produce artifacts ; obliterate image details of the facial area. www.indiandentalacademy.com


Importance of MRI imaging of the TMJ ďƒź Determine the structural relationship between the Condyle, Articular disc and Glenoid fossa ďƒź Detect inflammation, hematoma and effusion for the soft tissue components

NewTom QR 9000 CT Scanner In a single scan, the x‑ray source and a reciprocating x‑ray sensor rotate around the patient's head and acquires 360 pictures in 17 seconds of exposure time. The entire maxillofacial volume (13 cm‑diameter field of view) is enlarged, and the patient receives an absorbed dose similar to a peri apical survey of the dentition. www.indiandentalacademy.com


The 360 acquired images undergo a primary reconstruction to mathematically replicate the patient's anatomy into a single 3D volume. Applications Location of impacted tooth relative to roots of adjacent teeth www.indiandentalacademy.com

DIGITAL IMAGING AND SMILE ANALYSIS

www.indiandentalacademy.com


The flaw in traditional smile analysis has been based on the tracing of the lateral cephalogram, which is taken in repose (at rest) Due to this limitation incisor position has been determined from a static rather than a dynamic record. www.indiandentalacademy.com


The orthodontist as an architect of the smile needs to identify and quantify the elements of the smile that needs  correction,  enhancement  and improvement as well as identifying the positive elements of the smile that must be saved.

www.indiandentalacademy.com


Smile Analysis with the SMILE MESH PROGRAMME This methodology was first used manually by Hulsey and later modified and computerized by Ackerman The frame that best represents the patient’s social smile is selected and saved as a JPEG file. The smile image is then opened in a program called SmileMesh, which measures 15 attributes of the smile

RAPID PROTOTYPING (RPT)

www.indiandentalacademy.com


RAPID PROTOTYPING (RPT) It is a group of manufacturing processes that enable the direct physical realization of 3D computer models. This technology converts the 3D computer data provided by a dedicated file (STL file) format directly to a physical model, layer by layer with a high degree of accuracy.

STEREOLITHOGRAPHY (SLA) Stereolithography (SLA) is the most widely distributed process of RPT

www.indiandentalacademy.com


APPLICATIONS : 1. Custom made brackets for individual patient anatomy of crowns.[lingual brackets] 2.Various mock surgery procedures can be practiced on the 3D Biomodels, allowing optimal input into the management decision, pre-operative planning and choice of surgical technique.

www.indiandentalacademy.com


LIMITATIONS • Cost • Radiation exposure of the patient (CT scanning) With wider use and further technological development, these drawbacks will be minimized. The 3D SLA biomodels may in future become an adjunct to diagnosis, and treatment planning in Orthognathic surgery. www.indiandentalacademy.com


BRACKET MANUFACTURING BY RPT Using state-of-the-art CAD/CAM technology, the two normally separate processes of bracket production and bracket positioning are fused into one unit. • The brackets manufactured for lingual orthodontics is based on digital registration of the malocclusion. • The brackets are then individually designed and optimally positioned in the computer using Rapid prototyping.

www.indiandentalacademy.com


A silicone impression is used for preparation of a malocclusion cast and a therapeutic set-up. • The set-up is digitized with a highresolution 3D scanner. • The individual brackets are generated on this surface at a computer workstation. • First, appropriate pads are designed on the lingual surfaces of the teeth. • The next step is optimal positioning of the bracket bodies

www.indiandentalacademy.com


• The brackets are then constructed on a high-precision prototyping machine from a wax-like material. These wax blanks are embedded and cast in gold.

• As the brackets are made of an alloy with a high gold content, they offer an interesting alternative especially for patients who are allergic to nickel • In parallel with this design process, the archwire definition data are generated. www.indiandentalacademy.com


ADVANTAGES OF BRACKETS FABRICATED BY RPT : 1.

The exact correspondence of the bracket and tooth interfaces results in a positive lock when the bracket is pressed onto the tooth, making incorrect positioning unlikely.

Normal Lingual Brackets

2. Reduced bracket loss rate due to the shorter lever arm in the event of masticationinduced shearing. 3. Exact finishing due to better expression of tip & torque. 4. Enhanced wearing comfort due to optimum size and shape of the bracket. www.indiandentalacademy.com

ADVANTAGES OF DIGITAL IMAGING IN DIAGNOSIS OF SLEEP APNEA www.indiandentalacademy.com


Disadvantages Of Lateral Cephalograms: 1.Two dimensional data only of evaluating a complex three dimensional anatomical structure 2.Difficulty in taking cephs in supine position 3.Static investigation is only possible

www.indiandentalacademy.com


CT Advantages: 1.Volumetric & 3-dimensional reconstructions of the airway and other peripharyngeal structures are possible. 2.The study can be performed in the supine position. 3. High spatial resolution Volumetric reconstruction and 3-dimensional imaging is only possible with the newer Helical CT scanner. www.indiandentalacademy.com


MRI Advantages: 1.Non invasive with high contrast resolution 2. Allows scanning in multiple planes, allowing the whole airway to be visualized at one time. 3.Allows examination of the entire pharynx in a short time 4.Drawbacks of radiation exposure minimized.
