Abstract

Today, an increasing number of digital technologies and software are being used in advanced maxillofacial treatment planning. DICOM data provided by three-dimensional imaging, such as cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), are stored and converted to other formats, e.g., Standard Tessellation Language (STL). These data can further easily be applied in computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) and, more recently, machine learning and artificial intelligence. The integration of various digital information from optical scans to DICOM data has yielded to innovative approaches in surgeries.

This chapter discusses novel technologies that can be integrated to data provided by CBCT, to augment diagnosis and surgical treatment planning.
