Purpose: Many artifacts and obstacles associated with cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scan can obscure or distort the details of the teeth and occlusal surface, like distorted teeth, streak artifacts, noise, and some malocclusion cases with excessive overlapping between jaws cause decrease the interocclusal space, which can impact diagnosis and treatment planning, and the 3D reconstruction accuracy. Optimizing dental precision by Integrating CBCT scans with other imaging modalities, supply more information to enhance CBCT accuracy, mainly in dental areas with limited clarity.
Methods: Performing the Structure-from-Motion (SfM) photogrammetry method, using phone camera and photograph studio setup using simple hardware, to digitize the dental casts and obtain an accurate digital dental model.
