An orthognathic planning system applied with at least a dental cast includes an articulator, a detecting device, at least a label module and a data processing device. The dental cast is mounted on the articulator. The detecting device is disposed with respect to the articulator. The label module has at least a label and is disposed on the dental cast. The data processing device is signally connected with the detecting device and stores midface and mandible image data. The detecting device traces the label and provides position data, and the data processing device provides orthognathic planning data in accordance with the position data and the midface and mandible image data. The present invention also discloses an orthognathic planning method.

Orthognathic planning system and method

The method comprises steps of making a plaster dental cast of a patient, reconstructing jaw image assembly models, performing registration between physical stone and image model, adjusting the plaster dental cast based on a x-ray cephalometric plan, tracking movements of the plaster dental cast, obtaining optimal symmetry planes of the upper and lower jaw image assemblies, determining whether a degree of overall symmetry is elevated, and making surgical occlusal splints for surgical guiding. With foregoing method, possible results of executing an orthognathic surgical plan can be predicted and the surgical plan can be considered more carefully to achieve both occlusion function and facial symmetry.

3D planning and prediction method for optimizing facial skeleton symmetry in orthognathic surgery

The method is performed in a computer and includes acts of importing medical image data sets of an object, selecting regions of interest of the object in each medical image data set, processing the medical image data and constructing an optimal symmetry plane. The act of selecting the regions of interest of the object in each medical image data set defines the regions of interest of the object in each medical image data set and locates the regions of interest of the object in each medical image data set. The act of processing the medical image data executes an error equation and obtains optimal parameters of the optimal symmetry plane with a symmetry value. The act of constructing an optimal symmetry plane constructs an optimal symmetry plane with the obtained optimal parameters. Based on the discovered Optimal Symmetry Plane, slanted images from medical imaging can be rectified.

Method of quantifying asymmetry of an object

This invention proposes a feature based data structure for computer manikin that is constructed from the scanned data of common 3D body scanners. The scanned data is first segmented into six parts and then encoded into range images. Feature recognition algorithms are developed and coded into computer algorithms. The software system can automatically recognize the important human feature points and feature curves. The computer manikin is constructed based on the interpolation between the feature curves. The manikin has geodetic latitudinal and longitudinal curves that pass through the geometric feature points of human body. The geodetic coordination contains all the important features that can be extracted as needed for apparel or ergonomic design, medical researches, and movie amusement industry.
