Abstract
A method for generating a mapping of dental occlusion generates a three-dimensional model of the patient's teeth according to acquired image data. The maxillary and mandibular arches are positioned in opposition in the generated model of the patient's teeth and a meal model generated having characteristics of a foam material. A pressure field distribution for the generated meal model is calculated for one or more pairs of opposed teeth from the generated three-dimensional model of the patient's teeth. The calculated pressure field distribution can be displayed.
