Online dental information database for dental identification system

Abstract

Dental cast models along with dental identification data have been extensively applied in cephalometric analysis and dental identification. However, the lack of database to handle both dental cast models along with dental identification data has prevent the researchers and dentists from making an access into the dental information for further dental researches. The solution is to create the online dental model database to collect both 2D and 3D dental cast images with the search function from the information of both dentists who collect the dental model images and other dentists who are database users. Furthermore, the online dental database has facilities to record the dental identification data from individual teeth and the overall dental structure in details useful for dealing with the missing persons by matching the postmortem dental artifacts with the dental records from dental model and dental identification data.
