Abstract

This chapter discusses the requirements of an image analysis tool designed for dentistry and oral and maxillofacial surgery focussing on 3D-image data. As software for the analysis of all the different types of medical 3D-data is not available, a model software based on VTK (visualization toolkit) is presented. VTK is a free modular software which can be tailored to individual demands. First, the most important types of image data are shown, then the operations needed to handle the data sets. Metric analysis is covered in-depth as it forms the basis of orthodontic and surgery planning. Finally typical examples of different fields of dentistry are given.
