This invention discloses a virtual jawbone
simulation method and
system based on intraoral 3D scanning, relating to the field of
computer simulation. The method includes: acquiring intraoral 3D scanning data and constructing a virtual 3D model of the maxillary and
mandibular dentition; collecting intraoral scanning data according to
continuous data frames of the user's opening and closing movements, identifying the
relative motion information between the maxillary and
mandibular dentition during the opening and closing process, and establishing a mapping relationship between opening and closing parameters and intraoral scanning data; constructing a dynamic temporal opening and closing model based on the mapping relationship, and embedding the dynamic temporal opening and closing model into the virtual 3D model to perform
dynamic simulation of the maxilla and mandible. This application solves the technical problem of low matching degree between the simulated motion trajectory and the actual
physiological movement law of the human mandible in existing jawbone simulations, which makes it impossible to accurately reproduce the dynamic occlusal process. It achieves the technical effect of improving the matching degree between the virtual jawbone
simulation motion trajectory and the actual
physiological movement law of the human mandible, and accurately reproducing the dynamic occlusal process of the maxilla and mandible.
