Generation of 3D thermal models for dentistry applications.
There are a variety of medical imaging modalities available, although each modality focus into different aspects, for example: anatomical, physiological or geometrical information. This paper presents a new imaging modality (3D THERMO-SCAN) that combines anatomical computer tomography (CT) imaging slices, together with 2D infrared thermography images and 3D scanned shaped models of the area under study. Therefore, it is presented the 3D reconstructions involving a case study of a volunteer with bruxism. Some characteristics of bruxism are the hyperactivity of the chewing muscles, which changes the dynamics of microcirculation, also changing the correspondent skin's temperature. The emphasis is to show the corresponding structures, such as jaw/mandibular region that will produce either decrease or increase in temperature, which are related to bruxism and the associated use of an occlusal splint, respectively.
