[IGSTK-Users] Dental IGTSK

[Kevin Cleary]

Hi Mohammed

This is a very interesting idea and I agree that dental implants is a high
volume clinical application. It has not been on our agenda as we have been
focused on interventional radiology, neurosurgery, and other surgical
applications. But I do know that Tim Lueth and his group in Germany did a
lot of work on this topic and may have commercialized some of their work, so
an open source alternative would make sense.

I am the principal investigator for this project and we would be happy to
advise you on using IGSTK for this application, but we cannot do any
development work for you. If it would be useful, I would be happy to arrange
a teleconference with you and some of our developers to discuss further. If
this of interest let me know and we will set something up for next week. It
is very gratifying to us to see people from all over the world trying the
software and this is one of the great benefits of open source, in that
hopefully we can continue to build a community of interested users to share
and contribute to the software.

Best regards

Kevin Cleary

I think dental implants is one of the most important applications that igstk
should handle
for more information about dental implants you can refer to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_implant
recently ct has been widley used by dentists to plan placement of dental
implants
many software has evolved to help dentists in doing so for example
(SIMPLANT, IMPLANT 3D, INvivodental ANATOMAGE, BLUE SKY BIO, IDENT and many
others)
to plan insertion dentist work on 4 views
the first one is the axial cuts which is the direct dicom images reproduced
from the CT machine
on this view one can trace a panoramic view which is a cross sectional plane
passes thouout the jaw bone in a curved pattern 
what happens really is that the dentist draws a curved line (which is not
really curved but a group of points) on the first axial section then an
image is generated by assembling the repetion of this line throughout all
axial sections
the third view is the perpendicular plane over each point of panoramic line
the fourth one is the 3D model
 I am currently using VTK and .net to develop a new software

Mohammed-

If you give us more information on specific requirements for your
application, we might be able to help you.
