Abstract
This paper describes a new virtual dynamic dentomaxillofacial system. Mechanical articulators have been used to reproduce mandibular movements and analyze occlusal contacts. With the help of VR and visualization technologies, virtual articulator systems can provide dynamic simulation and quantitative information visualization, enhance the functionality, and extend the system to additional application areas. We integrate mandibular movement simulation, occlusal analysis and TMJ analysis into our system, and design new algorithms to improve the results of analysis. This system is helpful to the education, the research, and the clinic in dentistry. An evaluation is conducted to prove the functionality and usability of the system.
