The digital implementation of mandibular movement using a 3D optical scanner and target tracking system is not prone to the same restrictions and limitations inherent in mechanical equipment; therefore, it is possible to reconstruct more realistic movement(s). This technique can be used in a wide variety of dental applications involving movement of the mandibular jaw, such as fabrication of dental prostheses, or for the diagnosis and treatment of temporomandibular joint disease.
