Abstract
The purpose of this paper was to introduce a method for creating a digital virtual patient by combining cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), intraoral scan, and facial scan with a high accuracy of integration. CBCT scan, facial scan, and intraoral scan were obtained from initial visit. The virtual patient was created using the integration of these imaging modalities. Once the virtual patient was generated, digital workflow could be applied to initial patient consultation, diagnosis, treatment planning, virtual tooth setup, virtual treatment simulation, and post-treatment evaluation. integration of digital technology allows clinicians to improve diagnosis and treatment outcome. in addition, it allows for favorable patient communication. This technique eliminates the traditional impression process and complicated laboratory procedures for evaluating patient's occlusion during smile and habitual resting position. Based on this protocol, it is possible to create a digital virtual patient using CBCT, intraoral scan, and facial scan with a high accuracy of integration. it would be helpful for precision diagnosis and accurate treatment as well as favorable communication with patient.
