A method for the three-dimensional reconstruction of CT-image data permits manufacturing of natural size anatomical models thus enabling preoperative measurements of relevant parameters (length, areas, and volumes). The methods described allow for new perspectives in preoperative planning of dental implants, particularly for the maxillary problem area. The use of 3D image data for manufacturing individual alloplastic implants simplifies the exact reconstruction of symmetrical bone structures, which up to now was impossible to achieve with conventional methods. Applications in the fields of orthodontic surgery and in neurological surgery are suggested. Refinement of available techniques is possible by means of additional segmentation of soft tissues, and by implementation of more sophisticated software for better visualisation and smoothly shaped surfaces. Future applications may even include aesthetic surgery.
