Abstract
Purpose of Review
Recent developments in digital technology to be generated by superimposing different 3D imaging datasets. The aim of this literature review was to provide an update on the current status of knowledge, to report on the progress in virtual patient science, and to identify further research needed to facilitate the translation to clinical practice.
Recent Findings
Case reports were identified describing different dental patient simulation techniques. Publications focused mainly on methodological feasibility of combining skeletal, facial, and dental imaging to produce virtual simulations. Clinical randomized controlled trials were scarce.
Summary
Superimposition of 3D medical data files is a feasible technique to create a virtual patient under static conditions. 3D image fusion is of interest and importance in all fields of dental medicine including diagnostics, treatment, science, and education. Future research should focus on simplifying the technology, to enable virtual patient simulation to be generated in a single-step approach.
