Superimposition of a cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scan and a photograph: A dental technique.

Abstract Various methods of combining facial and intraoral information have been described. However, overlapping errors lead to errors. This article describes a 3D face model that uses an ultraviolet (UV) mapping technique. The combination of soft-tissue information extracted from cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and a straightforward facial photograph provides more accurate data than with conventional methods.
