[The establishment of 3D geometry model element for dentition defect restoration].
OBJECTIVE
To establish the library including all elements for the restoration of removable partial dentition defect.


METHODS
To design and reconstruct every element that could be used to build up 3D geometry stimulation for any kind of restoration. The restoration made up of elements could be edited and changed easily for proper dentition defect. And the different restoration for the same defect can be got easily.


RESULTS
Established the library of all elements for restoration of removable partial dentition defect.


CONCLUSIONS
Established the elements library. It avoided the much work repeated and improved efficiency.The elements were the important base works for the further research on dentition defect restoration and instruction system.
