title: [A scanning method for the dental casts of intercuspal position].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To acquire the 3D point-cloud of the dental casts of intercuspal position and rebuild it in computer.
  
  
  METHODS
  A special scanning method was used to acquire the point-cloud of dental cast by using the D.02-L-3D SCANNER and rebuild the model by computer.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The method could acquire a 3D model with high resolving power and clear-cut dental anatomic configuration for the dental casts of intercuspal position.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This is a viable method of scanning with many advantages, such as precision, simplicity, high efficiency. It could satisfy the requirements of clinical practice, teaching and scientific research.
