title: [3-D reconstruction of the maxillary central incisor by digital camera].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To evaluate the role of digital camera in reconstruction of 3-D solid model of the maxillary central incisor.
  
  
  METHODS
  Photographs of each section of the maxillary central incisor were taken with digital camera, then the 3-D model was reconstructed with photoshop software and 3DMAX software.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The precise 3-D solid model of the maxillary central incisor was successfully reconstructed.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  3-D reconstruction of the maxillary central incisor can be completely accomplished by dentists themselves.
