Motion Control Point Optimization of Dental Arch Generator

Abstract

During the manufacture of complete denture, the most important step is to design and generate the dental arch curve which adapts to the requirement of patients according to the jaw arch morphology of them. It is important to study the optimization method of the number and position of control point for the dental arch generator. This paper focuses on of the multi-manipulator tooth-arrangement robot. Quantitative model of the dental arch generator is established. On the basis of motion analysis of the dental arch generator, objective function, multivariate design and constraint function of control point optimization of dental arch generator is determined. Control point number of the dental arch generator is optimized. Single point error method of the dental arch generator is presented to realize the control point position optimization of the dental arch generator. Simulation results verify the feasibility of control point optimization method. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
