This dental technique describes a novel cost-effective workflow for integrating mandible kinematics into a static virtual patient. Computed tomography data are segmented and merged with intraoral surface scans and a target tracking video reproducing the mandible movements. A 4-dimensional dynamic virtual patient is created by using an open-source software program, and all patient-specific parameters can be exported for individualization of a virtual or analog articulator.
