HOLOGRAPHIC APPLICATIONS IN ODONTOLOGY

Holograms are useful as high durabilty recordings of the volume information of the dental arcades, besides, allowing to measuring on them and comparing two situations.
We made holograms in the same way the two papers below describes.  We presented the holograms to an international meeting of Odontology in São Paulo City  in 1993, and a paper on Biomechanics was already accepted for an international journal of Orthodontics.

.

We will put pictures and video or our holograms here.  We presented our holograms in:
"Hologramas como subtitutos dos Modelos Ortodônticosde Estudo", A. Secco, J.J. Lunazzi, C.E. Fonseca, 34o Seminário Odontológico Latino-Americano, 26o Congresso Brasileiro de Odontologia, Anhembi-São Paulo-SP, 24-29.01.92
 

We made the holograms in a professional holographic table.
For seeing our compact setup, visit http://www.geocities.com/prof_lunazzi/ensino_de_holografia/equip.htm and consider that we can do it now in that way better than ever due to 100 mW diode lasers produced at our university: await for more news from us!
