Diagram for visualization of mandibular movements relative to the maxilla. a A motion capture image representing the position of the entire maxillofacial structure with respect to four markers when the mandible is closed into an intercuspal position. b A micro-CT image representing the positional relationship between the maxilla with the adjacent bone structure and four markers. Transformation matrix and vector are calculated by registration of a motion capture image and a micro-CT image to the four markers. c The 3D reconstructed image of the maxilla with the adjacent facial and cranial complex is transferred to each frame of motion capture images of mandibular movement
