Assessment of 3D facial scan integration in 3D digital workflows using radiographic markers and the iterative closest point algorithm
Merging 3D facial scans to CBCT using radiopaque markers demonstrated higher trueness compared to the ICP algorithm under the conditions tested. This technique may serve as a reliable alternative for improving integration accuracy in digital dental workflows, particularly where precise facial landmark preservation is essential.
