Abstract
Presents a system for computer assisted measurements of important orthodontic parameters. The system uses a modular approach to extract and recognize objects drawn from a visual world. This approach is implemented on the extraction of teeth from a 3D jaw model. The contribution of this work is part of a computer system that will replace manual methods used currently in orthodontics
