The paper presents a system of three-dimensional tooth occlusal surface imaging. This system is composed of a conventional microscope and Image-Pro Plus software with programmable motorized X,Y, and Z stages. The optical sectioning method is applied to determine the location of each point on the occlusal surface of the tooth. Having a three-dimensional image of the occlusal surface of the tooth, we can simulate and study the mastication process and take into account all the forces acting on the tooth during mastication.
