Fig. 1 — Volumetric wear measurement of occlusal veneers. ( A ) Initial mesh; ( B ) Initial mesh fixed; ( C ) Mesh after TMC; ( D ) Mesh after TMC fixed; ( E ) Alignment step; ( F ) Difference mesh; ( G ) Final mesh. The initial ( A ) and after TMC ( C ) meshes were imported to Autodesk Meshmixer (Version 3.5.474) to fix mesh by flipping normals, closing holes, and removing overlapping triangles. A plane cut was applied to reduce the volume of the meshes as in ( B ) and ( D ). Then, the meshes were aligned ( E ) in Meshlab (Version 2021.10) and a difference Boolean operation was applied. Finally, the mesh was cleaned and trimmed to the volume of interest. TMC, thermomechanical cyclic loading.
