In recent years, with the rapid development of digital technology, the application of oral virtual patients in prosthodontics, orthodontics, oral and maxillofacial surgery, and other disciplines has gradually increased. Although the focus on oral virtual patients varies in different disciplines, the application of oral virtual patients in assisting the prediction of treatment effects and the formulation of treatment plans will have good prospects. The construction accuracy and presentation effects of oral virtual patients can be influenced by the source of three-dimensional (3D) image, and methods of registration. Based on the studies and clinical experiences of our team, researches of other teams, the source of 3D images, the construction methods, and the clinical applications of virtual patients in prosthodontics will be presented, so as to provide a reference for normalized application and development of oral virtual patients and to offer a future development direction of oral virtual patients.
近年，随着数字化技术的发展，虚拟患者在口腔修复、口腔正畸和口腔颌面外科等学科中的应用逐步增多。虽然不同学科关注口腔虚拟患者的侧重点有所不同，但口腔虚拟患者在辅助预测疗效和制订治疗计划等方面均有良好的应用前景。三维图像和数据的来源、配准的方法和方式均可影响口腔虚拟患者的构建精度和呈现效果。本文结合笔者团队研究、临床应用经验以及国内外其他团队的研究，论述口腔修复中虚拟患者的构建数据来源、构建方法及临床应用，为口腔虚拟患者在口腔修复中的规范应用和发展提供参考，并进一步展望口腔虚拟患者的未来发展方向。.
