Description

Usage

orient(mesh)

Arguments

mesh

object of class mesh3d

Value

A numeric vector of occlusal orientation values in degrees for all the polygons of the mesh. Let the orientation from above be depicted as a trigonomical circle, then for a tooth positioned as in Guy et al. (2015) an orientation of 0 (mesial) would be located at an angle of pi/2, and an orientation of 90° (buccal) would be located at an angle of 2*pi.
