The objective of the presented paper is to compare the usage of different digitization methods to generate finite element models of dental structures and restorations. Four different virtual models were generated by using intraoral‐, CBCT‐, CT‐ and micro‐CT datasets. Subsequently there were compared due to their field of view (FOV), accuracy and radiation exposure for the patients. Depending on the specific application all four virtual models showed a qualitative and quantitative correlation associated with in‐vitro and in‐vivo studies. Further the influence of artifacts and application limits were classified with weight functions for the use in a database. (© 2017 Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
