Abstract:
A processor receives first intraoral scan data comprising a first depiction of a dental site; generates a virtual three-dimensional (3D) model of the dental site using the first intraoral scan data; and processes at least one of the first intraoral scan data or data from the virtual 3D model to identify an unclear feature. The processor outputs instructions to generate second intraoral scan data of the dental site depicting the portion of the dental site that is unclear; receives the second intraoral scan data; and updates the virtual 3D model of the dental site using the second intraoral scan data, wherein the portion of the dental site that was unclear in the virtual 3D model is replaced with information from the second intraoral scan data.
