Abstract:
A processing device receives images of an oral cavity of a patient generated by an intraoral scanner and subsequently receives an additional image of the oral cavity of the patient. The processing device makes a comparison between the additional image and the previously received images and determines an amount of overlap between the additional image and at least one of the previously received images based on the comparison. The processing device displays image data from at least one of a) the images or b) the additional image. The processing device determines whether or not the amount of overlap meets or exceeds an overlap threshold, and displays one or more visual indicators based on whether or not the amount of overlap meets or exceeds the overlap threshold, wherein the one or more visual indicators indicate whether or not the amount of overlap meets or exceeds the overlap threshold.
