Abstract: A method of x-ray projection geometry calibration in x-ray cone beam computed tomography, including: at least one step (S1) of obtaining two-dimensional x-ray images or a sinogram of at least a part of an object, generated through relatively rotating around the object a detector and an x-ray source projecting x-rays towards the detector; further including: at least one step (S4) of detecting in the two dimensional x-ray images or the sinogram at least one feature of the object by using a trained artificial intelligence algorithm; and at least one step of creating, based on the detection, calibration information which defines the geometry of the x-ray projection.

Abstract: A microcapsule for use in the treatment of dental malocclusions/misalignments based on plastic splints or aligners. The microcapsule is a few μm, such as 0.5 μm to 200 μm in size and has a shell made of plastic or glass or ceramic, the shell is filled with a liquid in the interior, and the shell breaks open when it experiences a force and releases the liquid, which can be detected optically, for example, by a color change or illumination with UV light.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for automatically generating a reprojection panoramic view (RPV) from a dental DVT volume of a patient, which is aligned with the course of the mandibular canal, comprising the following steps; (S1) localization of the mandibular canal, (S2) automatic definition of a projection region of the RPV, which comprises the following sub steps: (S2.1) automatically setting a guide curve in a plane perpendicular to the patient longitudinal axis using the localized mandibular canal; (S2.2) automatically defining a variable or constant thickness profile along the guide curve; (S2.3) Extruding the area defined by guide curve and thickness profile along the patient longitudinal axis; and (S3) generating the RPV by reprojecting the DVT volume in the defined projection region.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for the automatic generation of component-describing data for use in a preparation of additive/subtractive manufacturing jobs for dental components such as splints, denture bases, models, restorations such as bridges and crowns, in which for each at least one component type a specialized pre-trained neural network is used for setting surface and/or volume attributes of the dental component, in which the surface and volume attributes describe the accuracy and quality requirements of construction elements of the dental components with regard to the intended use, in which the accuracy and quality requirements comprise at least one of the following: geometric dimensional accuracy, mechanical strength, surface texture color, and the avoidance of the attachment of support elements, in which the neural network has been pre-trained by means of dental components for which the surface and/or volume attribution has already been carried out.

Abstract: The invention relates to a system and a method for determining the color of teeth or tooth surfaces, wherein the system comprises a 2D or 3D camera and an attachment on said camera, which sets a geometry of a captured image in such a way that, compared to capturing an image without the attachment, the distance, spatial angle and orientation of tooth surfaces relative to the camera are restricted. The attachment according to the invention can in particular be fitted to the camera in a simple manner.

Abstract: The present teachings relate to a method for assisting an intraoral scan including providing an intraoral image of a patient, and providing an extraoral image; the extraoral image being representative of the position of an extraoral scanner part. The teaches further include generating, using the intraoral image and the extraoral image, a mapping function correlating the position of the extraoral scanner part with the position of the intraoral scanner part; and computing, using the mapping function, a desired extraoral position of the extraoral scanner part; the desired extraoral position corresponding to a preferable intraoral position of the intraoral scanner part. The present teachings also relate to a system, a device, a use, data, and a storage medium.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a panoramic tomographic image (1, 11, 60) of an object (2) to be recorded using a 2D panoramic X-ray device (3), in the course of which X-rays (4) produced by means of an X-ray source (5) irradiate the object (2) and are acquired by means of an X-ray detector (7), wherein, during a movement of the X-ray source (5) and the X-ray detector (7) around the object (2), a number of 2D X-ray projection images (30) are acquired from different acquisition directions (6). A first panoramic tomographic image (1) is calculated from the acquired 2D X-ray projection images (30) using a reconstruction method, wherein the acquired 2D X-ray projection images (30) are modified using a modification method, wherein, from the modified 2D X-ray projection images (40, 50) and using the reconstruction method, a second panoramic tomographic image (11) is calculated with a higher weighting of artifacts (20) relative to anatomical structures (17, 18, 19), wherein a third panoramic tomographic image (60) with significantly reduced artifacts is calculated.
