    Abstract: A method for monitoring a property of the appearance of the teeth of a patient, said method including: A) acquiring, by means of a first acquisition apparatus, at least one first two-dimensional image of said teeth and of a first reference gauge, referred to as “initial image”; B) acquiring, by means of a second acquisition apparatus, at least one second two-dimensional image of said teeth and of a second reference gauge having the same appearance as the first reference gauge, referred to as “updated image”; C) standardising the initial and updated images such that the representations of the first and second reference gauges on the standardised initial and updated images have the same appearance; D) before or after step C, marking the same region of the teeth on the initial and updated images; and E) comparing the appearance of said region in the standardised initial and updated images.

    Abstract: A system for evaluating an orthodontic appliance. A mobile telephone for, at an “appliance” instant, acquisition of at least one two-dimensional image (“appliance image”) of teeth at least partially representing the appliance in a service position worn by the teeth, and, at a “dentition” instant, acquisition of at least one two-dimensional image (“dentition image”) of the teeth. A computer programmed to execute, for each of a plurality of teeth represented on the at least one dentition and appliance images, the following: determination of dental and appliance attributes relative to the shape of a tooth represented on the at least one dentition image and relative to the shape of the orthodontic appliance on the at least one appliance image, respectively, and comparison of the dental and appliance attributes, followed by determination of at least a decision or at least one score according to the comparison.

    Abstract: Imaging device to acquire dental image having a support. The device includes a rigid portion on which an acquisition apparatus is to be fastened and a deformable portion defining a retractor opening. Associated method to manufacture a support of an imaging device to acquire dental image. The method includes manufacturing of a precursor of the support, in a first place, and providing the precursor to an operator, in a second place away from the first place. The distance between the first place and the second place is preferably greater than 1 km and/or less than 20 000 km. The method includes transformation of the precursor into the support.

    Abstract: A dental photography kit that includes a support, taking the form of a housing. The support includes a support attachment part. The kit includes a dental retractor that defines a retractor opening and that includes a retractor attachment part that is removably attached to the support attachment part when the retractor is in the mounted position on the support. The kit includes a camera that is removably attached to the support in an operating position in which the camera is oriented to receive an at least partial image of the retractor opening. The retractor attachment part is articulated on the support attachment part.

    Abstract: A method for enriching a historical learning base. Training of a first neural network to transform first photos of first dental scenes into first hyper-realistic images to simulate the effect of a dental event on the first dental scenes. Submission, to the trained first neural network, of a source photo representing a source dental scene in a dental context, so as to obtain a final image representing, hyper-realistically, the source dental scene after simulation of the dental event. Creation of a descriptor of the final image, or “final descriptor.” Creation of a historical record consisting of the final image and the final descriptor, and addition of the historical record in the historical learning base.

    Abstract: A method for evaluating an orthodontic appliance. Acquisition of a two-dimensional “appliance image” of teeth at least partially representing the orthodontic appliance in a service position. Acquisition of a two-dimensional “dentition image” of the teeth. If a determination of comparable dental and appliance attributes is not possible from the appliance image and from the dentition image, respectively, conversion of the appliance image and/or of the dentition image so that the appliance image be compatible with the dentition image. Determination of dental and appliance attributes relative to the shape of the tooth represented on the dentition image and relative to the shape of the orthodontic appliance on the appliance image. Comparison of the dental and appliance attributes, followed by determination of at least one score. At least one image is acquired with a mobile phone.

    Abstract: Method for monitoring positioning of patient's teeth including the following steps: a) less than three months after the end of an orthodontic treatment, producing an initial reference model of the patient's arches, and, each tooth, defining, from the initial reference model, tooth model; b) acquiring at least one updated image of the arches, under actual acquisition conditions; c) analyzing each updated image and producing, for each updated image, an updated map relative to a piece of discriminating information; d) optionally determining, for each updated image, rough virtual acquisition conditions that approximate actual acquisition conditions; e) searching each updated image for a final reference model corresponding to the teeth positioning during acquisition of the updated image, and; f) for each tooth model, comparing tooth model positions in the initial reference model and in reference model obtained at the end of the preceding steps, in order to determine the movement of the teeth between steps a) and b).

    Abstract: A method for generating a 3D digital, updated, model of a dental arch, including: Acquiring at least one updated image. Each updated image representing an active aligner attached, in an operating position, to a dental arch, or ‘image with aligner’, or representing the dental arch without an aligner, or ‘image of uncovered teeth’. Searching in an updated image, referred to as the ‘updated analysis image’, for representations of teeth that are non-compliant with the treatment scenario. If one or more non-compliant teeth are identified, determining, depending on the updated time, one of an intermediate models, or ‘active intermediate model’, then identifying one or more models of teeth representing the noncompliant tooth or teeth, respectively, in the active intermediate model. Deforming the active intermediate model until an updated model is obtained that is compatible with at least one of the updated images.
