Abstract: A system for accounting for changes in surface topology may include an intraoral scanner and a computer system comprising instructions that, when executed, causes the computer system to: receive initial scan data of a first surface portion of tissue and a second surface portion of tissue, the scan data of the first surface portion of tissue having a first surface topology, generate a demarcation between the first surface portion and the second surface portion, receive rescan data of an intraoral cavity of the patient that includes surface data of the first surface portion of tissue having a second surface topology, update the data of the first surface portion of tissue by modifying only at least a portion of the data according to the demarcation using at least a portion of the rescan data, and output a 3D model of the patient's teeth based on the updated data.

Abstract: Calibrating an intraoral scanner includes obtaining reference data of a reference three-dimensional (3D) representation of a calibration object and obtaining, based on the intraoral scanner being used by a user to scan the 3D calibration object, and from one or more device to real-world coordinate transformations of two-dimensional (2D) images of the 3D calibration object, measurement data. Calibrating the intraoral scanner further includes aligning the measurement data to the reference data to obtain alignment data and updating, based on the alignment data, said one or more transformations.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for applying to elicit desired tooth movement, e.g., to align teeth, including one or more attachments that each include a base region that may rigidly attach to a tooth, a top region that may couple with an orthodontic appliance, and one or more elastically deformable biases that allows the top region to move relative to the base region force is applied to the top region. The attachment may apply a restoring force to move one or more teeth when the top region is deformed.

Abstract: Systems and computer-readable media for preparing a dental restoration having optical properties matching optical properties of a patient's tooth may be configured to generate a volumetric model of at least a portion of the patient's tooth from a three-dimensional (3D) intraoral scan including both near-IR wavelength data and visible light wavelength data providing both an accurate outer surface of the patient's tooth and an internal structure of a region of enamel extending from the outer surface of the patient's tooth to the patient's dentine.

Abstract: Embedded sensors and onboard or off-board processing in an aligner case can detect aligner material and/or quality. Material detection can be used for counterfeit detection, or to trigger material specific events. Quality detection can include detection of common aligner failures or defects. A case for a dental appliance may include a tray for supporting the dental appliance, a cover coupled to the tray, and at least one sensor to detect a deformation of the dental appliance. A case for a dental appliance may include a tray for housing the dental appliance, a cover coupled to the tray, and at least one sensor configured to detect a change in material of the dental appliance.

Abstract: Systems and methods for manufacturing objects are provided herein. In some embodiments, a system includes a printer assembly configured to perform an additive manufacturing process with a curable material, at least one sensor, and a material removal device. The system can be configured to form an object portion from the curable material using the printer assembly. The system can be configured to generate sensor data of the object portion using the at least one sensor, and determine whether an error is present in the object portion based on the sensor data. In response to a determination that the error is present in the object portion, the system can be configured to remove a region of the object portion containing the error using the material removal device.

Abstract: Computer-implemented methods and systems for modeling teeth. Methods include generating a clinical crown mesh including visible surfaces of a clinical crown of a tooth; generating a parametric tooth model representing an average of multiple etalon teeth of the same tooth type; fitting the clinical crown mesh with the parametric tooth model to create an interim tooth model; and morphing the interim tooth model to mimic an anatomical shape of the clinical crown mesh. Fitting the clinical crown mesh with the parametric tooth model includes coupling point pairs on surfaces of the clinical crown mesh and the parametric tooth model, where a weighting factor is assigned to each point of the clinical crown mesh or parametric tooth model, and transforming the point pairs according to their weighting factors to cause the point pairs to converge.
