    Abstract: The invention relates to a method (100) and to a corresponding system (1) for providing a dental prosthesis (10) made from ceramic material (2) having a colour matched to the patient comprising the following steps:—receiving (110) a desired nominal colour for the dental prosthesis (10), determining (120) a deviation between the nominal colour and actual colour of the sintered ceramic material (2) by the control unit (4) and defining (130) a temperature time cycle havoing a cycle time (TH), suitable for compensation of the deviation, for sintering at a defined sintering temperature (TS) and creating a corresponding sintering program (5) by the control unit (4); and—adjusting (140) the actual colour of the selected ceramic material (2) to the nominal colour (4) in the sintering furnace (3) by the sintering program (5) executed by the sintering furnace (3).

    Abstract: Light is projected from a light source in a first direction towards a tooth. The light source generates at least infrared light in the wavelength range of 950 nm to 2500 nm. A colloidal quantum dot (CQD) sensor records one or more surface light distribution images produced at the surface of the tooth by the projected light and the one or more surface light distribution images are used to compute a defect condition of the tooth.

    Abstract: Techniques and apparatuses for detecting defects on at least one tooth in the dentin or tooth enamel area that include providing an intra-oral camera that includes a confined light injector; projecting a spatially confined light in a first direction via the confined light injector at an illumination point of the at least one tooth; recording, by an image sensor, one or more surface light distribution images received via captured light that is backscattered from the tooth; and computing, by a tooth defect detection module, a defect condition of the at least one tooth by classifying the one or more surface light distribution images based on computation of light distribution differences in the one or more surface light distribution images caused by defective tooth material.
