    摘要: A digitized image of an object may include representations of portions of the object that are obscured, occluded or otherwise unobservable. The image may be a multi-dimensional visual representation of dentition. Characteristics of the dentition and its surfaces, contours, and shape may be determined and/or analyzed. A light may be directed toward and reflected from the dentition. The reflected light may be combined with a reference to determine characteristics of the dentition, including obscured areas such as subgingival tissue.

    摘要: The present invention relates generally to mill blank constructions. According to the invention, a “smart blank” is pre-configured into a form that closely resembles a restoration being designed. The blank comprises a body adapted to be shaped by material removal into an artificial tooth part having buccal-lingual, mesial-distal and occlusal-cervical axes. In an illustrative embodiment, the body has at most one symmetric plane that is defined by a buccal-lingual-occlusal-cervical cross-section whose normal is along the mesial-distal axis. The blank also includes a holder for mounting the blank in a shaping apparatus. The smart blank provides more efficient milling and high yield.

    摘要: The present invention relates generally to mill blank constructions to facilitate the manufacture of dental restorations. A given mill blank is formed in a shape (i.e. with a given geometry) that has been predetermined to reduce material waste when the mill blank is machined into the final part. A set of two or more blanks each having such characteristics comprise a smart blank “library.” In one embodiment, a smart blank library includes a sufficient number of unique blanks such that, when the geometry of the designed restoration is known, the smart blank with a highest yield can be selected for use in milling the restoration. The “yield” of a given smart blank represents the amount of material of the smart blank that is actually used in the final restoration. Automated processes for smart blank inventory management and smart blank selection are also described.
