Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for measuring a dental situation comprising a plurality of implants and/or preparations for inserting dental restorations. Using a first measuring method, a first region of the dental situation is initially recorded while first measurement data are generated. The first region is selected to comprise at least two implants and/or preparations. Subsequently, object regions surrounding the implants and/or the preparations are established, and, while using a second measuring method, the established object regions are detected, and second measurement data are generated. The second measuring method is more precise than the first measuring method.
Abstract:
The method for optical three-dimensional surveying using an intraoral camera (2), wherein the intraoral camera (2) provides that a 3D image is created from at least one of the 2D recorded images or from at least one of the sequences, and wherein a plurality of all the 2D recorded images and/or sequences created in a first operating mode (M1) are used to create at least one overall 3D image. In addition, the method provides that a selection is made between the first operating mode (M1) and a second operating mode (M2), wherein a plurality of all 2D recorded images and/or sequences created during an interval of time (T) are used in the second operating mode (M2) to create at least one 3D image immediately before and/or after a triggering command (A).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for recording several three-dimensional recordings of a dental object, wherein each of the three-dimensional images comprises 3D measured data and color data of a measured surface of the object, wherein the individual images are combined to form an overall image using a computer-assisted recording algorithm, wherein first regions with hard tissue and second regions with soft tissue are identified in each of the images using a segmentation method that depends on the color data. In applying the recording algorithm, the first regions and the second regions are weighted with different weighting factors.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method and a camera for the three-dimensional measurement of a dental object, comprising at least one light source that emits an illumination beam, at least one projection mask that produces a projection pattern, focusing optics that display the projection pattern in a plane of sharp focus at a defined focal distance relative to the dental camera. The projection pattern projected onto the object is reflected by the object as an observation beam and is acquired by means of a sensor. During the measurement of the object, the focusing optics are controlled in such a way that the focal distance of the plane of sharp focus relative to the camera is adjusted incrementally between a number of defined scan positions.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for recording individual three-dimensional optical images (1) to form a global image (50) of a tooth situation comprising an upper jaw (2) and a lower jaw (3). A first 3D model (6) of a first subsection of the upper jaw and a second 3D model (8) of a second subsection of the lower jaw are produced from the individual images. Subsequently, a geometric positional relationship between the first 3D model (6) and the second 3D model (8) is determined, said positional relationship being determined by using a lateral image (20, 21, 22) and/or using a contact pattern (31, 32). Said lateral image (20, 21, 22) comprises an image area which comprises at least part of the first subsection of the upper jaw (2) and at least part of the second subsection of the lower jaw (3). Said contact pattern comprises several contact areas (31, 32) between the upper jaw and the lower jaw. Said contact pattern (30, 31, 32) is measured by means of an occlusion paper (29).

Abstract:
The invention relates to a method and a calibration device for calibrating a dental camera (1), which is based on a fringe projection method for optically measuring a dental object (10) in three dimensions, comprising a projection grid (2) for generating a projection pattern (3) that consists of a plurality of fringes (5), and an optical system (4) that projects the generated projection pattern (3) onto the object (10) to be measured. In a first step, a reference surface (74) with known dimensions is measured by the dental camera (1) using the fringe projection method. Actual coordinates (33, 36) of a plurality of measurement points (11) are determined on the reference surface (74), and the determined actual coordinates (33, 36) are compared to target coordinates (34) of the measurement points (11) on the reference surface (74). In the following method step, proceeding from the deviations (35, 37) between the actual coordinates (33, 36) and the target coordinates (34), a plurality of compensation values (40, 50, 51, 52, 53) are calculated for the individual fringes (5) of the projection pattern (3).
