摘要： A method for preparing a tooth crown may include generating a 3D model of an external surface of a patient's tooth and generating a 3D model of an external surface of a first crown based on the 3D model of the external surface of the patient's tooth. The method may also include preparing the patient's tooth to receive the first crown while generating the 3D model of the external surface. A 3D model of the prepared tooth my be generated. A 3D model of an internal surface of the first crown may also be generated. The 3D model of the external surface and the 3D model of the internal surface may form a 3D model of the first crown.

摘要： An imaging system is described. In one aspect, a method includes accessing pressure sensor data from a pressure sensor being bitten by a patient, accessing occlusal pattern data corresponding to the patient, correlating the pressure sensor data with the occlusal pattern data, and identifying a location of the pressure sensor relative to the teeth of the patient based on the correlated pressure sensor data with the occlusal pattern data.

摘要： 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.

摘要： An apparatus may include one or more manifolds, each including a shell having an inner portion and an outer portion. Each shell may have a first set of outlets in a first wall and a second set of outlets in a second wall that approximately faces the first wall. Each manifold is shaped to accommodate a tooth. A rotating inlet joint, having an inlet channel and a rotating joint, may enable fluid flow into each manifold from the inlet channel at any angle relative to an axis of rotation defined by the rotating joint. In each manifold, the first set of outlets and the second set of outlets are oriented towards a tooth and/or gums associated with the tooth. The inner portion and the outer portion of each shell cooperate to direct fluid flow substantially horizontal to, and then substantially perpendicular to, the fluid flow exiting the inlet channel.

摘要： An automated method for aligning 3D (three-dimensional) dental data includes extracting landmark points of a CT (computerized tomography) data, extracting landmark points of scan data of a digital impression model, determining an up vector representing a direction of a patient's eyes and nose and identifying left and right of the landmark points of the scan data, extracting a teeth portion of the scan data, searching a source point of the scan data on a spline curve of the CT data to generate a candidate target point group and determining the candidate target point group having a smallest error with the landmark points of the CT data as a final candidate.

摘要： 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.

摘要： A method of processing a three-dimensional oral cavity model may include: obtaining a first three-dimensional oral cavity model generated by scanning an object; obtaining a margin line of the first three-dimensional oral cavity model; and obtaining a second three-dimensional oral cavity model in which the margin line is represented by changing an attribute of data corresponding to a position of the margin line obtained in the first three-dimensional oral cavity model.

摘要： A computer-implemented method and system of determining a material surface from a volumetric density file includes generating a density frequency distribution of a volumetric density file of a dental impression and determining an iso-value of density between air and a particular material in the density frequency distribution. A computer-implemented method and system of creating a digital model from a CT scan of a physical dental impression includes selecting an iso-value of density for a digital volumetric density file having one or more voxels, generating one or more digital surface points in virtual 3D space for each of one or more voxels, and selecting a subset of digital surface points from the one or more digital surface points. A computer-implemented method and system of optimizing a digital surface includes moving one or more digital surface points to satisfy a criteria of optimum digital surface selection.
