摘要： A system comprises an image capture device, an augmented reality (AR) display to display, and a processing device. The processing deice receives image data of a dental arch from the image capture device and processes the image data using a plurality of detection rules, where each detection rule detects one or more dental conditions. The processing device determines a dental condition for the dental arch based on the processing, determines a position of an area of interest on the dental arch, wherein the area of interest is associated with the dental condition, generates a visual overlay comprising an indication of the dental condition at the position of the area of interest, and outputs the visual overlay to the AR display, wherein the visual overlay is superimposed over a view of the dental arch on the AR display at the position of the area of interest.

摘要： An intraoral scanning system comprises an intraoral scanner and a computing device. The intraoral scanner is to configured to generate intraoral scan data of a bite of a patient. The computing device is configured to receive the intraoral scan data of the bite of the patient during scanning of the bite of the patient, wherein each datum of the intraoral scan data shows a portion of a lower dental arch and a portion of an upper dental arch of the patient. The computing device determines a difference in a relative position of the lower dental arch to the upper dental arch between at least a first datum of the intraoral scan data and a second datum of the intraoral scan data and performs a remedial action responsive to determining that the difference in the relative position of the lower dental arch to the upper dental arch exceeds a difference threshold.

摘要： A system determines the optimal vertical and horizontal position of a patient's mandible for properly fitting an oral appliance for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea or other conditions. Existing systems are difficult to use and result in inaccurate measurements. The present invention includes a double-sided vertical gauge for determining vertical adjustment, a set of progressively-sized keys for determining horizontal adjustment, and an arch fork. The unique designs of the vertical gauge and the keys facilitate easier and more accurate measurements.

摘要： A detection apparatus includes input interface circuitry to which upper jaw tooth row data, lower-jaw tooth row data and occlusion data are to be input, and processing circuitry configured to detect a premature contact position by generating synthetic data indicating a synthetic three-dimensional shape of upper and lower rows of teeth in the occlusal state by synthesizing the upper-jaw tooth row data and the lower-jaw tooth row data using the occlusion data as a reference and updating at least one tooth row data of the upper-jaw tooth row data and the lower-jaw tooth row data included in the synthetic data so that a state of the upper and lower rows of teeth is displaced from the occlusal state to the open state.

摘要： A bone foundation guide system has a bone foundation guide including a body that is contoured to reversibly affix to a bone segment of a dental implant surgical site. The body is further contoured to guide the cutting of a portion of the bone segment from a dental implant surgical site and alternatively support a dental implant surgical guide. The body is further contoured to support a bone foundation guide prosthesis as an alternative to the dental implant surgical guide. The bone foundation guide prosthesis combines with the body to accommodate the bone segment portion as placed through the body prior to the bone segment portion being removed from the dental implant site through the use of the body.

摘要： The present invention relates to methods and systems for generating a 3-D dental impression with a corresponding hinge axis position and, in certain embodiments, a condylar guide inclination. In some embodiments, an intraoral scanner and a computer processing system are employed to: i) generate upper and lower jaw models, and first and second occlusal 3-D models with different mouth openings (MOs) or functional positions (FPs), ii) align the models to generate a composite 3-D model, iii) calculate a hinge axis position from the composite 3-D model based on the difference in said MOs or FPs, and iv) mount the 3-D dental impression on a virtual articulator (VA) by aligning the hinge axis position to the hinge axis position of the VA.

摘要： An intraoral scanner includes an image capturing device and a processor. A method of operating the intraoral scanner includes the image capturing device sequentially capturing M images of a buccal bite, the processor generating M sets of buccal bite point clouds according to the M images, the processor matching the M sets of buccal bite point clouds to generate a bite model, when the number of data points of the bite model exceeds a first threshold, the processor computing P sets of bite feature descriptors of the bite model, when a predetermined quantity of bite feature descriptors in a set of bite feature descriptors of the P sets of bite feature descriptors exceeds a second threshold, the processor performing a registration on an upper arch model and a lower arch model to the buccal bite mode to generate a full mouth model.
